Show and Tell

If you are new to Show and Tell, go see the Stirrup Queen herself for instructions.

We are quickly approaching IVF #3 and picked up my drugs on Saturday.

Cost to me: $129.74

Cost to Insurance: probably a few thousand

What these drugs are worth to me if this IVF Works: PRICELESS!!!!!!

Here is to hoping that the 3rd time really is a charm.

On a side note, totally unrelated to Show and Tell - I needed a little retail therapy and some sinus medicine, so I headed to Target tonight. On my way home, this song came on the radio by Eric Church called 2 Pink Lines. The gist of the song is that these 2 18 year old kids are scared the chic is pregnant. They eventually find out she isn't and they are so relieved. I don't like to be that bitter bitch, but, are you fucking kidding me? This idiot actually convinced a girl to marry him on 1/8/08. I wonder if he'll ever have to regret this stupid song and embark on an infertility journey of his own. Jack ass.

I am so beyond jealous of your insurance. I can't tell from the pic what size of gonal-f pens you have, but can tell you that the cost is $717 for 1-900IU pen. You better believe we extract every last drop of that stuff. (-; The Lupron is around $199.

So glad you are getting started soon!!

That's so awesome that your insurance gives you IVF coverage! I can only dream... If it makes you feel any better, my pile of drugs was probably double yours my last cycle.

Nice insurance! What a blessing. I must admit, I'm a bit envious. But I do truly hope that this IVF is the magic trick you need. The best of luck to you.

BTW, I heard that song for the first time tonight and had to stop myself from spitting at the screen. I still feel a slight tightness in my chest just thinking about it. Ugh.
