And I didn't even have to ask for it! I was SHOCKED. I saw the new RE today (my first choice RE due to a friend's recommendation) and although he was kinda weird and VERY fast, I think I'm going to stick with him because he had a plan all written out for me ahead of time and it includes Femara instead of Clomid, and then Lovenox once I'm pg again (along with a bunch of other stuff we've already been doing). I'm still shocked I didn't have to ask for the Lovenox, and that he didn't say no like the other 4 Dr's I've seen since my MTHFR diagnosis. He's not giving it to me for the MTHFR either, but simply because I've had more than one m/c. He said "it won't hurt (at the 30mg/day dose) and it might be just what you need, so I like to give it."
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!
Now if only this wasn't so flippin' expensive...
I do have one descent looking follie right now (don't know the measurement), and he was going to give me a progesterone shot to trigger a new cycle but I decided to wait. My cervix is super high and soft, and I have tons of EWCM right now so I want to wait a few days. I plan to start Prometrium by next week if my chart and OPK's don't indicate O.
Happy (almost) New Year everyone!! :-D
Re: Found a Dr who will give me Lovenox!!
hhhheeeeyyy!! I was thinking about you the other day and wondering where you were!!
I'm happy for you! It sounds like you finally found a man with a plan and a good one from the sounds of it. Good luck!
Happy New year!
Haha, BOTH! Actually the Lovenox may be covered if I get it specially approved by him, we'll just have to see. And if not maybe I can convince him to give me Heparin instead. But the IF procedures are what I was mostly talking about...it's going to be ~$600 for today's visit alone (20 minute consult and 3 minute u/s). And Femara is $160/month instead of $7 for clomid! Yikes! Oh well...it had better work FAST!! My insurance doesn't cover anything IF related...

Well Abby, I'm glad you found a RE you are happy with!! Sucks about the cost though. Hopefully you will just need one cycle
Are you doing anything fun for tonight?? I asked DH about the fiesta block party.. his response "All it is is a bunch of people getting stoned and into fights. Plus, I dont want to walk a mile and a half from our car to the entrance" So I am gonna take that as a NO!
Thank you for your reply on PgAL
I might have to do some shopping today! Hehehe
Hey! I'm hoping we'll just need one cycle too! I've heard great things about Femara, especially for PCOS patients (and not just on this board but from a couple of IRL friends too).
DH and I aren't the partying type at all, we'll just be spending the night at our best friend's house playing our Wii and hanging out around our portable fire "pit" (x-mas presents, yay!). It's becoming tradition to spend NYE with them, this is the 3rd year in a row...hehe.
Have fun shopping!! Pink or blue, I can't wait until I have a legitimate excuse to go shopping for cute baby stuff!! And enjoy your night with DH! :-)
