Back on the Fertility Train

Well, we've started again. We had a lovely two month break and now we are going for the big guns....or big eggs! Today was the first day of our next process, injectible medications. A three day supply (and I will need a 14 day supply) was $942.00, I almost passed out in the pharmacy when magically the pharmacist said "oh, you're "double covered" {???} your cost is $5.42! Being double covered (which I finally figured means that my insurance AND Mike's insurance covers the cost but since there is only one person receiving treatment then both insurance's cover the whole cost instead of me paying for half), saved us 935.00 in meds today and 127.00 in ultrasound costs. So, thank goodness for insurance or today's appointments would have been over $1000.00.
Now, as I sit here avoiding my homework and writing in this blog instead I am dreading that needle that I need to inject into myself before bed tonight.
On Halloween I had a couple girlfriends here and one of them did Tarot Readings (or Hocus Pocus as Mike calls it), we thought it would be fun to do on a spooky, rainy Halloween night. My reading was all about letting go - and even though it was a funny Halloween thing to do, I can't help but think that there could be some truth to letting go of all the stress, worry and obsession that comes with fertility and just doing it and then letting it go. So.....here we go again.
Thanks for reading!
Becky and Mike
