If you can pay cash for your D&C, do. If you don't, you will receive a credit-card-bill-shaped reminder of events three and a half weeks after your loss.
I keep getting individual bills from everyone involved in the process, and it's been more than 4 months - the surgical facility, the anesthesiologist, the OB, the pathologists...
*de-lurking* If your insurance is anything like mine was, I kept getting bills (reminders) for 6 months because the insurance wasn't paying their part. I'm so sorry. I know the reminders are so painful.
Boo! There should be some type of coding that makes them send the bill right away so you don't have to be reminded of such a horrible experience. Stupid, insensitive crapheads!
Here's a tip, get out of any websites and stuff that you signed up for or you will get flyers, boxes of formula, magazines and even phone calls even MONTHS after your due date. I just got one, "Now that your little one is 3 months old." UGH!
I really wish this post hadn't made me laugh. After my D&C last fall, I informed my husband that he would be checking the mail for a while, for exactly that reason. I think he thought I was crazy, but he did it (particularly since he pays the bills anyway).
That's why I paid cash for my first cycle. I didn't want to see anything on a bill after I got my BFN. This time, we had to pay for the meds by credit card.
Really hoping *that* doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.

Crap !
I am waiting for my unused pessaries bill. :(
Just when you think you're better, a freaking reminder comes along.
I'll keep that tip in mind.
Both books on its way to Singapore tomorrow. So expect it in your mail within the week. Sorry it took me so long.
The most benign things blindside us in this crappy thing called infertility.
I'm sorry.
A good reminder -- but one that I wish you, of all people, didn't have to give us.
*hug*
...sigh...let's hope you don't have to ever use your own tip.
Shit - sorry you learned this lesson the hard way.

I'm sorry, Bea. I hope the reminders stop soon.

Ugh, I'm sorry. That ALWAYS happens to me. Would you believe just recently I got the last of the m/c bills from LAST YEAR? Yes.
I'm sorry yours came and wasn't intercepted by your hubby or something.
Always thinking of you.
crap - haven't seen the bill for my blood tests yet...
hope you're doing ok. have a great weekend!
Gotta love those, NOT!
It doesn't help though , does it, sorry for you :(
HUGS
Oh yes, bills with no goods to show for them.
I'm so sorry, sweetie.

That just stinks.

What a cruel, awful reminder.
If I had to have a D&C here in Canada, it would be covered by our government health plan without a bill to be seen.
I am sorry, for all of this, not just the credit card bill.
