The Fralick Family

Sooooo.....Wednesday I started working at the Foot Clinic for Dr Ponton......not really my cup of tea. I almost gagged a few times.....and I guess it's not that it was that bad....it's just not for me. It was waaaay too much interaction with the patients. I will spare you some of the more interesting details that have made everyone that I have told kind of disgusted! However, I worked today at the WF office and I loved it. I might mention that there are no patients on Fridays and it's just doing paperwork and stuff. Now, that's my cup of tea. I guess I'll live through it for the next 16 weeks!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Sayavong yesterday. It was as good as to be expected I guess. I really really like him; more so that Dr. Gates. With Gates, it was like every time I went to see him, they had no idea who I was or what I was there for. This always astounded me since most of my appointments were monthly. When I met Dr. S yesterday, he was very nice and had a great personality. He was the kind that knew when to crack a little joke and he seemed genuinely interested in my case and like he was ready to do whatever he could to make me a mom. Anyway, pretty much the plan that was set out was that I would have a
hysterosalpingogram (I've had one before, but he said if he had to send me to specialist, they would want a more recent one), they have to run an "analysis" on Bill and then we go from there. Since I have taken the ovulation drugs before he said we will start with those, but at a higher dose and only do a cycle or 2. If that doesn't work, we will probably go to IUI. Feel free to look it up. Dr. S's options end at the clomid. After that, I would have to go to a specialist. He suggested Evansville since they were closer and I would have to travel there frequently. After we were finished with everything yesterday, they left it that they were going to call my insurance before they made the appt for the HSG and see if my insurance would cover infertility. I told them I was sure it didn't but that I wanted to just pay for whatever it didn't. So, the nurse was going to call me today with the information. Pretty much after that, I was just sick because I figured that they would want to go slow since I would be self pay. When I as at work today, I got a call from their office and she said the office manageer had talked to my insurance. Great. She said she wanted to read their response to me....insurance covers infertility 100%!!!!!! Well, with the exception of IVF, but still I'm hoping it won't come to that. What a load off! So, my HSG is scheduled for Jan 21 and I guess we go from there! I didn't hear much else what she said, I was crying a little and just overly excited with the insurance news. It is VERY rare for ins to cover anything like that!

Other than that, not much else has been going on. Christmas decorations are all packed up and put away. I'm ready for some snow! I'm sure it's coming soon, and then I will wish it away! Anyway, have a good night!!
