More Tests.....

Well we made the 180 mile (round trip) travel for another SA and more tests. The urologist wanted Mike to have 1 more round of tests done just to make sure that we are actually dealing with the results that we first got. Which I guess I'm ok with...but the $$$ aspect of it kinda sucks. We got the insurance statement yesterday for the first round of bloodwork and SA and office visit and it was well over $400. He meets with him next week for the results-but we aren't expecting anything different-nor is the urologist. Since the urologist believes that the damage was done when he was so young (around 2) he really doesn't feel that he will be able to reverse anything or do anything for us. So we are starting to deal with that-and actually having that finalization in a sense or at least a feeling of finalization is making things a bit easier. Granted next week maybe we'll get some drasitically different news-but we really aren't expecting it.
On the way home today we started talking about baby names. It was kinda fun-we haven't really let ourselves do that for awhile. So agreed on a few....but of course they will change-cause they always do. :)

Erin is your Ins covering it?

Also if the results are the same as last time will you still have the appt next week since it's such a long drive?

Our insurance covered some...before insusurance it was about $900 and some...but they aren't covering as much of the lab work as we were thinking-but we're gonna call them and figure out why.

The appt next week will be here in town thankfully. So no drive. :) We just had to go out of town for the lab work cause the lab here won't do SA. Gotta love small town clinics :)

Definately call insurance, these tests are technically diagnostic and not fertility treatments so they should cover the tests at least. Sorry it was such a long ride.

You and DH are in my prayers.
