May 10, 2012 – Waiting

I assumed that since we were not currently able to try and conceive a baby that the big waiting game would be over… As usual, I am a moron.  The nurse called with my HCG levels.  Today we are at 7, a whole 2 points less than last week.  She explained that they are hoping it will drop off after I have a period.  So, I am waiting for my first period.  It turns out that my doctor was wrong about it coming this week.  Thus confirming that he is not psychic, which would be really handy for an OB if you think about it.  Regardless I will be going in for my 10th HCG draw on Wednesday. 

I did just find out that the insurance is doing a really good job of covering all the lab work.  Thank God we have insurance!   Although insurance doesn’t cover anything related to fertility treatment (labs, meds, visits) it has covered everything associated with this pregnancy.  As the bills roll in and we are nearing the end of our 1st year of trying I am going to add up all the pre-insurance costs of this year and see how much it would have cost insurance free.  I wonder if we will spend as much money on health care as we spent on medical school.  I am certainly off to a good start!
