My Belated Christmas Present December 28, 2005

Santa showed up at my doorstep today. (Ok, maybe it was the Fedex guy, but he sure looked like Santa to me.) Yep, I got my big box o’ meds delivered today.

I remember feeling overwhelmed when I got my box of drugs for my first cycle. Now it’s just fun. So many vials and needles and bottles to unpack and organize. I can’t get enough of that. (Yes, I know, I’m an addict. How else could I be embarking on cycle #6?)

Of course it wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun if I had been seeing dollar signs as I pulled out my meds. Sure enough, our new insurance came through. After paying for all meds, procedures, and everything else in the past, this sure is a nice treat. Too bad they don’t pay for the actual IVF. I’ll definitely take what I can get, though. I feel beyond grateful to have the coverage I have.

So, now I just have to hope that my body gets the idea to get the show on the road. Seeing the big stack of Gonal-F pens every time I open the fridge should help, I would think.

I’m glad you have a good attitude about it. Can’t say the needles give me the thrills, but I can tolerate them as long as its not the dreaded PIO.

I’m so hoping this one works for you and that next Christmas we both have real live actual babies in our arms as we unwrap presents.

Good luck Amanda. I changed the name of my blog from No-Show Embryo. I’ve been too busy to post though. I am on lupron waiting to start stims in the next 4-5 days. I wish you the best of luck in this coming cycle. May 2006 bring all your heart’s desires.

My big box o drugs came last week. It was my first so I did freak out. Good to know it gets better…if that’s a good thing? Hope this one works for you.
