Femara Friends!

[s08]

I am done venting. Lol. So ladies I have a question. Where do you draw the line with TTC? I know if you are like me I don't have $13,000 I can pull out my a$$ lol.

AFM: I think we will do 2 more cycles, and then consider IVF end of this year since I have found a reasonable price that is under $6000 for military. That's where I am drawing the line for us, anyone else care to share?

What a good question! This may sound weird, but I'm not sure there is a line for us. IUI and IVF are not covered by our insurance, but I think we're willing to pay quite a bit out of pocket. It pains us greatly to do so, but it is what it is I guess. Of course, I say that now, without having gone through the arduous IVF process. If we have to do IVF (which we'll probably start in April if necessary) we're actually talking about buying the multiple IVF package. Its a little more expensive, but you have more opportunities for success. We do love to buy in bulk at Costco!

As for adoption, we want to exhaust every treatment option first. That probably sounds so selfish to many, I realize, but we have our reasons. It's a long story.

Mrs Stinski - so your follies grew from small to trigger size in 4 days?! Do you know how small they were on cd16?

On CD 12 I had three on the right that were 8mm and 1 on the left that was 10mm. On CD 16 I only had 2 on the right, one 9mm and one 14mm and the left had gone to 14mm. Since they still werent big enough to trigger he gave me 5 more days of Femara and on CD 20 I had two on the right, one was still only 9m and the other was 18 I believe and the one on the left was 21mm so he went ahead and gave me the trigger. He also mentioned that he thought the one on the right that was smaller may have already released because it seemed flat or something like that.

ms shortie- wow i shoulda called around. walgreens charged me $92 for 10 pills of 2.5 and that was with their ripoff card

For what ever reason, my prescriptions are covered and i pay $3 for metformin and $10 for 10 letrozole pills. if it was $92 i would have stuck with clomid because that was $33

 

[Ms. Shortie]

@drsquid & Lola. I found that walgreens was the most expensive. I thing albertson was half the price. Nothing beat Costco though. I think since letrozole is also for breast cancer they must have them by the tons.

@Ms. Stinski. Thanks for sharing. There is still hope! My MA said that once they hit 10mm they should keep growing so I hope at least 1 will make it.

Chiles - and away you go! FX that this is your month!

I like the positive attitude! I'm going to adopt it too. It will be AMAZING when we are all pregnant and have a baby in 2012!

Here's my update:
CD 21
9dpiui #3

I'm 10pd trigger (Ovidrel 250 mcg pre-filled syringe), so I'm not sure when I'm going to start testing. I meant to test it out, but was trying to be somewhat sane in the TWW. Now I'm regretting not doing it.

 

[Charisse28]

I'm CD4 today and starting Femara tomorrow, good luck and babydust to all!

Thanks Siblings, your scan will be soon after mine right...

 

[Cridge]

flybaby - how many mg's did you take this month? Hopefully you'll respond really well and get your + opt soon! I didn't respond to 2.5, 5, and 7.5mg. Ovulated on day 14 with my first cycle of 10mg, but then didn't respond to 10mg the next cycle until I added in 2 more days of 12.5mg. Ovulated on CD21 that cycle.

 

[Shareena]

I had my IUI today morning with two mature follicles. Now the dreading TWW starts.
