Feeling a tad better...?'s galore now

Ok so now that I have napped and my DH has tried his best to pep me up, I have a few questions. How long before I can do FET, How much does it cost...meds included? This is so weird, I feel kinda blind sided. I have gotten pregnant naturally 3 times so I was shocked that this didn't take. I mean deep down I think I knew but I feel so silly thinking this couldn't happen to me. DH and I are talking about trying again naturallly if we can't afford FET. I just don't know what to do. I can honestly say that this hurts as much as losing a pregnancy.
But, I do want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement. I have truly found another family and I am thankful for you all and am so convinced that none of us deserve this fate but will be made to appreciate all things in this life that much more for our struggles.

I think my fets were about 3000. That was awhile ago though.

The nice part about a FET is there are hardly any MEDS!!

MUCH easier on your body.

I am glad you are feeling a little better, even though I know how much it still hurts...and sucks.

You said it best...it will make you appreciate even more so when it does happen. Keep the faith. I'm new to IVF but I do believe it is cheaper to do a FET and the meds are too. Big Hug!!

My RE is also about 2400-3400 for a FET. Good luck hun!

Glad you are feeling at least a little (or a lot) better after your nap.

Your DH sounds very supportive, which is awesome!

I don't know how much an FET will cost, but I will probably be incorporating mine with a fresh cycle in another month or two... Best wishes to you Meghan!

Glad ot hear that your dh is try to help you feel better. My fet is running me about 4000 + meds which actually somehow my ins paid so that cost me $0. W/ my fresh cycle I paid for all my ivf meds and this time w/ my fet nothing. But I was told that it was only a couple hundred $. There were 2 antibiotics, estrogen, medrol and the pio.

My doctor said about $1900. But, so far he has over quoted us on everything... so it may be less.

My FET is $3300 and meds are another $600-800 (?). I have Lovenox added to my med list and that is extra. Some insurance companyies will pay for it though.
So sorry to hear about your cycle

With so many losses has your RE already run the immune testing panel on you? I have a gf who had 6 natural pg losses, did a ton of testing and ended up adding Lovenox and IVIg to her natural cycles and is now chasing around two little ones under the age of four. She was considering IVF with the PGD and tried the other route first. All of her losses were around weeks 7 and 8 also.
I wish I could give you a big hug! IF stinks and I wish I could take away your pain right now. It took me MANY years, m/c and failed cycles but with strength (I pulled out from who knows where), I kept going and it paid off. You will get there too.
