[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP LIVID here.  I don't know how long you've been reading this forum but I sort of became "famous" on this forum because I chose to terminate my anencephalic pregnancy and later had to deal with the procedure not being covered because I am a federal employee.  You can do a search of LIVID on this forum if you are interested.  I don't know if you are a fed insured through the FEHB, but if you are, please know that the procedure is not covered at all.  If you are privately insured, more than likely, you are covered.

I am so sorry you are going through this.  I wish you only the best and hope that you can find some peace with your decision.  I don't wish this situation on anyone.

I know PP in DC does terminations through 21 weeks  I've met the doctor there and know that he has the experience as well as the compassion required.  He went back for extra training specifically so that he could perform second trimester terminations.  He felt this was the best way he could help women.

I'm sorry you have to put up with some of the posts on this forum.  I know how painful it is.[/quote]

OP here. I don't know how to thank you ladies for all the supportive and informative posts! I truly appreciate it. 
LIVID, I actually saw your name when I was searching to gather some information on this issue in this forum. I am so sorry that you had to go through this and hope that you have recovered well. It is comforting to know that if decided to go to PP, I will be in good hands. If I was in my first trimester, I would not have been worried so much. The fact that I am 19 weeks along, makes me wonder how they are gonna open the cervix in a couple of hours while pretty much every where else I  have contacted say that the procedure at this stage is at least two days. In any case, I think I am more comfortable with one day procedure as I can not emotionally handle sitting in a hotel room waiting for the luminaries to expand. And as you mentioned I am a fed employee and the insurance does not cover it. I already figured this much out. [/quote]
