TRIGGER TIME!
So, after a very emotional day yesterday, I finally tracked down a kit of Lupron at Walgreens at 8:15 pm last night...45 minutes before I was to take the trigger shot. The DR is concerned that because of my elevated estradiol level, that I may hyperstimulate...which can be very dangerous. So, they decided to trigger me with Lupron instead of Ovidril to try to limit the effects of the overstimulation. My insurance does not cover any fertility medications, and I was not prepared to have to buy the Lupron at the last minute. Walgreens (the only store in town with Lupron in stock) quoted me a cash price of $389. What choice did I have??? However, at the last minute, and after much prayer, the pharmacist realized that the prescription qualified for the Walgreens Savings Club. If I joined for an annual fee of $20, the prescription would cost substantially less. My total was $209! Thank you GOD! So, after work today, Brad, me and mom will load up a rental van and drop Libby off at Aunt Mamie's for a slumber party. We will make the trip to Jacksonville, and I will try to get some rest before the egg retrieval tomorrow morning at 7am! It's finally here!!!!
