Cycle Day 2

Yesterday was CD1 of our first IUI cycle.  We got all of our meds in the mail 2 days ago.  I got 10 Clomid pills to take days 3-7.  I got a prefilled syringe of Ovirdel, and I got 60 suppositories of Progesterone.  Somewhere on the information for the progesterone it said “helping you get pregnant and stay pregnant.”  Sounds good to me, sign me up for this wonder drug.  All added up our drugs cost over $400.  With the Clomid being the cheapest at $29. and the Progesterone being the most expensive at $331. 

Yesterday I spoke with 4 different people at Boston IVF.  I talked with the financial coordinator to pay for our treatment.  $1250. on the AMEX card.  I talked to the paitient liason to go over the drug schedule and procedures.  I talked to my RE’s nurse to establish that it was CD1 and I talked to his assistant to book my follow up appointment where we hopefully will discuss my pregnancy, but we may be discussing where we go from here.  I hope it’s the former with all my heart.

Today nothing is going on, no calls to make, to drugs to take.  I will start tomorrow night with the first 2 Clomid pills.  Chris will be away for the night, so he will miss it if I suddenly turn into a hormonal crazy bitch.  I do need to exercise today.  I am so afraid that I will gain even more weight once I start treatments. 

We have decided to stay positive and think and speak as if this is a done deal.  We have been joking and saying stuff like, “gotta eat healthy for the babies!”  assuming already that we will have twins.  We can hope.
