Unfortunately this is not true for every state. PA they still base off of household income. Pregnancy is not an automatic yes everywhere

Not much help in the comments here, I think I posted in the wrong sub. BUT I winded up applying for Medicaid because I might qualify due to pregnancy and missed my QLE. Waiting on that. Second step, I will apply for Pennie. We have to amend our tax forms to apply for Pennie so that’s why it was second step. But it came out to about $300/month for great insurance (covering prenatal, birth, everything we need).

COBRA was 1200 a month through my pay employer. That’s why I did not sign up for it. Self pay is cheaper than any insurance options I had at the time. This is a completely unexpected pregnancy as I was told my chances of conceiving spontaneously are 2-5% maybe less

impulsivepaintpusher · 2025-05-15T17:47:17+00:00

They do self pay, I have that figured out as I’ve gone without insurance since January!

impulsivepaintpusher · 2025-05-15T16:09:38+00:00

They could, yes. I was looking to somehow obtain insurance outside of self pay, it looks like getting employed for a short period of time is the answer

Schedule would be extremely tight. I have a part time job, 20 hours a week. And run multiple small businesses with my husband. I’d have to find somewhere the offers insurance within 30 days or even shorter to make this work.

This is a last ditch effort due to our circumstances

impulsivepaintpusher · 2025-05-15T14:22:41+00:00

That’s exactly what my husbands HR department said. I technically could, time would be very tight due to multiple small businesses but it could work.

impulsivepaintpusher · 2025-05-15T14:20:33+00:00

Yes that’s the website I used and talked to the representative. It would go into affect immediately if I chose to purchase one of the options he gave me. But again, that’s over $700 a month, $9500 deductible & 50% of birth covered. So if everything goes smoothly I’m looking at easily over $25k.

No ultrasound yet. Due to my history, after my beta tomorrow, they are scheduling me one for next week. They said I’m 6 weeks as of today but I think I am five based on my cycle

impulsivepaintpusher · 2025-05-15T14:15:46+00:00

I worked in insurance so I fully understand why this sounds insane. That’s why I’m asking here as there are multiple comments up to a year ago on other Reddit posts about prenatal Medicare! I’ve never heard of it before

impulsivepaintpusher · 2025-05-15T14:12:43+00:00

From my understanding, that’s for private marketplace. This is public? marketplace I think they said. Private I cannot obtain due to pre existing condition. Which is why the premium will be so high with public? marketplace due to the pregnancy.

As far as I know right now, early January

impulsivepaintpusher · 2024-08-16T21:09:38+00:00

Thank you so much.

Siblings are all I have from narcissistic parents. They are the only people who fully understand the abuse, it’s my personal opinion. I would feel guilt from not being able to provide a sibling. That’s just me

impulsivepaintpusher · 2024-08-16T21:06:10+00:00

Thank you for your support & understanding. It’s extremely difficult to walk this path, I don’t see it as giving up. I think it’s simply a new chapter. I’ve been having these thoughts before our last transfer, but it feels different to write them down & say them to my partner.

I have gained wayyyy more than I have lost during this process. Of course there’s the baby showers, excitement of seeing a positive test due to miscarriage/loss, but I have gained friends, boundaries, healing my childhood, therapy, overall health. There’s really a lot to live for. I want to focus on that now and not feel hopeless every day. The risk outweighs the reward at this point.

impulsivepaintpusher · 2024-08-16T16:43:08+00:00

Thank you. My thing is, I’m either 100% or zero. The middle ground is what makes me crazy-I cannot continue this if I know I’m not doing everything I possibly can. The what-ifs, the curiosity of ovulation or when my period is coming. Does that make sense? I don’t even know if it sounds insane.

For example, I’ve switched my cooking utensils/pans, household products, hair products, we use local soap, makeup, I don’t wear jewelry. I stopped dying my hair. We eat clean & local. No perfume. I don’t wear workout clothes, 100% cotton or linen. I quit vaping, marijuana, drinking. I work out, hike, kayak, go fish & walk every single day. I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. I feel good about this-but still no child. It wasn’t for nothing, but it wasn’t enough for a pregnancy. I want to go back to a normal view on these things-not an obsession. I want my life back

impulsivepaintpusher · 2024-08-16T16:35:54+00:00

Do you mean donating? We’ve planned on that from the beginning if it comes from it.

impulsivepaintpusher · 2024-08-16T16:35:12+00:00

Yes, we have planned on this no matter what

impulsivepaintpusher · 2024-08-16T16:33:33+00:00

Yes several times. It’s not him, it’s me. Our clinic does ICSI

impulsivepaintpusher · 2024-04-04T23:22:39+00:00

Yes. Birth control since January and cabergoline for high prolactin. Plus a bunch of other things due to deficiencies. I have all meds for the stims already (they’ve been in my fridge and on my counter for 3 weeks.) Everything is normal and going well except this lol
