Home SA test
So my doctor wants me to chart for the next 2 cycles, and if I'm not pg she is going to start looking into things. I asked about a home test since insurance won't cover it, and she said it could be a good idea to help know how important an official one would be. Looking them up there seems to be two types. One that's kinda like a hpt. One or 2 lines, pass or fail. One has a microscope, and info to get an idea of count, motility, and concentration. $40 for the first-$80 for the second. I don't want to spend a lot, but I am also afraid of spending less, and not getting an answer. (i read the cheaper one can be hard to read -like a hpt) Any one have any experience with these??
Thanks for the info ladies! I'm going to see how dh feels about it. If he'd rather have a "trial run" privately at home, or if he is fine going straight to the office. Usually everything at the doctor's is so pricey I was thinking it would be hundreds of dollars.
Insurance didn't cover our SA. It cost around $100-125, out of pocket. We got the results the very next day. I didn't think the price was too bad, considering what we pay for everything else, plus you don't have to guess about the accuracy of the results. We live in Edmond, OK.
Wow, dh's was $283 at our REs office. no insurance
