Before I ever even made the phone call to Dr. Ahlering's office I received an e-mail from him detailing what tests he wants to do on both me and Charles!
1) DNA Frag testing with MSA and SCSA on Charles' swimmers. {Not sure what those stand for but whatever}. I later found out that the facility that does this testing does not accept insurance. They are cash or check, only! WOW! It is like $500 for this!!!
2) NKA testing for me. {It's Natural Killer something, maybe Antibodies?} Again, the facility that does this test does not accept insurance. Cash or check only. It's $305!
Yes. We're looking at $805 in CASH that we may be able to be reimbursed on if we submit to insurance. Not something we'll be doing for at least a few months...
3) Do a Hysteroscopy to check out my uterus. {This will be pending the results from the 4 & 5}
4) Antral Follicle Count to be done on Wednesday, December 23!
5) Sonohysterogram also to be done on Wednesday, December 23!
6) Traditional Cycle Day 3 blood work {which will actually be done on Cycle Day 4 but was told that is perfectly fine} along with an infectious diseases panel... That's a new one! haha!
So I'm excited but hate we'll have to wait on the blood work until after Christmas. Oh well. At least I'll immediately know the results of the other two! :-)
So based on these results, Dr. A will recommend either more IUIs or moving onto IVF... Big stuff!!!!!!!
