Maribeth,
Thanks!
You know every case is different and things are constantly changing. We were lucky and I was able to do a lot of stuff in Beaumont. I did have to go to Webster when my appointments fell on a weekend. For us that was only a couple of times. The ER and ET have to be done in Webster. Since we had to be there so early we stayed in a hotel both times. Keep that in mind as an added expense. Sometimes Dr. Schnell will require you to stay after the procedure, but that is determined by how everything went. You will also get your study drugs from Webster, so plan on that trip. I was told yesterday that the rest of my appointments will be in Webster since they entail needing an OB ultrasound. In the end the cost is no where near what we would have to pay outside of a study. We’ve done IUI in the past and that cost us more than what we’ve spent so far. When you do have to go over make the best of it. I try to make a point to go to some of my favorite stores and do a little shopping for myself before I head home. I hope I have answered your questions and this helps. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Good Luck!
Amber
