Getting My Butt In Gear January 5, 2005

So, I’m scheduled to start shooting up again in less than a week, but guess what? I have yet to get my drugs. It’s kind of funny in contrast to my first cycle where I got all of my meds way ahead of time and had them set up and organized in the pantry way before my first injection. This time, not so much. I guess I really should get on that.

I actually have ordered my stims. I just ordered them from IVFMeds and have been impressed with them so far. I love the fact that I didn’t have to actually speak to a single person in the entire ordering process. You can submit an order on their website and just upload a scanned version of your Rx. Fantastic. We’ll see how long it takes for them to get here. So, between having gotten lucky in the donated drug department and ordering the rest of my stims from jolly old England, we’re gonna save a bunch this cycle. That’s a very good thing since one day’s worth of stims this time around will average almost $300.

Now I have to get my Lupron and various other sundries. I purposely didn’t order my PIO from IVFMeds, because I don’t care how much it would have saved me, I’m not giving up my double dosed PIO. No siree. I really need to focus on obtaining that darn “evil in a bottle” crap since it’s first up to bat. I shall get on that ASAP.

I guess if I get truly desperate I can always dig into my stash of vials left in the fridge that should have met the trash a long time ago. I know that Lupron and Gonal-F do not stay good indefinitely, but I still have my leftovers from both cycles sitting in the refrigerator. I just can’t bring myself to throw them out. Same thing with my sharps containers. I’ve filled two and half sharps containers but have yet to bring them to my RE’s office. I just can’t get rid of the darn things.

Anyway, I’m sure I’ll get all of my meds in time, but it’s quite interesting to see how my attitude about all of this has changed from cycle to cycle. Fun stuff.
