So RE's office just called back re: when to start injects due to Easter and timing. Instead of how I'm used to (coming in on cd11 or12 on clomid or last time clomid and two injects of 75ui of Gonal F).
This time he wants me to start Gonal F tonight for three nights and come back in already on Monday. Ugh, this gonna cost us more this time I think because of at least one more monitoring appointment than usual.
Re: This IUI will cost us more, great.
That sucks I know exactly how you feel- we're OOP also. This cycle I was only expecting my two monitoring appointments, but my RE switched up the protocol on me with the Clomid stair-stepping so I had to go in on CD12 and CD19 for monitoring. Each monitoring appointment is $230 so it really adds up over the month. I just keep trying to think how all of this money we're paying will be worth it one day (hopefully soon!). Good luck with this cycle!!
