Hematologist Follow-Up

I had my hematologist follow-up today. The appt went good. He said almost all of my blood work came back normal and I'm a healthy normal 26 year old. He said only one test was off and it was the Lipoprotein (a) test. Normal is less than 30 and mine was 68. I had to give more blood today so that they could retest it to make sure. He said the results would not change any of his plans. His plans are instead of waiting for a confirmed pregnancy he wants me to start Lovenox when I start stims to give it time to get in and work since my chemicals happen so early on in the pregnancy. I will be on 40mg shots to the belly everyday. He wants me to stop 24 hours before ER and start back up 24 hours after. Thats because it is a blood thinner and he don't want me bleeding too much in the surgery. He said as soon as I get a confirmed pregnancy to make an appointment because they would want to monitor my levels. So thats that....

Oh yeah, he did say he's not to keen on the baby aspirin thing either. He said its a bit controversy about if it even does any good for the women to be on it and to be on it as early as they put women on it. He brought it up, I didn't....so I was just listening. He said he is stilling waiting on my urine results to come back to see if I really need to be on baby aspirin, but he highly doubts that he will put me on it.

He also said there is a new study out comparing success and BMI and that the numbers are staggering. He said evidently being obese does effect your success rates.....

So now I have to call the insurance company and fuss with them tomorrow. I went to drop my prescription off and they told me $134 for a months supply. When I looked it up on Aetna website before going it said $40. So something is not adding up. Don't get me wrong I am very thankful that I'm not paying the $1030 which is the full price for a months supply. But I also don't want to be overpaying if insurance should be covering more. Especially since I will have to be on it for 9 months!

Emailed the conversation to my RE and he wants me to stop Lovenox 48 hours before ER and start it back 36 hours after ER, instead of the 24 hours the Hematologist said. He also said since I'll be on Lovenox for such an extended period that he wants me to add Caltrate in twice a day. Not sure when he wants me to start this, so I'll ask at my appointment on Monday.
