Well, who can do without the last minute drama? I went to inject my trigger shot Saturday night at 10 and as I open the box to mix the medicine, I see it says "for intramuscular injection only." WTF? I don't have any IM needles. No one showed me how to do an IM shot. Moreover, it says a different person should do the shot, since they are much more painful and deeper than the subcutaneous shots I have done for everything else. I was mad- why is this surprise coming up now? What can I do on a SAturday night with no needle and no one to help? So I just used my little needles and shot it into my butt 5 times. I don't think it was deep enough to hit the muscle, but the medicine got into me. I'll be pissed if all this money, energy and missed work results in a missed ovulation.
In other news, it looks like insurance might cover part of this. They don't cover infertility unless it has a medical cause. I asked them what else could be the cause? Anyway, I'll try to get the dr to diagnose me with PCOS, which I pretty clearly have. Even if that fails, there is a $9000 cap on out of pocket, which I haev almost hit, so the insurance would end up covering IVF! If the dr's office ever gets around to submitting the claims. For some reason although I've been racking up charges for months, insurance said no claims have been submitted.

working try-to-be-mom
This site isn't working on my Ipad all of a sudden, so I'm typing from work. Oh work. The combo of constatnt dr visits and work is not easy. Today I was supposed to be at the second day of a workshop, but I had to come back for a dr appointment. I guess if my dr were closer to work this would create fewer problems. Anyway, the dr said things are moving well- now we have to consider how much risk of multiples I want to take! There's a 30% chance of twins!
Well, 30% of only a 20% chance of any pregnancy, so it's more like 8%, which seems pretty small. I dont' get the math. How does having 4 or 6 times as many eggs not move the odds of success? That just can't be right. Twins is scary. I mean, do-able and when theya re older I think they'd be lucky to have one another. But for me, all alone, with two mouths to feed. That would be a real challenge. I say, why not try? Then he mentioned triplets..
