Getting antsy...meds are here but I can't take them!

At our consultation, the IVF nurse recommended that we order the medicine early in case there are any delays in shipment. I tended to agree since I've been hearing of other women having issues getting a hold of their Ganirelix and the last thing I wanted was to be finally ready to go but missing a medicine.

I placed the order and they arrived the next day in full while I was in Kentucky. Ironically enough, my inlaws had family over and here the fridge is stuffed with all sorts of stuff!!! At first the Cigna Home Delivery rep almost gave me a heart attack when scheduling the delivery. The lumped the entire shipment into one order although some of the medications need to be ordered at a pharmacy and not under our medical coverage so she tells me there is a $1,000 something copay and wanted to know if our Visa on file was the correct place to charge. I about flipped out until I asked her what the copay was for...that is when I realized they were for all the pills. PHEW!!! So...there's about $5,000 IF meds in the fridge right about now and another $1000 to be picked up from Walgreens for a total of like $20. Sweet deal :)

Here's my current stash minus the pills...

I'll start out with 3 shots a day...increase to 4 shots a day...decrease to just one and then go in for my removal. I'm trying not to think about it...one day at a time.

Speaking of one day at a time, I still have to get these migraines sorted out before I can start stabbing myself each night. Thankfully they had me get the MRI before my appointment so I did that two days ago. No big deal, I'm a pro at MRIs at this point of my life. I took a shot of my Lovenox beforehand though so I'd avoid getting a clot. I put all that information down on my information sheet but apparently no one read it. When they took out my IV after the MRI, I was pretty bleedy so the nurse says really excitedly, "Are you on blood thinners like baby asprin or something, you're really bleeding!!!". I just looked at her and was like, "Uh yeah, Lovenox...I have Factor V Leiden its on my sheet". So after that, she just taped the gauze extra tight and didn't say another word, haha.

Today is the 4th of July which means 9 more days until my neurologist appointment. I'm going to try to convince her (if she needs convincing) that I can start my stims now (after my baseline u/s and bloodwork of course which I would hope to do on Saturday the 14th) and if she puts me on preventative medication it'd have a full month to kick into my system by the time my migraines would come back anyways....so why delay the stims!!! Hopefully my plan works out the way I want it, because I'd like to be on stims that Saturday night so that my removal is before my birthday. Who wants to spend their birthday on bed rest right?!? 

Well...only time will tell. I'll update when I have more informations!
