GROWING FRUSTRATION


I AM TOTALLY FRUSTRATED.

I am going to do the insemination in july and I am I was thinking about doing it in Atlanta because I am trying to switch jobs, but my two (YES TWO!!!!) medical coverages, definity health and blue cross blue shield will not cover anything!  No labs, ultrasound, medications... I know that it didn't cover inseminations but everthing is going to be paid out of my pocket. What also upset me is the FACT THAT VIAGRA IS COVERED UNDER MEDICAL INSURANCE.  WHY???????????????  That is not a medicine that is needed for your health.. pitiful.

I am going to start or join a fertility rights advocacy group and hopefully get some thing changed.

 Fertility and Adoption benefits need to be a normal part of medical coverage. PERIOD!!  I am not rich.. Thank God my doctor is "working" with us through a payment plan.  
I will have to pay 325.00 to start and then I have to leave with them two checks for 325.00 that will be deposited every thirty days.  Hopefully it will work the 1st time.. If I doesn't .. (the doc said that he wants to do 3 iui's and then start ivf - GOOD GOD.. I truly hope it doesn't get to that..) if not...this is how it is going to go..
