I am back now, I had to take a mental break. The doctor came up with a plan for lots of injectible meds, as I thought he would. The combination of medications would be chlomid, menapur, ovidrel and progesterone. Three of those are shots...yay! (Not). But, we will not be able to start on all of this until December or maybe January. This procedure wil cost double what the IUI with chlomid and ovidrel alone did. The kicker is the menapur. That medication is $1100 by itself! I find it so crazy that to have a child, we are having to spend so much money. Lately Jenn and I have been looking for new jobs, and what I am basing my search on is the benefits (namely, the fertility benefits). The financial advisor at our doctor's office told us that there are two companies locally that only pay $25 (copay) for an IVF cycle. I will give you minute to process that information...
$25 for a $20,000 procedure is worth taking a pay cut for sure. I have been looking at positions within these companies, and they are all out of my area of expertise, but I would take a secretary, or admin position for just about any price to get those benefits. Hopefull they will be hiring for those positions after the Holidays, wish me luck!
Meanwhile, I am trying to get lost in the Holiday spirit and not think about the fact that there is no baby to be seen yet. I just finished my period yesterday, so we have about a month or so before we need to have the funds available. Maybe Santa will bring us the dough... here is hoping (fingers crossed).
Love,
Christy
