If you don't have PHI you'll have to pay full private hospital rates - I don't know what that'd be

Thanks Phia!

Thanks also @munchkin14! I've actually done a couple of cycles with Monash before so I know the costs of the day bed & anaesthetist fees- I just don't have the most recent cycle costs since they last went up- so the info posted is really helpful

.. I wonder why they even bother stipulating prices with / without PHI when it doesn't affect the actual cycle costs?

@emski72 I had intralipids this week and it only cost me $34... the hospital admission was covered by my private health insurance!

That's great to hear @munchkin14. Lynn wasn't doing these when I had DD. This time she didn't seem that keen but said I could do it if I wanted. She also said I might as well just eat a mars bar! I had egg pick up on Thurs and got 19 eggs with 13 mature and 8 fertilized. A much better result than my last so I'm feeling hopeful 😀

Oh well it wasn't explained very well then...I got my bfp anyway so hopefully it will stick.

Hi everyone
I had a baby girl on 20th January at 36 +1weeks was induced due to bubs being very small. All is well and we are home and happy snd healthy! @munchkin from memory i had a few scans but not as many as you would for a stim cycle i also got my egg put in later in the cycle i think it was like day 20 something! Hope this helps!

Congratulations! That's wonderful news! Hope
You're enjoying the early days despite the sleep deprivation which can be a killer. Sending you best wishes - so glad she's happy and healthy!

The rollercoaster starts again for us this month. Day 21 bloods this thursday to see if ovulated...then its down reg after. Trying for bub #2. Hope it doesn't take us another 5 years +

@MND good luck!

I'm waiting for AF so I can get going with a FET - excited to get to this point but terrified of it failing
