Needles and cents
A girl always loves to shop. Don't we? How about shopping for $4500 worth of meds you'll have to inject in yourself. How about shopping for meds to inject in yourself and then driving across the border to the States to get them. Thank goodness my friend Brenda lives 5 minutes across the border and is helping me and that my job takes me to that region of the province anyways. We save $400 in the end so it all worked out well. For you CCRMers, Gonal-f is a steal at Freedom, while Menopur and Pregnyl is a steal at Alexanders. I will be getting the pill, antibiotics and copious syringes and needles at my local pharmacy. I talked to my nurse today and we're on track for the end of March (remember, I only leave my eggs and go home in March. Possible pregnancy will not be until summer when I return for the good embryos) I have two tests left: my physical exam and TSH (thyroid). Once those two things are done, I pick up my egg-growing meds in the States and I'm locked and loaded!....never a dull moment in the journey to find little Diiorios.

So you got your meds in the States Iveta? Is that normally how its done? This sounds so complicated - scares me a little!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteI'm exciting you're moving forward with this!
Thanks for getting back to me and posting on my blog Iveta! I'll definitely be in touch once we start the process with CCRM. Your blogs have been so helpful - keep writing!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to follow along! Also glad to read you are going ahead with CCS...AND it was SOO nice to meet you today IRL. Such a treat!! Take care!
ReplyDeleteIveta, did you already buy the Gonal F? If not, let me know...I've got some for you that would be my pleasure to give you (we'll just have to figure out how to get it to you). Lisa knows how to reach me via PM.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are getting things figured out! : ) Yay!
