Over the past 3 days - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - I've opened my mailbox to find the following bills:
NW Reproductive: $177.37
NW Reproductive: $435.00
Dynacare Laboratories: $114.00
Dynacare Laboratories: $193.75
Nothing like coming home from a hard day at work only to find bills waiting for you. Hard to believe these costs are ABOVE and BEYOND the 5-figure lump sum we've already paid.
You go in and they tell you that they need to do a "Gram Stain-C" test or a "Anti-Mullerian Hormone" screen and they take blood or they do the procedure and 4 seconds later it is done. You never get an estimate beforehand since it really isn't a discussion whether or not you'll do the test. You only find out weeks later when you get the bill in the mail what it all costs.
The financial burden of this process is sometimes difficult for me to comprehend and accept. But it becomes more and more real as I get used to handing over the credit card to pay the piles of bills. I've always believed money doesn't buy happiness, but I can't but feel we're trying to buy our baby...
