I know it's a few months out, but this week we received notice that we are in the April cycle at BAMC! Is anyone else part of April? This is our first attempt at IVF, so I'm a newbie & totally clueless. We were told last month the waiting period would be another year due to organizational...

I'm just getting all my tests ready for April at Walter Reed. I'm looking for buddies planning on that cycle. I am traveling from Pittsburgh. Maybe find another friend to share costs on a hotel/car pool/ hang out during cycle. My husband will just come down for required days. I am active duty...

I need help dealing with ES. My RE faxed my Rx twice and so for they only sent me one medication instead of 3. When i called ES for the 7 time they said the med is on backorder.

My husband had a reversal 2 years ago after our child was born. She was a premie and we made a rash decision. We want to get it reversed. I know Tricare does not pay for this to happen. I heard that Portsmouth Naval did them in the past, then stopped. Does anybody have any new information on this?...

What are the waiting lists like for the MTFs that do IVF?

Hi Ladies, I am new to this board but it was recommended by a friend. I've already been through one IVF cycle at WR in January (unsuccessful) and I am going again in April. Is there anyone else going to be in the April cycle there? Last time my husband was able to get TAD to be with me but not...

Moving from Alaska to Mississippi in the fall and am looking for a place to do my FETs. According to the SART website there are clinics in Jackson, Baton Rouge, Mobile & Birmingham. Has anyone been to any of these locations? I know there are some older posts on here about Keesler but since they...

Hello Ladies, I currently live in Alaska and had IVF done at Seattle Reproductive Medicine last month. BFN : ( We still have 7 frozen embies and we just found out that we'll be moving to Mississippi this fall. I may do one FET @ SRM before we leave but we'll still have enough embies to ship....

Hello Ladies, Has anyone gone to a private IVF facility due to issues at the military treatment facilities? i.e. wait lists, low success rates, costs, horrible bedside manner... I am wondering if there are some private facilities that will compete with the pricing and give a military discount...

I just found out today that my husband is going to delpoy in 5 weeks with a new unit that needed him. We are on the list for IUI at Balboa but he is going to be gone by the time we are called. SO my question is can we do frozen sperm at that MTF and who are they contracted too? Or do we use a...
