Hard day. . .

I was doing so well emotionally these past few weeks. I went back to my acupuncturist because she really helped regulate my cycles after coming birth control. I told her my whole story cause I haven't seen her since November and then I got home and called my doctors office about them billing me for a copay for the visit when I was told I was miscarrying. I was bugged by the bill, not because of the money (it's only $15) but because they had said prenatal visits never have a copay. I was still pregnant, the baby was just dead

. I guess they didn't see it that way, plus I only talked to the midwife for about 5 mins. The guy I talked to on the phone was totally weird and unsympathetic, it really sent me over the edge and now I am like reliving the whole experience and can't stop crying. I should have just left it alone and paid the stupid bill without complaining. I'm so sad and my DH doesn't understand what is wrong with me.

Hugs I am so very sorry. Depending on how your doctor's office bills it depends on if it's covered. Mine all have been because they billed it as prenatal care I believe. I'm sorry your having to deal with this on top of your loss. *hugs*

I have had to pay a co pay for all mine too

Now when ever I am pregnant I have to pay a cop pay for all my visits until they do the full paper work appointment and each miscarriage i have they keep pushing that further out. Next time I will probably have co pays until about 12 weeks.

Getting a bill like that really hurts. I don't have insurance and last September I had a cervical ectopic pregnancy which required me to be hospitalized overnight and I had a D&C. The bill was $25,000.00. I was able to get help with paying it but just seeing the bill and having to deal with it was just another stupid reminder that I lost my baby.

My DH never knew what I went through. He just knows it hurt him to see me so sad.

My m/c is going to end up costing me several hundred dollars out of pocket. I just got the first bill this week for all of my labwork, and it came to almost $200. It's hard to swallow for sure, when you don't get a baby out of the deal!
