Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Relief

August 21, 2008 — 8:20 am

I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW I COULD SHRIEK!! I called BC/BS and confirmed that my employer’s plan number does cover infertility services including IVF/GIFT/ZIFT, no limits. I am so relieved I could seriously faint right now. I’ve been so damn scared that I got this job and was moving along nicely and was going to be told in 3 months, “Oh, that? No, we don’t cover that. We fall under this rule where…” And then I was going to run crying out the door. It wouldn’t be pretty. So this? THIS? So freakin’ relieved.

IVF is definitely on for Nov/Dec… Nov 16 is when my insurance kicks in. I could be pregnant early in the new year. I may start crying.

    That is the best news you’ve received in quite awhile. I am sure that takes a small load off of your chest. The “no limits” part is wonderful too. If anyone deserves free IVF, it’s you.

  8. Lyanna says:

    Did you say ‘no limits’? As in, if this one fails you can try again and again and again if needs be?

    That’s fantastic news!

    I found your blog a little bit ago, and need to say how much I am sorry for your loss.

  12. Nat says:

    Lyanna – That’s what she said, no limits. But the document states, like 8 cycles. I think that should be sufficient for another two kids!

    We’ve discussed it. We’re both on the same page that it’s not our choice, especially knowing we can get pregnant and carry. We’re not willing to give that up right now.
