WANT to scream!!!!!!!!
Ok, so AF showed today - no big deal. Yesterday, DH and I realized we couldn't do drugs this month (AHHHH!) because now his POS (message me if you don't know what that means) car is acting up and it will take every bit of baby money (around 700 bucks) we had to fix it, so we can't do both this month. I AM NOT HAPPY!!!
Anyway, I get the bright idea to at least add clomid (though it has never worked before, but hey, I gotta try something or I will go nutso!!). So, I call the RE and speak to the nurse. She says that sounds fine and she will ask the doc tomorrow and let me know. Then she proceeds to tell me that I have to come in for an ultrasound (which is a 100 bucks) "just to check" because I haven't had one since March 5th. They can't give me the meds unless I come in. No big deal except they have to do it on CD 1-3 only. WHAT? I have a freaking job and I have 2 half days left with my kids and I just CAN'T do it. I am CD 1 today. I am so mad that I just want to cry - I have just about lost it 3 or 4 times already in the last 2 hours.
Going to miss the whole month because I have no baby meds money and I can't miss my last two days which are only half days. But their radiologist goes back to the hospital and is not in the fertility clinic after 10am. I just can't do it. I can't go to the damn u/s, which means I get no drugs.... Which means I have no freakin chance in hell of conceiving again for another MONTH!! I just want to give up so bad. I lost it with DH and cried and cried and cried when I realized we didn't have the money for meds this month. I just feel so defeated. I wanna curl up and just cry.

Hi. I recently ordered Fertility Blend for Women. It's pills that you take daily to increase fertiliy; but before I opened it, I noticed the warning not to take them while taking clomid, which I just started this cycle. So, if you are interested, I don't mind sending the Fertility Blend to you. It's an unopened bottle. Who knows, it may help ?? If you want me to send it to you, just send me a note w/your address.
Have a great day :)
Have a great day :)
I am glad you are feeling better today! I wish I only had 3 half days left. :) I have 9 full days and 2 half days left. Everything works out in the end. It is hard to see it when you do not see light at the end of the tunnel. I have my fingers crossed for you. :)
I'm happy you feel better today.
I really do nor understand why they are being so stubborn on the U/S day.
It sucks.

Hey amanda! UGH - I feel a bit better today, still just peed off. We will see if those stupid people will call me today. I really liked them at first and this whole fiasco has just made me soooooo mad. I have taken clomid on days 5-9 before so why can't they do that - though it wouldn't really help, I have to work saturday morning too! UGH! :( I think I just may decide to just do the metformin (god I hate that stuff- it makes mer sooooooooo sick) and just hope and pray. I hate to waste a great month where I will be off work and really not stressing like I do at work. I guess July will end up being our "med month". Oh well. Guess we will see. It would be better to get preggo in August because then I can have the baby in May of next year and be able to have the whole summer. I guess it will work itself out. But I like to be in control and I am definately NOT in control right now... Just 3 more half days and I am done for the summer!!!!!!! :) WOO HOO!
Oh Jen i am so sorry about all this i know exactlly how you feel i have to wait at least a whole freaking year. I know a month seems like alot but i think that you are gonna make it. hopefully they can get you in and your boss will let you off. Let me know how it goes k. HUGS!!!!!
I tried to call them back and see if I can get in Friday morning. I will have to beg for time off Friday and pray my principal allows me to go. If I can't get in I will take it as a sign that I am just not supposed to do meds this month. UGH...Just bummed I can't even get my freakin clomid...It doesn't even work! If I can't get in I will take my metformin only and pray real hard!!!!!!!!!
Hello,I don't know if you remember me, but I was on here awhile ago. I am so sorry about your situation! But I just wanted to share, I just started going to a new doc. He is very helpful, and also wants to try me on menogon shots (i think the same thing as menopur). I have found a way to get the medicine for very cheap. For 10 vials it is $155 instead of $550. So if you are interested let me know and I can email you about it. I know that the costs add up so quickly!! And i was scared he would want to go right to another IVF, but he said he knows I can get pg without it. So now I have new hope and am feeling good. . . Again so sorry about your situation!!
This is so frustrating!!! Financing ttc is so difficult. I think that everyone here can relate. My heart goes out to you.
Oh I am so sorry! I know, a couple months ago my u/s lady was sick, which it is an hour away, and their office is two hours away...so I had to drive to their office to do a 5 minute u/s...HELLO!!! GAS IS EXPENSIVE!!! Then I had to cancel our IUI last month because DH couldn't get their because there was no one to cover the proshop.
I took this month off, still not giving up hope. Just remember when one door closes another opens. Sometimes life throws us curve balls and we try everything in our power to go against what life has thrown us...but maybe, just maybe it is the universe telling you to go this way this month. I know, yadda yadda yadda, so much easier said then done.....
Hang in there, you are always there so much for everyone on this forum, so if there is anything I can do for you just let me know!

Gosh, I'm sorry, I know this whole thing can be frustrating, particularly when your clinic can't work with you. The should understand we do all have lives, even though it seems its all about TTC.
I'm a bit concerned about going herbal, but there are likely many here who have taken Vitex and can attest to its efficacy and/or safety.
Also, see if you can get your doc on the phone. The nurse don't always have it right. Before I had my hysteroscopy, nurse said I may have to take bc for a cycle if my hysterscopy was past cd9 (it was cd11). I didn't and my doc didn't care, said I could go ahead and TTC right away. So if you can, verify with your doc whether you need another u/s. Also, whether you can do cd4 or even 5 instead.
Else, it may be OK to just try on own one this month. I know you had to do drugs before, but maybe this time it will work. Plus, you'll probably be less stressed once school is out and the car is working again.

No meds since Jan. Got pregnant in Jan with menopur shots, clomid, and trigger shot but lost the baby in March. No meds since then. Was waiting until this month and now - nothing. I AM SOOOOOOO PISSED!!!!!
I agree with Alikat. Maybe you can try vitex this month... NOthing wrong with going herbal even just for a month... Come on girl at least you won't say you did not try this month... And who knows maybe this time it will work since it's a change from your usual routine. I know you can find something from the health stores and herbal medicine pharmacies. I heard agnus castus does the same thing... and there's this raspberry leaf that's supposed to help with clotting... Cheer up see... you have options... the cheaper kind LOL hugs to you... you must be crying the whole morning by now... I know how it feels when you want something important and things don't happen the way they are supposed to... Hey! women get prego with herbal too... worth a try ,,take care
I am so sorry!!! I completely understand about the doctor not being able to accomodate a teacher's schedule. It is so frustrating. It is not like you can just leave your kids for a couple of hours and come back. You have to do more to be out of work than you do to be there. I AM SO SORRY!!! I know it is hard to cheer you up when things seem so bad! I am sorry AF showed up too. I was hoping to hear something different! I wish I could just call your doctor and give them a piece of my mind. What is wrong with them not helping you solve this problem.
What kind of meds were you taking last month???? Were you on injections or getting ready to start them???

take some vitex (supposedly natural clomid, never worked for me, but it's something anyway!) and keep your fingers crossed. so sorry, that sucks!
Clomid never worked anyway, it was a serious long shot but I can't stand to think I am just sitting around and twiddling my thumbs.... :( BOO HOOOO!!!!!!
I got off the phone before I lost it in front of my kids. We were outside on the basketball courts. She just kept saying "I'm sorry" so I said I "had to go" and hung up. I am so mad. My eyes are freaking welling up and I am having to tell my kids that my allergies are bothering me.... I just wanna go home.
so many ideas here! also you can go to an imaging center where the radiologist is there all day you can find a way, ask them if he can fax the results over today or tomorrow as soon as you do the u/s if you can still get a script.
also ask if there is any way you could do the u/s at your ob's office, really try anything. it's worth a shot.
my dr. will do the u/s as late as cd 4 and you can start meds same day. call and beg.
