Okay, maybe I shouldn't be so negative to practically plan that I won't get pregnant, but in August we will have been ttc #2 for a year. What should I do if it hits that point? Who do I call? I think my insurance covers SOME infertility, but I don't know how much. I THINK I would have to see my OB and then be referred to an RE. But frankly, if it doesn't cover it I am in trouble. Dh and I are both still in school and there is no way we can afford a lot of fertility stuff. All I think we could afford at this point would be perhaps would be to investigate things like thyroid, hormones or endo. Anyway, please tell me what you have done, or how I should go about it if it gets to that point. I am so lost and want to be pregnant SO badly! I really hope it doesn't take me that long.

I am so sorry that you are going threw this. I also went threw a lot in trying to get my BFP. On my cycle 12 I had gone to the Dr ( my reg OB) to check my progesterone level and it came back at 7.9 (CD21 chekcup) that told him that I was not ovulating a mature egg so he gave me clomid the insurance did not cover it but it was only $26 So that was on Cycle 14 that I took the clomid and that month I got my BFP. It was a lot of going to the DR but I got it all done threw my OB and all I had to pay was a co-payment.

So my advice to you is talk to your OB and tell him what you are going threw and see if maybe he can help you.

My gyno started with just tons of bloob tests - thyroid, Progesterone, FSH, anything and everything. Just take baby steps from there depending on the outcome of the tests. It's a long process, but worth it in the end if you get that BFP!

I also started with my OB and had blood tests and then DH had a semen analysis and I had an HSG. I had to pay only co-payments except for DH SA was about 100 dollars. I will be starting Clomid to help my low progesterone and irregular, long cycles. I had to pay only 10 dollars co-pay for my Clomid Rx.

Good luck! Hopefully your insurance pays for more than you think.

Oh sweetie, I really hope it doesn't take that long. I will have a year TTC in August as well. (wait, I'm not sure now) Yeah, August. I'm also worried, and I hope we can both get what we want/deserve before the 1 year mark. good luck.
