TTC after 35

Box of meds

I don't know how to just do a picture in post, so I added this massive picture to my siggy. If anyone would like to educate me on this, it would be much appreciated!

If you ever wanted to know what $3,500.00 looks like, here it is! ?Whew! ?I hope I get lots of miles for this! ?Now we just wait for AF. ?Had a big temp drop this morning, so it should be stabbing time very soon!?

  • Happy Med Arrival Day!

    For $3,500....you should at least get some Godiva with it. :)

    Indy, I am hoping and praying that that little box is your answer.

    One day, I think you should let all of us tell your kid how loved s/he is, and how much  you went through to get him/her.

    I was actually hoping a newborn would pop out of the box, but Godiva would have been a nice gesture as well! ?And if you send me your email, I'll keep it handy for when little one is being a booger and needs to be set straight about how lucky he/she is by Aunt Joyful!?

    But, seriously, you are so kind! : )?

  • The apothecary shop is the title of the book you have there. And it looks like they sent you the entire apothecary. That is quite the haul.  I hope the injections aren't too painful. If you feel like you are going crazy just remember that is is all the hormones and we are here for you. Good luck, wishing you all the best.

  • Good luck, I remember how excited I was to get my drugs too. it looks like you have gonal-f, menapour, and ganerilex too. I did that the first time andnthen did MDF lupron which took out the ganerilex and added lupron shots. I am so excited for you! Did insurance cover any of it? I was fortunate all my meds for 7 IUI's, 3 medicated cycles, and IVf cost me under $200.00, I cannot complain.

    Best of luck to you, You have your cheering section and we know this will end with a BFP!!!

  • I just wanted to say that I wish the best to you! I think often of you and cannot wait to hear your good news soon!

  • Wowza! That's a lot drugs and some expensive stuff too.  I hope that investment pays off. And I hope your insurance covered some of that.

     I'm picking up my $600 worth of meds tomorrow. Kind of exciting.

    Wow, that's a little overwhelming! Wish I could educate you but I'm a little nervous with all the meds myself. From what I've heard, your nerves go away after your first day of shots and you become a little more confident with yourself.

    I also hope you get lots of miles. We put our IVF and meds on Amex and are using those points towards a nice vacation this fall.

    I just got this great vision of a teeny tiny baby Indy reading his/her email. :)

    I am going to try to send you my email address via a private message - but first I have to figure out how that works!
