Ask for Everything

All of our medication came in. It's crazy how they send this stuff and how they give it to you. Our house is starting to look like a pharmacy. Pill bottles and syringes and sharps containers Its amazing!

We saw our RE last week, we have not been there in a Month. M had her blood drawn and they did an ultrasound and we forked over this cycles payment. UGGG.. it will all be worth it I know !
We started doing the Gonal F injections on Saturday in the evening. The Dr advised us to use the side of M's thigh towards the rear? I thought this a lil odd .. but she said its better for absorption. Its a subcutaneous injection so I suppose between the two muscle is a fatty area? Damn I should go back to school and get my RN or Phlebotomy Lic.

We went to L.A. to hang with My mom for mothers day
(a real quick trip) so we loaded up the cooler with ice packs and the medication. It needs to be refrigerated.

I was also very adamant about getting what samples and kick backs I could from our Dr. Our Prenatals are RX by the Dr and super expensive so I asked for samples. I also wrote to the company of the prenatal and they told me our Dr should have a discount card. I mentioned it and they kinda just looked at me and then gave us the card.

M is a quieter type and will just go with flow and does not like to be pushy. I say EFF that We are paying a crap load and were doing most of the leg work. SO MY WORDS OF WISDOM... ASK FOR EVERYTHING! I notice while the nurse was looking for the samples to give us in the giant cabinet that has everything there were 3 Boxes of Follistim Pens and Crinone gel (if there is a next time I will take advantage of that stuff for sure)

SO friends again .. DONT BE SHY! ASK and TAKE !

so yay for us we are on our 3rd try and feel great about it and just as excited as try 1 and 2 !!!
