My favorite aunt is here!

Welcome Aunt Flo!  Come on in and make yourself comfortable.  For the first time in a year, there is no saracasm or anger in that welcome.  So glad to see her!

I am stoked to have this new cycle underway.  I called my RE's office this morning and have my baseline appointment tomorrow morning at 9:00.  I never thought I'd be so excited to have a date with the dildo-cam and a couple of needles.  Oh, the things we do for our (unborn) children.

Something not so stoke-worthy....I picked up all of my meds earlier today.  I walked out of the pharmacy $461 later with two Follistim 300 iu cartridges, 1 HCG trigger and 30 progesterone capsules in tow.  I knew what the total was going to be, but I didn't realize how little 300 iu is.  I mean, Mr. MBC can spit and have more liquid than the Follistim vial. 

Here's hoping that I'll find my baby carriage sooner rather than later!

  1. Here for ICLW - ouch on that $461. They should prescribe a painkiller along with the other meds! :) Hope the baby carriage follows soon!

  5. I often get frustrated just knowing that the money spent on IF could pay for my future child's college education!!!

  9. Congrats on the visit from AF! It's funny how her arrival brings such different emotions depending on where we are at. Yes, the amount of actual medication is really pathetic when you see that bill! Best of luck with your cycle!

  10. Hope that this is your last big pharmacy bill. I posted some money saving tips recently on my blog post- "stretching the infertility dollar" which might be useful. Here from ICLW (#112). Best wishes for a quick positive result!
