Santa came to visit me today! However, no one informed me that he had changed his outfit to look more like this:----------------------->
So it's starting to feel official ladies (and gent)...the meds are here. I have to say I did have a bit of a headache with the whole ordering/pricing process. My insurance was a pain in the butt most of the time...but in the end, most of it is partially covered (all but one-the syn.arel-which is just unbelievable how much a tiny bottle can cost). Question for you brav.elle and men.opur ladies--my instructions say that I can keep the powder portion refrigerated or at room temp--which way have you done it?
In other news...our long weekend was great. The weather was great. The beach was great. Our friends were great. Our dog loved playing in the water! I got some great shots I will share later once I have them uploaded! Speaking of pictures, I am working on my Picture Page entries, and will have a fun announcement (hopefully by this weekend) that My Reality and I are cooking up=)
Tomorrow is June. Holy cow. Time is flying--I wish time flew by like this on the 2ww. It's so funny how once we enter this IF land, that we start to measure our lives in 2 weeks. LJ said that recently on her entry, and it's so true...
I sent out some great post cards to my BB gals--hope you get them soon. I have a new project/idea for you all that I literally stumbled upon over the weekend, so once I get all the details worked out, I will be mailing those!
15 days until I cut my hair for Pant.ene Beautif.ul Lengths. 16 days until my baby brother graduates from high school. 17 days until I am in Key West. 35 days until IVF journey begins...
That's a lot going on. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh can't wait for the annoucement - sounds exciting - I also can't wait to cut my hair off either - wave as you drive by tampa going to key west - if you find yourself stoppin for some odd reason, id meet ya for lunch or something
ReplyDeleteOoh, an announcement? I love the suspense!
ReplyDeleteAs for Bravelle and Menopur, I do not refrigerate them. My RE said don't bother, it's not necessary.
I can't wait to read your announcement. It sounds like you have a lot going on. So jealous that you're going to Key West!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your insurance gave you some help, even if they were a pain.
ReplyDeleteLooking foward to seeing the pictures and hearing about the announcement!
I haven't refrigerated my Bravelle or Menopur either. While I'm not pregnant, it's not b/c the meds didn't do their job. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a pretty good looking Santa!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting all your meds and making it through all the insurance crap...it sure is a pain.
I can't wait to hear the announcement!

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the announcement, and to hearing about all of the exciting endeavors ahead. Good luck on the meds!
YOu come up with the best ideas and I can't wait to hear this! Maybe now that I'm done picking a donor I can concentrate on my BB letters. Gosh, how I hate being the slacker in the group.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm a sucker for countdowns. I love, love, love to think about X days until Y!! I'll be here counting down with you...
ReplyDeleteI keep my bravelle at room temp- I never heard about refridgerating it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good weekend! I love the postcard!
Sounds like you're keeping busy! And, I'm excited for the announcement. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so impressed you're cutting your hair off for Great Lengths. I'm such a scardy cat, I'm not sure I could...
whew, sounds like a lot of fun stuff coming up! looking forward to the announcement. i never refrigerated my menopur either. seems like it would feel better going in at room temp than chilly.
ReplyDeleteI never put my menopur in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteONLY 35 DAYS!??? OMG, I am so excited for you dear friend. I hope this new step on your IF journey brings you lots of happiness
ReplyDeleteWoohoo... count down! Love it. Good luck. I'll be checking on you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the meds! Thanks for the postcard. :) Mine is 9-30.
ReplyDeleteWow! Lots coming up for you. How exciting! Key West sounds fabulous. Looking forward to checking back in as your IVF journey begins.
ReplyDeleteso exciting...!
ReplyDeleteYay on your meds arriving, it's can be quite daunting looking at all of the eh? 35 days will fly by now and it sounds like you're keeping yourself busy anyway.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that the menopur must go in the fridge but it's so cold here at the mo that they told me not to worry :)
When I had the menopur to worry about, it was the height of summer here (110F) and it was NECESSARY to refrigerate the meds. I just took over the vegetable drawer (that had NO veggies in it) and its now my meds drawer. I put it all in there. The only thing that doesn't go in there is the PIO, but only the vial I am currently using. Everything else gets stored in the fridge. If I put it anywhere else I'd forget where it was...better to keep it all together! Good luck! I know I'm a bit late to post this to your blog, but I'm trying to get caught up on my blog reading!
