Update on my arm from the horrible blood draw.... Yep it still hurts, I still get shooting pains, my hand still goes numb from time to time, I can barley hold my purse on my forearm without loosing strength. And the best part its on my right arm which is my dominate one! Yaay me!
We had our regroup with the doctor to discuss the grades of our 9 embryos and decide how many we will transfer when that time comes. There were 6 of the embryos that had grown out enough with a good rating to be frozen at the day 5. The other 3 weren't quite ready to be frozen yet so they grew those out for another day. Those 3 ended up getting pretty close to the other 6 which could result in pregnancy but they usually try those at last resort since they did take extra time to get to the freeze stage. We decided that since we had 6 embryos that were a good/great rating that when we are ready for transfer we would only transfer one, to limit the chances for multiples and hopefully result in a healthy pregnancy. I also discussed my arm issue and was told that it will get better it will just take some time.
The Business office sent the fees associated with doing a FET as well as an example calendar to get us an idea on how the cycle work. I was pretty upset when I looked at the fee schedule because these fees were never disclosed. We were forced into an FET because of the way my body reacted to the medication doses. So in every conversation we had with the doctor or nurse nothing about having additional fees was talked about. So I was pretty upset that we would have to now pay $5945.00 to have this transfer done.
I got an additional medication list to do more price shopping. I found that the additional meds were going to cost........$1,430.00.
We were told that a typical calendar for an FET is about 2-2.5 months long. Clearly everyone is different and again no cycle can start without having your period first. So again we will do some more waiting.
