Lynn Burmeister Monash IVF-feedback wanted please #6

[Charlie74]

@Charlie74 the list @Phia posted is what you'd expect to pay as PHI doesn't affect IVF as Medicare gives you the rebate. What you need PHI for is the hospital admission for egg collection or transfer as PHI usually covers that or you just pay an excess. 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?

thanks @munchkin14 I have to admit I lost all interest when she said $500 a go and didn't ask for confirmation on timings after that...

@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.

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!

@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

Thank you @seasalt.
