Baseline appt.

I'm on top of the world!

HEY!

I had my baseline appointment last Thursday morning with my blood work and ultrasound. I wasn't nervous because I didn't think they could tell anything much, but I guess during the ultrasound Dr. Anderson could count up to 19 follicle that could possible produce an egg, and I haven't even started my shot (hormones yet!)
I was just so excited nothing else in my world felt like it could go wrong.

A few days later my pharmacy called me and informed me we have hit out maximum lifetime for infertility medication!!
I had no idea we were even close. After all our maximum is $15,000. So you can just imagine how much these drugs really cost!!!
There is a reason they call is fertility gold....because it cost more than gold itself!!

1st Ultrasound for this round

I went into my Dr.'s office this morning to get cleared to start another round, and by cleared I mean check out my uterus to make sure it looks pretty and I don't have any cyst growing (which is very common I've heard, but very scary).
Well, everything looks great and we decided to stay with the same routine. I go back in exactly a week to see how my follicles are growing. After the ultrasound I got my prescription and left to go get it filled.
The first time around when we got pregnant with Brinley we had no fertility insurance coverage, this time around it's awesome so I make sure that we are getting everything covered that we are suppose to. I ran into a problem picking up my clomid.....again...and had to get back on the phones with the prescription insurance company, apparently my clomid should be covered but isn't until my Dr. calls in to authorized the medication...so confusing, but sooo grateful and worth it! Now you can bet after this round of IUI's I'm going to be laying down and doing nothing as much as possible.
Thanks for the well good luck wishes!

ultrasound check up

I went in this morning (sep. 2) to have the Dr. do the ultra sound to check the lining of my uterus and make sure everything is okay to start the processes. They did an internal ultra sound and could measure everything they needed to know. So we went ahead and gave me a prescription for clomid (exactly what we did last time, because it resulted to a great pregnancy). Starting tonight I take clomid for 5 days, I then go back in a week and we have another ultrasound to see how the eggs are developing.
I hope I don't have any major side effect of the clomid, because last time I only had some hot flashes and that is a piece of cake compared to others.
