Default Military/tricare IVF

I was wondering if anyone has had IVF through the military clinics that offer it and if so what was your experience?

Also my RE has exhausted clomid and provera and I was wondering what other infertility treatments tricare will cover (injectables, iui, ect)

I also just seen that tricare approved the lap band. I am interested in getting it once DH and I pcs but I am worried that tricare will take forever.

Any info would be great!

I can definately help you out with Tricare. Tricare will cover everything except and IUI or IVF, they will pay for all of your Dr. visits and injectables. The only sad thing is once you decide to do an IUI or IVF you will lose all of your fertility coverage from that point on. If you have any other questions please let me know. I have asked it all!

I just wanted to see if your doctor has tried letrozole (pill)--made me O much better than Clomid, or ovarian drilling (often covered as 'medical' for PCOS)?

I think the letrozole would at least be worth a try if they would pay. Or you could look up alternative threads about soy.

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.
