VENT! Stupid, stupid pharmacy!!!

in Trouble TTC
Ok, so after I finished my night shift at 7am, I went straight to the clinic to get my beta done. I already knew what it was going to be. So when I was awoke to the dreaded "BFN" phone call at 2pm, I wasn't surprised. Since they want DH to take Arimidex for 3 months, I got ready and went to the pharmacy across the street from my house. I had them the prescription, and am told to wait about 10 minutes. 10 minutes later, a lady behind the counter calls me over and says that they can't fill the prescription right now because they need to confrim the medication is for my husband. I told her it was and his name is right there on the prescription. She then goes on and on about how they don't normally give this medication to men. I think she must have thought I was stupid, because she says "This medication is usually used for something else" and I responded by saying "Yes I know, it's a breast cancer drug" I explained he's supposed to take it to help increase his sperm count (Why was I explaining this the the pharmacy??). I refused to wait until tomorrow for them to figure this out so I took the prescription and went to the pharmacy that the clinic uses. When I got there, they couldn't put the prescription through because the other pharmacy hadn't cancelled the order yet, so I had to call the stupid pharmacy and tell them to cancel it so I can get the meds at this pharmacy. The pharmacist at the good pharmacy apologized to me and said pharmacies that don't deal with fertility clinics dont usually understand why these meds are being used this way.
Ugh ... At least I finally got the meds!

My insurance company just sent me a denial for my "Clomid and IVF" cycle. When my husband called them and said we were trying to get IUI covered, not IVF, the customer service manager said they were practically the same thing. Um, no! If I would have been talking to him, I would have stabbed him through the phone! (We're still in limbo, so I'm not sure what's going to happen.)
