Quick Update

I went in for an ultrasound yestserday (day 7). She saw a few small follicles on the right side - she didn't say anything about the left, so I am assuming not much going on. She said they wanted to run bloodwork to test my estrogen levels and then based on that, they would determine if we needed to adjust the dosage on my Follistim. They called and said that I should up the dosage to 125mg for the next two days and then come back and see them on Friday. Sounds like a good plan, EXCEPT, husband and I are going on a mini vacation, leaving tonight! I told her and she seemed a little put off - almost like I obviously don't want a baby very much if I can't even come in for my appointments. (I guess I am supposed to give up my life and just sit home and focus on having a baby!) I was waiting for her to tell me that we'd have to cancel the rest of the cycle, but instead she said, ok, well, then we will see you tomorrow. I was like, really, i was just there today and you want me to come back tomorrow. Yes. Ok. Luckily, i was already planning on taking today off to start my vacation early. Oh yeah, and I also had to order more Follistim as I am unsure how much more he is going to have me use over the weekend, and since it gets FedExed to my house, I had to get it today BEFORE we went out of town. There goes another $250! I don't know if I have talked about it yet, but this is my first "paying" cycle as all of my clomid cycles at my OB managed to fly under the radar of insurance and all of my initial stuff on the RE was for Recurring Pregnancy Loss so also covered by the insurance. Well, man oh man, hello bill. With medication and monitoring, I am looking at just over $1000 for this cycle. Sure hope I get pregnant! I can see why people resort to IVF quickly at these fertility prices. If I am going to pay over $1000 for a cycle, why not $15,000 for IVF, higher odds at success I am sure!
