...but mainly good news!!
First, non-IF related, was that my husband's job position is being eliminated mid-Feb. We've known for a month now, and it's been nerve-wracking, in large part because he is our insurance carrier. (I work for a small business that does not offer insurance of any sort.) He applied for a different position at the same company--and on Wed. we found out he got it!! I'm so proud of him. It was a very competitive position, and they interviewed at least 10 people. I sure picked a goodie.
Second, the monster cyst on my left ovary is gone!!! So I get to cycle, with a baseline on Jan 6th. Yay!!! Also, apparently billing said it would be illegal to bill the insurance and then comp it if that didn't work out. So they just comped it. I love my clinic!
And now for the salt...
I have a cyst on my right ovary, about 2cm. They can't tell if it's coming or going. (I sure hope it's going, now that I'm off that damn Lupron.) But because my monster cyst vanished "so quickly", they think that...well, we'll do one of 2 things: either just cycle around any existing cysts, or else aspirate them and figure they won't grow back. I kinda hate my ovaries. But at least I won't be cancelled...hopefully.
And then D, the nurse I really liked for Dr B, quit to spend more time with her family. So there's a new nurse...
And either she didn't know, or she just isn't as hooked up as everyone else. Because my clinic had said they would try to get me the antagonist for free (from the med company or else from donations), but she said no, I'd have to order it. Same with the extra Bravelle I need. I'm trying not to be bummed about this--my clinic has been overly nice to me. And JimDear does still have a job, so our straights aren't entirely dire. But still, I was sort of counting on that. Oh well, I guess that's what credit cards are for.

Congrats on hub's job! I know that must be a huge relief! Our insurance doesn't cover anything with fertility treatments, but all the other crazy stuff associated with it has been covered. And is sure hope those cysts disappear for good! And, a new year to look forward to.
This post is really symbolic of IF. So many ups and downs! It's like a roller coaster! I'm happy for your husband securing employment : )
Congratulations on his job! That is a HUGE relief Im sure. As far as your new nurse, is it possible to talk to a different nurse? Maybe one who knows more of your situation and the promises that have been made? Good luck!
Thanks you guys. :)
The nurse manager is someone I have a very close relationship with, after all of these attempts. She has assured me the hCG and is working on the extra stims. She says she can't help with the antagonist, because it's been on back-order, so they've given out everything they had and don't think more patients will be turning in any anytime soon.
