IVF Meds

 My meds arrived yesterday.  It was almost like Chrismas as I tore open the boxes and checked my list to make sure it was all there...Of course my favorite item was the bubble wrap, saving that for a very boring day.

Last month I was given an estimate of 2800 dollars.  When I called in the order on the 27th I was given 400 dollars in discounts.  Then the day before they arrived I got a call that if I signed up with new life agency (a 25 dollar enrollment fee) I would get 200 dollars off(100 for every 1000) my order and a 25

dollar gift certificate to walgreens pharmacy. So of course I signed up and in the end spent 2200 dollars on my meds.  I couldn't be happier because I need a new bed.  Mine has been giving me back issues so I can't wait to go shopping.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and an even better New Year!

IVF Class and Calendar

My clinic nurse called me Friday and told me to stop taking the pill.  She doesn't want me taking it for 2 months without having a period.  So I should be getting AF within a day or 2.  She also stated that I would be getting My calendar in the mail and received it on Saturday.  She also said that she didn't have the hubs labs which is funny because I just paid the bill.


Our IVF injection class is this Wednesday and will not be ordering the medications until 12/27.


According to my calendar my last pill and my first labs will be January 2nd.  Jan 7th I will start the Follistim and or Low dose HCG. January 18th is the possible retrieval day and Jan 23rd is the possible transfer day.  If there is no 5 day transfer then all embryos are frozen until the following cycle...Hopefully that doesn't happen as it would be an additional 3000 dollars to transfer the following cycle. Thinking about it now if I had paid for the 3x option, this would have been included in that price. Just hoping that we have a 5 day transfer.  Then the pregnancy test will be around February 1st.


Considering taking a Test the morning of but not sure yet. I don't know if I want to get the bad news from the clinic or deal with it on my own first...but I am also thinking that I don't want to jinx it by taking it on my own first...thoughts?

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is the inspection of the uterine cavity by endoscopy with access through the cervix. It allows for the diagnosis of intrauterine pathology and serves as a method for surgical intervention (operative hysteroscopy).

I had mine today....UGH is all I have to say.  Just glad it is over now.  It was uncomfortable, a little painful but worth it.  The results came out great.  My uterus, and openings of my tubes were perfect as quoted by my doctor.  I even got to see it on the screen.  It starts out somewhat like a pap smear or HSG but apparently my cervix opening is very small and he had a little difficulty getting everything in there....once he was in the worst part was him moving the scope around to get the pictures....overall the procedure lasted about 3 minutes and it was all over.  Several hours after I am still cramping but I am in a very good mood.

Tomorrow I will make my Anesthesia Pmt, and call my nurse to make sure everything is all done and then I will order my medications for January's IVF.
