More DRAMA.

I am still having drama with Kaiser. I am not sure what is going to happen but we will see. For everyone who has left comments Thank you for your support. I couldn't get through this without this blog and all of you reading it.

I will try be updating all of you again tomorrow night about if I will be actually getting the HSG or not.

Tonight I am just not dealing well. I feel so alone in all of this. It is pathetic because I know I have all of you in bloger land but I feel so disconnected to R and my life. Some days are just too hard.

Drama

I am still having drama with insurance, and may have to end up canceling our HSG this cycle. If I do then Friday I will be crying all day. Here is the issue:

We have Kaiser for insurance and NOTHING is covered under IF. I have been able to "sneak" things in such as the SA and blood work under insurance but we knew the HSG would be out of pocket. My OB went ahead and told me to get the HSG. They wrote the scrip into the computer and told me to call Kaiser's radiology for the appt. Well all of you know from pp that Kaiser wanted to rip us a new one and charge DOUBLE the going price of an HSG. So I made an appt with an outside Kaiser radiology department. They said I would need to bring in a copy of the script for the HSG for the appt.

However Kaiser doesn't normally do written scripts so I didn't have a copy of the original. After three calls to the OB I found out since I am not going to a Kaiser RE and I want someone else (ie not Kaiser) to perform the HSG the OB who was on call won't write me one. So I have put in another call to MY OB and pray he is on call in the next two days to see if he will write me the script. He is normally really good about things like this so I am praying he will do this for me.

I should hear back by tomorrow night about the HSG. I am praying for good news but expecting the worst. After all it is Kaiser. For you non-Kaiser people THIS is why they are the most hated insurance company on earth!

HSG for the 'right price'

I got a call back today from our clinic and asked about who they recomind for the HSG. They said they had a place about 40 miles away but for 1/2 the price. I got the name and number and sure enough, they just ask for 500 cash! Cash is FINE by me! WooooHoooo for saving 550 dollars! They also said that once it and the S-HSG is done I should do my consult visit! So we are on schedual and moving right along.

I have been eating fairly well this week and staying right on track, however, yesterday I pulled a mucle doing a workout video. :( That means taking the exercise part easy this weekend.
