6/3/2016 0 Comments Feeling HopefulInfertility is not for the impatient. I have been waiting all week for the doctor to call to discuss our options now that our insurance is refusing to pay for the laparoscopic surgery. The doctor finally called back today. I’ve always heard if you ask 10 different doctors you get 10 different answers. At this fertility clinic I have been working with two different doctors. The first doctor told me that I had one tube definitely blocked and one tube that was likely blocked but he could not say definitively. Now, this doctor is saying he thinks the tube just has a “normal variant” instead of a blockage and it should be completely fine. He also thinks the other tube was just having a spasm based on the way the dye appeared in my system. So, he would like to do another HSG test to see if they can get the dye to go through.
I don’t know if I should feel infuriated or hopeful. On one hand, this is great news that I could have perfectly fine fallopian tubes. One the other hand, it seems they just wanted the insurance money from doing a surgery that almost seems unnecessary to me now. Of course, now that we’ve already completed one HSG test the health insurance will not pay for a second. This cost will be $708. Not great… but far less than $5,000. If this test comes out favorably we will start hormone treatments. To leave you guys with one more Grace and Frankie quote (Seriously guys, if you haven’t watched this show pencil it in to your weekend plans): Sol asks Grace to go to his house to pick up some things and asks Grace, “Are you sure you’re okay with doing this?” Grace replies, “I’ve learned to live with a very flexible definition of okay.”
