RE Today - New Plan

[happyktmom]

We have decided not to move forward with IUI just yet - DH has a point and wants to give it a go at home first when we are guaranteed to have our timing right.  Today is my CD4, so I went into talk to my wonderful and fabulous RE.  Do you all get hugs when you go too or is that just me?  I just love them because they aren't schmoozy.  I had my baseline US and she said something about left ovary resting, right ovary resting, blah blah blah 3.9 - looks great!  No cysts. 

I just took my first 2 (totalling 100mg) of Clomid ever!  I say that because we almost did it a few years ago when TTC#1 and didn't need it and I've already done Femara and it didn't do anything but give me wonky cycles.  So, I do Clomid for 5 days - go in for US in 7 days - get my trigger injection and progesterone and go home and go for it! 

I like this plan, I'm confident with this plan.  It's not crazy expensive because our insurance doesn't cover anything attached to the word INFERTILITY.  I paid out $675 today to cover both ultrasound and RE visits.  My Clomid was $18.  I can't wait (sarcastic) to see how much the trigger injection will be.  I did progesterone before so they may pay for some of it.  I'm awaiting my phone call from the mail order pharmacy now. 

Is it possible - 2 hours after Clomid, I'm already having hot flashes?  I'm a nurse - I could/should look this up! HA!

I like the plan because I totally understand your DH. Mine thinks the same way. I love my RE too, she is all hugs with a lot of caring and understanding. My insurance runs from anything dealing with infertility so I will be paying out of pocket for ultrasounds and visits. Good luck and I am rooting for you!!!!!!

I hope that this is your path to success! I'm glad to hear your optimism. GL!

Just got off the phone with the pharmacy and wanted to report these costs in case any of you who haven't gone this route wanted to know out of pocket expenses. The Progesterone is $3 a pill and I was dispensed 15. The Pregnyl was $68 for a total of $113. Sounds great to me!! I was expecting a lot more for some reason!

Good luck happyktmom! That's always nice to get a little good news in terms of costs too. I hope this path is successful.

Good luck! Glad everyone is on board. (My RE likes to hug but I'm not a hugger so he said he wouldn't hug me anymore lol)

I'm glad you have such a solid and inexpensive (by fertility treatment standards) plan. FX this is just what you guys need.

TMI *** First time on Clomid, finished yesterday and today I have a lot of discharge - or one unusual gush of Creamy CM. So weird! I don't go in until Monday to check follicle size and if big enough, proceed with Pregnyl Trigger shot. I think we'll start BDing tonight - what do you all think? What if I O before Monday? I don't want to miss an opportunity and figure it won't hurt anything!

Just coming in to say I'm happy you have a plan and I have my FX for you!
