Hello Katie!


I hope everything is okay with you!


So far NO side effects but it has only been 2 days (today will be 3, I have to do shots between 4:00pm and midnight..I do it at 4:00).


What sux is I am paying out of pocket for meds. I found out on Thursday, after I got my meds, that the nurse called in the wrong medication. The ironic thing is the wrong meds that were called is was actually covered by my insurance, the new meds cost

Hey Lisa!


I know I would be upset to, coming home to that. I will make sure you are in my prayers for this cycle. Men are worse then women in being unpredictable. I can't believe it cost that much. That is totally ridiculas.

Yes I don't have much longer to go. I feel ok, I still have morning sickness though, oh and I can hardley touch my feet now, but other then that I feel pretty good. I only have this last week to work and then I am done Sat. will be my last day. They asked me yesterday if I would reconsider and work every Sat until the end. Of course I polietly told them NO.


I always check on you everyday It is just my virus scan stops working for no reason and I immediately jump off because I don't want to destroy my computer.

Lisa - I totally feel your pain about the whole financial conversation!!! My husband and I have been round and round about that and it is so frustrating! What we ended up doing, which might be an option for you if you need another try (which I hope you won't) is that we went through a shared risk program called Integramed. You can look it up on the internet but basically you pay a lump sum of money in advance for three cycles of IVF and if you aren't successful you get 70% of your money back. Plus this program also has financing and loans available for all the joyous things that aren't covered like medications.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hi Katie,

You might want to check your Windows Firewall if your virus scanner is stopping unexpectedly. That's usually what causes the problem.

Let me know if you need help and I could walk you through it.
