FET #2

We'll be having FET #2 on August 24th!

Four of our embryos are still frozen - 2 high quality and 2 mid-quality.

For the first two cycles, our doctor strongly recommended that we only transfer one embryo per try. This time she will let us transfer two if we decide, but we'd have to selectively reduce if both took. With transferring two there is a 50% chance that we'll get pregnant and if we do, there'd be a 33% chance of twins. We've decided that one embryo is the way to go for now.

I started my Lupron at some point in the recent past...it's all kinda blurring together at this point. Other than the Lupron, not much to report. I'll be starting estrogen patches and pills this weekend.

My insurance company took $7,000 (of my $15,000 lifetime infertility) for my surgery in February. My doctor has written them a letter asking them not to charge it to infertility, but I'm still waiting on their decision. UGH. If they don't give me that $ back, we'll only have $1,800 left for infertility. Luckily the FETs are fairly cheap - $1,500 medical cost I believe (and $1,500 for Rx, but we may still have coverage on that).

My husband will be working out of town through my progesterone, so I had planned to switch to Crinone (a vaginal progesterone gel), but insurance will not cover it unless I am already pregnant, and without coverage it'll be $900...compared to $20 for progesterone in oil for injection. I'm just gonna try giving myself the shots. I think I can do it! I've seen videos on youtube of people doing their own, so surely I can too! The hardest part will be checking the syringe for blood before injecting.

That's about that for now. Our next pregnancy test will be September 7th! Over a month away, but I'm getting excited already!
