I'm back again! But nervous!

sherd

DH and I just found out Sunday evening that we are pg again and due June 14th. This is our 5th pg and have a DS that will be 2 this month. Our OB wants to place me on prometrium starting asap but the pharmacy wants almost $400 a month for the prescription and our insurance wont cover it until we have met our deductible. We can't afford that! Usually I am spotting by now and/or starting to mc but other than a bit of small spotting over the weekend, I haven't experienced any cramping or spotting/bleeding since. We have decided that this is our last shot at another little one so this is a bit nerve racking. If you could please send your thoughts a prayers for a H&H 9 months it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Congrats!  Also you should ask your ob for the generic of prometrium, just called progesterone.  I'm sure its much cheaper.  Good luck and h&h 9 months!

Congrats!  Wishing you a H&H 9 months. 

I agree with PP, ask for generic or an alternative.  There are other progesterone options that may be cheaper (or covered by your insurance).

Eesh!  How high is your deductible?  Congrats and hope this all works out for you!

Congratulations!

I agree that it might be worth looking into a generic form of progesterone.  Also, when I was put on Crinone, my OB mentioned that she had a bunch of samples she could give me.  Maybe your OB's office has some that might help defray the cost?  

ETA: Some pharmaceutical companies offer coupons with discounts off of the cost of a prescription.  That might be something else to look into.

Maybe you could just buy a natural progesteron cream that cost like 50 for a trimester worth. I used one this time and baby boy is doing great. The cream I used was a over the counter natural cream for menopausal woman. Worked wonders for me. And congrats on the new pregnancy.

Ask for the progesterone and you can also ask for a weeks worth vs. the whole month. You'll still probably pay OOP but it would be cheaper right at this very moment.

Thanks guys. The deductible is pretty high and we are required to cover all costs until we have met it :-( The generic cost only $100 less so we still aren't able to afford it at the moment. I am trying my best to remain calm for the LO and not to get too stressed out.

I would at least talk to your ob about the natural cream that is over the counter please. I know a prescription make you feel better but the cream is just as good and a heck of a lot cheaper. Please don't discount it just because you didn't get a script for it.

Congrats and welcome!! Definitely call the pharmacy and your doctor to figure out the cheapest progesterone for you!!
