Next Chapter: Injectibles.

Hey Folks! I'm back from a mini break of blogging and I must report that absolutely nothing has changed. Who am I kidding though? Did I really think that after my laparscopy surgery that I would immediately get preggers? Well, I really was hoping that was going to be the case with all of my fingers and toes crossed so tightly. I ain't gonna lie. I was dreaming.... but one could hope right?

Yesterday we met with our nurse coordinator. She was a pleasant lady who's been an RN for a little over 40 years. Not sure how long she's been in the infertility biznatch, but I'll ask next time I see her. Her plan is to put me on the following: 

225 IU of Gonal F for 3 days, then drop to 150 IU Q daily
Ovidrel 250 mcg


We couldn't believe the cost of the prescriptions. My insurance, while I'm greatly appreciative that they cover 50% of infertility diagnostics and medications, I must say, we are still having to pay a moderately hefty price for one cycle. The medication alone is going to be $1,500 and the procedures will roughly be around $842 bringing the grand total to $2,342. Woooooooooah, baby! (no pun intended).


But, we keep telling ourselves that it's all going to be worth it. The joking side of me says, " this baby better not be no meth head, though. Sorry, I just can't help but say that. It's funny, right? 


I'm kinda bummed that with this fertility cycle, I have to lead a life as if I'm actually preggers which I really don't get because people that live a normal life get pregnant and come out fine. They are wanting to restrict me from heavy duty exercise which means, no more spin classes, bikram yoga, or running on the treadmill. Oh yeah, no more ibuprofen, motrin, advil which are my saving graces most of the times and no more raw fish. WTH guys???


Stupid list.
