Hi Patty, I don't believe Dr. Levin does ivf. Although I have never

had an ivf, I will tell you what I know. They give you injections to

stimulate your ovaries to produce a lot of eggs, they retrieve and

fertilize them (with your dh sperm). The eggs divide, and after so

many days they insert 3 or 4 of them back into you uterus, and hope

they will implant.

Even if your insuarnce covers ivf the chances are they don't cover

the fertility meds. The meds are quite expensive sometmes up to

$3000 for one cycle. Some fertility clinics won't accept anyone over

the age of 35. The older you are the lower your chances of

implantation. There is a lot of monitering going on with ivf, so you

spend a lot of your time at the doctors office each cycle.

I have a friend who has done 3 or 4 ivf's because her insurance

covered it. It got to be too frustrating for her so she went the

tubal reversal route. Having a tr seems to be a lot less work in the

long run. Does your insurance cover a tr? You will have to let us

know what you decide.

Does any insurance cover TR????

[Guest guest]

Ladies, I'm getting really nervous. My date is July30. I am going alone

from Boca Raton, Fl. Any of you girls that have already been through it have

any advice for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

, I am not sure if the insurance will cover the tr or not I am

checking into it. I am sure I am going to go with the tr whether they cover it

or not. I have decided this only because I don't want to go through this again

5 years from now if I want another one. I am 29 and I don't know if we'll want

another one or not. I told my dh that I didn't want to do the ivf, and he is

ok with that. Thanks for your help.

Patty:

That is exciting that you are going with the tr. I think you will be

a lot happier doing it that way, especially if you might want another

one someday. Moe is very right, just because your insurance says

they don't cover tr doesn't mean they won't. My insurance said they

didn't and they ended up sending me a check for 80%.. So there is

always hope. Good luck.

Just keep thinking positive thoughts. Everytime you get a little

nervous you have to think how good it will feel to be whole again.

You will do fine. I promise... You are so lucky that Dr. Levin is

going to do your tr. They will take great care of you. I have had

to make a few trips to ky lately for my fertility treatment. I wish

so much it would have happened to fall around the time of your

surgery so I could visit you. My prayers will be with you.

Hi ,

My date is for the 16th, geeez it's only a few days away!! Anyway, I

was given advise on taking loose clothing, pillows and a phone card

with lots of minutes.

Pillows to help you when you have to cough and the phone card is for

keeping in touch with your loved ones. I'm also going alone and I

sure know how you feel.

Take care,

Elda
