First blog entry! WAHOO! As it stands right now this page is unpublished. It's my own sneaky little therapy session. As of today we have not had to go to extreme measures yet- medication wise. This second cycle of Femara didn't go as planned, and we hear wednesday August 6th what is happening. Apparently I had 4 follicles on my CD14 scan but according to CD21 bloodwork there was no ovulation. SO. To be continued!
Over the months I have spent well into the over $1000 in "aids" to conceive. I know I could have gone above and beyond in trying things but I was really too afraid to mix supplements etc. Every month I would buy pregnancy tests and an OPK. An OPK can run up to $75 and pregnancy tests around $25. I won't be buying OPK's anymore since i get constant false positives because of my PCOS. Pictured below was a mean joke- I got a false positive on mama's day 2014.
Listed below are some things we have used:
Acupuncture/ Massage therapy
Chinese herbal tea
OPK/HPT tests
Vitamins, Omegas, cinnamon, turmeric
Pre-seed, soft cups
Digital thermometer
Also I now have to take synthroid daily. For 5 days of Clomid costs $50. Then I have had to take Femara and progesterone as well. I also miss work a LOT for appointments.
As of August 2014 we have yet to have to spend thousands at a time on treatment or medication.
But I will say we have paid for all therapies and drugs out of pocket since our coverage doesn't start till the end of August.
Peace, Love & Baby Dust!
