TTC and Beyond!

CHW- usually generic are cheaper, so insurance has you pay less for generic. Hope thats true for you.

Morgan- I will look at the link at lunch and let you know!

So, my insurance company will not cover Zofran AT ALL until I try TWO other medications. I knew this would happen. They said they sent me in a script for Reglan, but after looking this med up online I can honestly say that I don't think i'd EVER take it. The side effects are serious and horrible ( I know they are probably rare, but I don't want to take a chance) So, I called and left a message for the woman at my OB office and asked what the other choice was because I did not feel comfortable with that drug at all. I have no idea if it's a situation where I HAVE to try one pill over the other, but if that's the case, i'll pay full price for the zofran.

This is ridiculous.

That totally sucks britt, I'm sorry!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Does it ever, Kara!!! Everyone pregnant woman on this site seems to take it, and no one ever seems to mention having any problems getting it. I did not expect this. I'm sure the insurance company doesn't care about the awful side effects of Reglan, just that they are saving money. UGH

What a bunch of bologna!!! Maybe phenergan? It's suuuuper natural and I hear it works.. haha give two of them a quick try and tell the doc nothing seems to be working!!!

Wow Britt, I don't understand why they are doing that...especially if Sonia has the same insurance and got her's covered with no problems. It just doesn't make sense.

My pills are generic, but the swollow kind. I didn't even know there was a dissolvable option...

Ashlee-My uterus is sore pretty much all the time. The way you described the pain is a lot how I describe how my uterus feels, like I worked out and it's sore now. Between the sore uterus and pulling my round ligaments...I'm always in pain! lol My mom laughed at me last night bc I told her I don't know if I should clench my stomach or my vagina everytime I sneeze...I either risk pulling a round ligament or peeing a little lol That being said, I wouldn't worry unless it sticks around and/or gets worse. Usually they say to drink some water, eat, rest...if it doesn't get better then get it checked out. I think you're good

Waves-That's weird. Have you called your doc office just to see what they think? That's probably what I would do, explain everything you just told us.

Rachel-LOL to the not wanting the baby to suck your boob off...I am nervous about that bc I HATE my nipples being touched. Not sure how that is going to work out lol

I get 6-8 weeks of maternity leave. I have to use sick time, but I'm pretty sure I won't have any from taking off sick and doc apts. My std pays so much for vag birth and then a little more for c-section since you have to take off longer. I need to call and see what they will cover if I have to go on bedrest...
I am thinking if I haven't had the babies by spring break (end of March), I may just not come back after that...I'll be so miserable I'm sure. Then I will have the summer off since I'm a teacher, so I'll have 4 months at home with them. I'm excited for that!

 

[morganwhite7]

HAHAHA Julie on the "peeing yourself a bit" topic- just you wait, it has only begun!!! Haha it is so awful, the further you progress the harder it is.. I used to just cross my legs every time I coughed or sneezed or I was doomed.. Lol anyone can say EW all they want but you will see!! I read that after vaginal births it's 10x worse lol... KEGELS LADIES!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Thanks ladies- They did prescribe me Phenegran, and i've taken it before for non pregnancy related things and it worked really well. Only thing is it's a class C pregnancy drug instead of a B. Should this concern me?

 

[TTCaWee1]

Britt. See how much the zofran tablets will cost. Odt zofran is much more expensive. You can call a pharmacy and ask. I'd call walmart or target since they are pretty cheap. We don't write for odt zofran bc it's so pricey. I think phenergan works well but it has a sedative effect so I personally would be hesitant to take it. But that's just me. I've always passed out cold after taking phenergan.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Rachel- Thanks! Here is my dilemna.. my ORIGINAL prescription for Zofran was for 30 tablets. When the insurance denied it, my hubby paid for 9 out of his own pocket. If I wanted to persue this, would I need a NEW prescription? Also, the script was sent directly to my pharmacy. I have no paperwork. How would I switch it to target or walmart now?

Sorry to seem stupid, I just have no knowledge of how it works, and my pharmacy people are REALLY RUDE.

 

[Disneybaby26]

I think you'd need to call your doc for a new script and have them send it over again. Unfortunately, the cash paid for the original is probably gone. But hey, at least it helped!

Morgan-What did your doc ok for constipation? I can only eat so many prunes lol

 

[morganwhite7]

He said sodium docusate 100mg (general stool softener) daily for normal constipation. Laxatives if its bad. And magnesium citrate if it's AWFUL. Lol hope that helps

Thanks Julie, helps to know I'm not the only one. It friggin hurts! Fortunately it doesn't stay that way. I can't imagine how much worse it must be for you having twins LOL at clenching your stomach or vagina when you sneeze I think I can wait for that part lol

 

[TTCaWee1]

Britt you can go and get the rest of what was originally written but if it's odt, then you need a new script for the tablets. You could also see if there's a price difference for 4 mg tabs vs 8 mg.

Waves-That's weird. Have you called your doc office just to see what they think? That's probably what I would do, explain everything you just told us.

I haven't. I went to bed and figured I'd see how I felt today. Still crampy but no BH that I recall. I thought I looked a little bigger this morning and I also Googled "period cramps at 23 weeks" and found TONS of women who experienced the same thing and their doctors all said it's normal so I figure she's just going through a growth spurt.

Had to satisfy my caving for sushi with some shrimp tempura rolls tonight. All fully cooked so nice and safe and even forced myself to eat some of the ginger to help my tummy feel a little better. I hope hope hope that my morning sickness goes away soon. If it's not starting to feel better by my apt next Friday I'm giving in and asking for the zofran

 

[jury3]

Ashlee-I've done the same thing...I only eat rolls where everything is cooked. I've only done it twice. It's just so hard to resist! I've avoided soda, diet soda, bagels and lox...and I have an aversion to sweets thanks to the bad taste I get in my mouth...I don't think cooked sushi is too bad!

Morgan-Thanks! I bought some...now the waiting game lol
