Injectables

Yes, moving forward. We received a call from the grievance department from our DELIGHTFUL health insurance. They now tell us it will be 30 days for our grievance to be filed and decided. Then my wife's says to the woman on the phone,
"I DON'T HAVE 30 DAYS ... I AM ABOUT TO BLEED"
and I finish the statement off quietly with BITCH. M has been on Birth control pills for almost the entire month and we were supposed to trick her system in to giving her a second period but since the medication/insurance process became so lengthy she really did not need the birth control pills and well WOAH can you say PMS. She usually gets cramps and a little agitation but this is full on FULL METAL JACKET mood swings. okay, that may be my perspective ... but i have never seen her like THIS before.

So, we decide to forgo trying to have our DELIGHTFUL insurance co cover the medication for this cycle. We paid out of pocket (DONT EVEN ASK ITS A LOT). medication was ordered. M called just about every fertility pharmacy to determine who has what prices and who is the best price ... I was proud as it was just like a (enter my last name if you know it) way. SO all of her meds are coming from different pharmacies.



We received a knock at the door and low and behold its our FEDEX driver who happens to be a Lesbian ( M thinks so) and she gives us the box with all our INJECTABLES inside. I love the word injectable... everything is on ice and it came with its own sharp container. I was impressed. My dad has injections he needs and he did not even get a container but I guess if your paying (insert large amount here ... No a little higher than that) then you deserve a sharp container.




We are getting ready to start as soon as M hits Cycle Day 3, which should be any day now as she took her last birth control pill on Monday and well her own body is ready according to her and her PMS. Hopefully third time is a charm cuz were ready to get this baby started!

I will also add I am excited to giver her these injectables. I am a bit sad they come in pen form and are pretty much self contained. Originally the medication would have been in a vial with a syringe that I would have to draw up ( you know I love medical stuff) I guess the pen will have to suffice!

I don't know what the side effects are or what kind of hormonal change will occur. I do know that M's PMS tends to be of the hellacious kind and I do not wish that on anyone. WOAH ... WATCH OUT !

  1. How exciting!

    Incidentally, the pharmacy (i.e.CVS) can order you a larger sharps container. The one y'all have is too small and won't hold much. Trust me. ;)

    And good luck...I'll be anxiously waiting!
