The rest of my meds finally came today!! It was a BIG box.
I ripped it open to find this...
Well I should say most of this. Some of it did come lat week. It wasn't as much as I thought it would be, still enough to make me go a little crazy but not bad.
Also I did my first Lupron shot last night. (Actually DH gave it to me.) It wasn't bad at all. I could barely feel the needle. The medication did sting a bit. But all in all a very good experience. I sat there afterwards and thought, "ok, I can do this." Not that I was going to chicken out now. I am so excited to get this ball rolling. It has been 5.5 years in the making.
Oh and my grand total for meds, $291.73!! That is with paying full-price for the Lupron. I cannot tell you what a blessing it is to have something covered. Now I will have to write two very big checks in the coming weeks, one to the RE and one to the hospital, but somehow I am not as worried. It is all going to be just fine. I can feel it!
It's great to hear that your first shot went smoothly. Hooray for DH!

I am so glad that the shot wasn't bad :) Also, that is awesome about the med cost- most of ours have been covered so far, and I know that is a huge blessing!! Many prayers for a successful ivf for you!
ReplyDeleteThat is a giant box! Glad to hear the lupron shot wasn't so bad :).
ReplyDeleteWow! That is definitely a big box!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that the first shot wasn't too bad. Here's hoping all the others are just as easy.
Woohoo for starting - I love getting all of the drugs :)
ReplyDeletei had done PIO last cycle, but this cycle they switched me to the Crinone. i guess Brigham and Woman's Hospital in Boston just finished a 5 year study on Crinone vs. PIO and found no difference in success rates, so they figure the PIO isn't worth pain in the ass, (pun intended)
ReplyDeletegood luck!
Yay! The med photo! It's exciting and frightening at the same time, isn't it? I hope all goes well...I, too, felt so happy when our insurance actually helped with the medicine. I hope everything goes smoothly! Take care!
