We went to the clinic, did not need to see Dr. P. Husband just needed to read the consent form, to sign why are we freezing the sperm. (ticked) the for back up plan of IUI treatment.
Next - CASHIER.. or based on her business card, Patient Liason Officer... On the 2nd of November, she said freezing of sperm is RM350, IF, sperm is good. So we didn't want to pay upfront just in case, sperm isn't good, why pay in advance? So she said it's okay we can wait till the results come in and pay later..
So that's why we're here today.. to pay the RM350.
But... She explained.. we have 5 tubes, and each IUI treatment only uses 1 tube, so we have additional 4 tubes.. to FREEZE it for a year it will cost us RM1350!!! I think my blood pressure just shot up. And i thought to myself.. WHAT IF, its a big fat positive, i don't need to freeze it for a year, but anyway, we can freeze it up to five years maximum, and each year will cost us RM1000.
Then.. we thought about it.. like in that few seconds, husband said........ can we just pay RM350 first to freeze, and after the treatment, we see what's the result, and decide if we want to continue freezing it or we might not need it etc etc.. She's nice enough to allow us to wait till December to give her a decision if we want to continue freezing it..
Anyway, I'm not sure if my 'sperm bank' is willing to give us sperm for free for as long as we need them. : P
