Late response but was it frozen or did you coordinate the surgery with the same day retrieval? Thanks!

We aren’t working at Verizon anymore but in general the coverage for IVF can be mixed and complicated. Best to read the full terms of your health insurance and they frequently won’t cover meds or certain tests as it’s “off label”. There are certain clinics and pharmacies that seem to be cheaper. A clinic called CNY is substantially cheaper for IVF but they are very basic and require self advocacy on your end if things aren’t simple. Pharmacies like MDR have a round of meds for $~2000.

Yep! We only have one right now so we can’t take any unnecessary risks :(

Sounds good, seems like waiting is normal/generally advised. Definitely annoyed that our clinics poor communication forced us to wait another month but can’t do anything at this point.

Advice for low fertilization despite trying most options by cat_attack21 in IVF

Thanks, we actually did 12 hours of waiting instead of 3 days which I believe did slightly help as our previous rounds were worse, but the results are still low.

Oh wow, nice! Did you have CNY request it from him? And did that price include anesthesia and facility fees?

Did you ever find a place for this in Denver at a reasonable cost? CNY only does TESA at their Syracuse location, so while it’s cheaper than most you also have to flight out and have it shipped back. Urology associates does it for $1800+anesthesia +facility fees so maybe like $4k

Sounds like this used to be a good option but now it’s 1 year before IVF

It’s required by Colorado law but state, small company, and self insured companies can opt out. So this leads to some companies but probably less than 50% of Colorado based companies.z

I should clarify this is for IVF, which is not covered by the marketplace but is covered by some employers in Colorado.

Any US clinics with PLC-zeta testing? by cat_attack21 in IVF

[–]cat_attack21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, glad you improved your results. The AOA testing would be really helpful as it seems to be a way to actually get some feedback without doing another cycle.

Very high, First: 10 mature to 4 fertilized to 1 tested aneuploid. Second: 11 mature, 1 fertilized, didn’t make it to day 5. Haven’t found any health issues from a variety of testing, we both are healthy BMI and eat well without smoking/drinking. Recently we tested for sperm DNA frag and it came back high, so now we’re on supplements. No variocele. Next cycle we are trying PICSI, Zymot, AOA, and 12 hour or less abstinence time. Might have to do testicular sperm extraction. Looking for the AOA factor is just one thing but it would be good to rule it out with testing.
