... I guess that's why they call them bad.
Today my husband and I had our injection class and set the dates for transfer. Right away there was a problem. I have an unepected business trip at the end of the month that inteferes with a very necessary Dr.'s appointment So we had to push back the lupron 2 more weeks...as if I haven't waited long enough.... Then only get the class for the lupron and as you know it isn't really anything you need a class for so my husband missed a day of work for nothing. Then we go to pick up some meds and find out the grand total of them all is over 4,000.00 A cost for some reason we had not forseen. i mean I knew the meds would be costly but wow. So I freaked out and thought I was not going to be able to do the IVF at all. I am still a little rattled but I think we have found a way to make it work. I mean when does it end? I just want a baby. What is so hard about that!!? Why must we be plagued with IF and then sell our souls to round up money. Just one of those self pity days I guess. I just would hate fort his to slip away when I am soooo close. Thanks for listening ladies. Sorry to drag on.

Have you checked around for the meds? I've used 2 different pharmacies that have free shipping. One pharmacy even drove it down something that day because they made an error... they are over 2 hours from my house one way. I liked using that pharmacy because I could drive and pick something up if I had to. The other one was out of state.

Anyway, they are fast. Depending on your meds, one pharmacy will offer a better price than another one.

I'm sorry about the delay. It's so hard to time everything.

I am so sorry, I've been through those days..... It will get better, and , even though it seems like the end of the world now, two weeks is not that big of deal, your baby will be here before you know it.....

Hang in there!! It does get better, I promise.

Yeah meds are very pricey and it sucks that not all insurances cover IF treatments.

Yup, the road is bumpy and it s*cks but it does get better. Deep breaths:-)

((HUGS)) to you!! IF sucks all the way around. If you haevn't already picked up your meds, please check around some more. I used Schraffs (affiliated thru Walgreens) for my meds & they were REALLY a good price (let me know if you want their number or anything). That's where the RE suggested we go thru. If you sign up for their GOLD membership ($12) you get free shipping (& they fill all drugs not just IF drugs). Hang in there & you'll be holding your sweet baby in your arm soon!!

I think we can all relate Meghan. This whole process sucks... as if not being able to have a baby naturally wasn't bad enough, we have to pay boatloads of cash to boot. Sometimes I felt like I should've just backed up a truck full of money to my RE's office and dumped it on their doorstep.

Hang in there

... it's so worth it in the end. PS -- I had a chromosomal issue with my eggs. Did you and DH do genetic testing?

Hang on! I know it's ridiculously hard to wait all the time. Once you get started though the time will fly by. And when you are pregnant those will be some of the fastest months of your life. And money spent will just be a memory.
