Hi ladies,


for those who don't know me, I'm Monica, 28, DH Solomon, 28. I was a member of TTCAM after m/c 11/06. I was here at PAL briefly in July (chemical). DH and I were waiting until November (when I would be added to his insurance) to TTC but uh, I took a test Friday and there was the faintest of faint lines. I couldnt even tell if it was pink or gray, and I honestly thought it was an evap or something and swore to never buy FRER hpt again, lol. Well, I tested again today (two days later) and sure enough BFP!!!!!!!! I haven't told anyone obviously, and will wait until I'm 28 weeks if possible, lol!!

I read your post above about your sis before this one ...


Huge congratulations, Monica! It's so good to see you here, and that's one good looking BFP! Nice Tiffany's box too ... LOL


I was in the same situation with the progesterone gel (Crinone) not being covered by my insurance, and I quit my job the same week I got my BFP. I ended up putting it on my credit card (yuck, but wanted to do whatever I could to help the bean). Fortunately, I got on DH's insurance the same month and they retroactively covered it (so we got $1,400 or something like that back!) There's a big difference in what insurance will cover sometimes. I think I had to have my doctor write a letter as to why I needed it, and DH's insurance would cover it under that condition, whereas mine viewed the gel as strictly a fertility drug (even though I explained that wasn't why I was using it).


I hope you're able to get what you need. Stick up for yourself!


Hugs,

Jane

Monica, I didn't realize you were back until I saw your response to my message! I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Yayyyy!!!! :) And can I just say that I LOVE that the positive test is sitting on a Tiffany's box?! LOL! That's great!


As for the progesterone, I'm sorry I don't have any ideas. Would you qualify for medicaid by any chance? I have no idea if it's covered under that either but that's the only thing I can think of right now. Or could you scrounge up the money to pay for it for a month and in the meantime work on getting on DH's insurance? Good luck sweetie, I hope this is it for you! :)

Sorry about the progesterone I had to pay that out of pocket as well and it was such a shock when I went to pick it up!! As my insurance wouldn't cover it as that isn't what it is prescribed for! you gotta do what you gotta do and I am SOOOO freakin' happy to see you here with a BIG FAT POSITIVE!!! CONGRATS to you both and I hope that you are going to tell Solomon before 28 wks!!
