I need to vent
My husband and I just switched to a new fertility doctor in April. We had the tests performed AGAIN. When I went in for my blood work I wasn’t given a paper that had the amount it would cost given to me before or after. I didn’t think twice about it because I knew I needed it done. Well the bill came in at $1400 and my husband was “caught off guard” and is upset that the clinic didn’t give me a quote before hand. I get that he would have liked to know the amount before hand but my point is that it would have cost the same no matter if I knew the cost or not. Was he going to say no to my blood work if he knew the cost? No. His blood work bill was approximately $150. But guys don’t get tested as much as women do including blood work. He keeps bringing it up and it really makes me upset. I’m angered even more because we got pregnant naturally and I feel like he is ungrateful about this pregnancy. (A) we’re saving thousands on

He should have called finance.) He’s mentioned going in in person to talk about it too. I’m so over the bill! I don’t get why he doesn’t understand that either way the cost would have been $1400. If you’re going to freak over $1400 now, how are we going to afford a kid? He says we will and it’s not about money. It’s about how the clinic handled it. He says I’m overreacting when he’s the one who keeps bringing it up. I’m tired of hearing about it and I think it was an overreaction to call the doctor directly about it. They are monitoring my levels and I’m so grateful because otherwise I’d be waiting until 8-12 weeks to make sure all is well. I wish he would see the bigger picture. We’ve struggled for 42 months to get one positive with two failed IUIs. We finally have it, just look at the bigger picture...
