I'm anxious to get this IVF process rolling. Tomorrow starts the first morning of my Lupron injections. I went to the pharmacy today to get it filled (I know cutting it close, I forgot) and I asked to have them just fill that one. I figured my insurance wouldn't cover it and I wanted to do mail order for the rest. My clinic told me that mail order tends to be less expensive if you are paying cash. Well, my insurance covered the Lupron. So I had them check a couple more on the list and they covered those as well!!
This made me feel so good! This entire process obviously costs a TON of money and it is nice to know that my insurance company isn't going to completely screw me!
My Mom and her Husband were more than willing to give us the loan for the next month until we close on our house. When we went to our RN consultation on Thursday and got to the payment park J. asked if there was any chance we could pay the balance any later than that day. She said the latest she could take payment was the 30th. We called our credit card company and if we make a purchase on the 30th it won't be due until August 15th - that is perfect for us. We will have closed on both houses and have the money available to pay off the credit card. This made J. feel a lot better. He really didn't like asking my parents for money. I don't blame him, he really prides himself on doing well on his own all these years.
Things seem to be looking up in the baby making department.

I'm starting Lupron today also.
that is awesome, i had to go through mail order to get my lurpron covered, it was almost $600/month at the pharmacy where i work, and that was the cost price! good luck with this round!

Glad you were able to work out the funding for your IVF. Money stresses on top of infertility stresses are the worst!
ReplyDeleteOoh Lupron! I'll be starting in a few months and "Loopy Lupron" is all new to me, so I'll definately be following along to see how it all goes!

Great news on all fronts! I hope that is the start of many good things in your IVF cycle.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck starting your Lupron injections. I never minded Lupron that much, Clomid was much more loopy for me. I hope it is that way for you too.
Take care!!
