  Congrats on your impending delivery from Jolly Old St. Prick (because of the needles - get it?) 

  Alright, that was an awful joke.  Sorry.  

  
  

  GL, fellow human pin cushion!  Start clearing out space in the fridge for your meds.  I would start with any chocolate cake that might be taking up valuable fridge-shelf real estate.

  Well, no need for pictures quite yet.  Apparently the amount of Gonal F and Menopur that the RE ordered are outside my plan limitations.  It's going to be roughly $3k out of pocket... so back to the saving.

  I am so sorry to hear this.  The IF roller coaster strikes again - You're up high one minute, and the next, your falling to the bottom of a hill, screaming all the way down.  (Well, I scream when I'm frustrated - You can also be stoically silent if that's you).

  
  

  ((Hugs))

  I hope you don't need to wait too long before you can begin to cycle.
