The New Plan

The ultrasound showed no cysts in the ovaries, so we are starting a new treatment plan this cycle. Dr. Proctor said the injections were too risky with the last cycle producing too many follicles with the given 'low' dosage. He asked me what I wanted to do and I said it was really up to him. He looked at me and said, "IVF." I looked at him and said, "Not yet!" We can't afford it and I think I could get pregnant without exploring that option (crossing fingers). So, he prescribed five days of Letrozole (pill) and three days of injections (Bravelle and Menapur). I will see him next Thursday for an ultrasound and will go from there. Given the boxes of injections I picked up from the pharmacy this evening, it looks like it'll be way more than three days of injections. I paid $24.00 for all of my prescription, saving $970.00. My benefits are way awesome. Last month, we saved $3,000.00 in prescriptions alone.

Many have tried to talk me out of going through the treatments because they have seen how hard it is on my body, mind, and strength, but the joy and happiness I've experience as a mother is priceless. Watching Jeremiah as a dad is also amazing. I can't imagine how it would feel to watch Jacob be an older brother to his sibling...I hope I get pregnant this time.
