@Elakiya well at least you know you have a pretty darn good insurance lol!! Thats awesome. Yes with NHS it could be a while so this is great that you dont have to wait. So pleased for you.

Oh wow that is pretty neat that they cover that hahah.

@elakiya I'm too busy today to properly reply but I'm so happy for you that they will cover some things. Will reply properly later, I just wanted to check in..

Elakiya · 26/08/2020 14:39

@candycrush2298 I had to google it but apparently it's some sort of keyhole surgery to look at your uterus.

NamechangeTTC · 26/08/2020 14:39

I drink too much fluid @candycrush2298 and I know my last peak was 3 hours so I’ll never catch that!

Elakiya · 26/08/2020 14:38

@candycrush2298 Yep the gynae was pretty sure nothing would be covered too. I was very shocked when she said yes we'll cover you for a few very basic things. I'm actually surprised they're happy to cover me for PCOS as that's infertility too. Everything so complicated.

My gynae said that the HSG is the most expensive one. He then said its £400. I decided that if worst comes to worst I'll pay myself as by the time the NHS do it I reckon it will be another 2 years.

@Elakiya aww I can imagine I would have been super upset as well. At least there is a very big silver lining at the end of it as I have heard an HSG is very expensive. I didnt know the insurance will cover it.

I tried to get private insurance and was told straight off the bat by Bupa they dont cover anything to do with infertility and no insurance in the UK does so didn't bother getting private insurance as that was the whole reason I wanted it lol. So very very pleased for you this is fantastic news

@candycrush2298 Thanks hun x I am so much happier now. I was literally in tears when I was coming back from the hospital because the gynae said insurers never cover this sort of thing.

I've been told though that if the NHS has done any of those tests already then I am not covered. For example, they won't cover Ultrasound anymore as the NHS have done it. They don't technically do bloods either, but its been over 2 yrs since the NHS tested me so she said they'll cover it but only the once.

And she made it very clear if as a result of this they find that it is affecting my fertility, they will not pay for treatment so no more consultations. Better than nothing :)

@Elakiya awww wow that is fantastic. I have heard you are really fertile after an HSG and it can help clear any blockages that is fantastic. I want one done hahahaha.

@candycrush2298 I clearly did that too hastily. I called my insurance company and said look I've been suffering with infertility I want to see a gynae (didn't tell them I was already seeing one as that started off being due to abnormal bleeding). Anyway they said they'll cover the consultation and cover the following

  • Bloods
  • HSG scan
  • Laproscopy?
  • Ultra sound
I need a HSG scan and some bloods done. It's covered. Hooray :) If this fails I need to go back to the NHS but praying I am pregnant before that.

Elakiya · 26/08/2020 13:11

Okay Ladies here's the update:

None of it is covered by the insurance. I need to go back to the NHS Sad

Kaybobx · 26/08/2020 13:08

Oh man, i hope this soy hasn't broken me. AF finished 2 days ago, just went to the loo and wiped brown! Ahhh what's happening 😳

NamechangeTTC · 26/08/2020 11:51

I doubt I’ll find ovulation this month cause I’ll be at work and can’t pee for long!

@NamechangeTTC its OK if you started to BD yesterday. Hope you are better today and your bowels have recovered from the takeaway 😂😂😂 when your CM starts going clear and slippery like eggwhites thats exactly when you want to BD.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 26/08/2020 11:04

Good luck @Elakiya

I finished the soy yesterday. Negative opk.

Waiting to test today.

Ovulation last month was a day earlier than the app so wanted to BD yesterday but had a Takeaway and the shits so didn’t. Started today. Not in fertile window according to apps but the CM looks like something. Legs in air at present.

Kaybobx · 26/08/2020 10:38

@Welliedays i had AF type cramps for weeks so went for a private scan at 7wks and all was ok with a nice healthy heartbeat 🙂

@Elakiya good luck at your appointment. Keep us posted.

@Elakiya thanks for updating us. If you ever need to vent we are right here.

Hopefully its good news with regards to insurance coverage today at your appointment.

If it is a good few months then at least you know you have a goal in mind. But hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones and conceive naturally before needing any of those treatments.

Cant wait to hear the updates!! Thinking of you xx

Welliedays · 26/08/2020 09:17

Thank you @kaybobx

I actually feel like AF is coming today, I've woken up with cramps and tmi, but I keep getting cm that feels like AF if that makes sense.

Please do keep us updated @elakiya you know we're always here if you need us

Elakiya · 26/08/2020 09:13

@candycrush2298 @Kaybobx @Welliedays
Thanks ladies, I just needed to cry to someone and thankfully you guys were here.

I'm going to see the gynae today and discuss what can be done on insurance. I will keep you guys posted. I'll then come back and call to book an appointment with my GP to ask them to refer me back to the NHS.

I've also set myself a very big target of trying to lose all the weight before my NHS appointment comes through. From the sounds of what's happening to you ladies, I'm guessing I won't see anyone for a good 4/5 months so I think that's plenty of time to lose the weight. I just need to stay focussed.

I will come back and update you guys as much as I can. Sad

@snapple21 awww no was it too many tablets for you???

@Kaybobx awww thanks it doesn't show anything "pregnancy" lol but it is more stable which make me feel better hahah
At least you got the 4 tablets down and today is your last round then you done hahah. Nearly there.

Kaybobx · 25/08/2020 22:17

@Snapple21 haha!! 4 for me tonight, i hate taking tablets

Kaybobx · 25/08/2020 22:16

@Welliedays as @candycrush2298 has said just try not to stress, i know its easier said than done but stress isn't good for the little bean. Miscarriages can happen at any point of pregnancy so until that baby is in your arms you'll worry, and to be honest even when they are out you'll worry some more.

@candycrush2298 loveeeee your chart!! Ekkk praying this is a good sign. Literally counting the days on my calendar for you lol.
