Money Talks in Maybe Baby

I’m feeling very discouraged today. NP recommended one last test for me, an HSG. She also recommended that I have it done at the office of a local RE. This place is very reputable and so far the staff have been wonderful and I’m not even a patient yet, just a person calling to ask a lot of questions. Found out today that whether we go through the RE or my regular GYN office the HSG will not be covered by my insurance. So, we’re looking at about $700 out of pocket. Husband needs another SA to make sure his result was accurate, not sure what that will cost. Last one was $150. Possibly another $150, possibly more. So, we have to have a chat tonight. And then hopefully we can make a plan for moving forward. I still have no idea what the cost of an IUI would be. If this relatively simple procedure is 700 bucks I imagine that the IUI is at least double that considering office visits and medication. Maybe three times as much.
After we talk tonight I’m hoping to call and find out if we can get a consultation with the RE to get more information about cost and whether or nor we can even afford this.
I’m so frustrated…and discouraged…and heartbroken. Which is really not helping things I’m sure. I would really like for this to be as easy as it had been for everyone else around me. I’m trying really hard not to escape down the path of woe is me but I seem to be slipping there. :/
