Meds, Meds Everywhere

My medications arrived today all safe and sound. Everything looks great, but there is only enough Endometrin (progesterone suppositories) for 2 days so I need to ask my RE's office about this during my next appointment.

It's a little overwhelming to see all of this laid out on our counter. I've seen IVF med pictures before, but it is a bit surreal to know these are mine. I am elated that I take my last BCP today. I've had night sweats for the past 2 nights and the headache is continuous. Next stop to my RE is on Monday for: Mock transfer, bloodwork, ultrasound, sign consent forms, injection instructions, and more activity for the Discover card as we will pay for our cycle too.


Here is a breakdown of meds and costs for each:

1 pack BCPs: $ 15.00
3 x 900IU Gonal-F pens (FSH): $1971
20 x 75IU vials Menopur (FSH & LH): $1189.80
1 x 10000USP Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG trigger): $ 36.40
3 x 250MCG Ganirelix Acetate (GnRH antagonist): $ 293.10
30 Prenatal Vitamins: $ 6.00
10 x 100mg Doxycycline capsules: $ 11.60
30 x 81mg Aspirin: $ 0.90
16 x 0.1MG Vivelle (estrogen patches): $ 108.80
6 x 100MG Endometrin (vaginal progesterone): $ 39.18
5 x 100MG Darvocet tablets: $ 2.85
15 x 3CC Syringes: "Free"
15 x 22G - 1 1/2" Needles: "Free"
15 x 27G - 1/2" Needles: "Free"
Gauze & Alcohol wipes: "Free"

A note to those looking at the med costs: I am on an aggressive dose for my age (my RE's words) due to my FSH so I think there is a little more Gonal-F and/or Menopur than what might be normal.
