Today I went and picked up over $4k worth of drugs that are not covered by insurance for the IVF cycle starting in December. The giant bag of drugs scares me more than the financial cost of doing this. I'm concerned about risking my health mostly. The side effects can be extremely uncomfortable and rarely, but not SO rare at 2%, have ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome which can be life threatening although treatable.
I'll add more later since we have a performance of Zombie Prom tonight. Finding the IVF support group on Facebook has been helpful.
Why does this feel like a competition? One of my Facebook acquaintances just announced on line that she is having twins. Its so hard to be happy for her and not just plain mad.
I begin taking Follistim and Menopur injections next Friday.
