LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #3

[Bella_]

Hi everyone congrats to frustrated thats excellent news!!! So i havent been on here for a few weeks. I took my second round of clomid this month only half a tablet like my gyn said, i have one week to go until my period should arrive lets hope it doesnt last time the medication gave me sore and swollen boobs, really tired like went to bed at 9 oclock and woke up at 1.15 the next day!! i felt crappy, cranky and emotional. This time i have been tired, not as cranky but got mild headaches the first few days of taking them. So the countdown is on...trying not to think about it too much.

Hey Bella, have you tried taking the clomid at night? myself and other girls found that taking at night you get very few or no side effects at all good luck, i have my appointment in 3 days cant wait to get started again

Thanks bella.. And like tammara said Taking it at night works wonders, the only sight effect i really got was the hot flushes.. My goodness they were bad. GOod luck for that positive in a weeks time for you..
1 more day Tammara how exciting let us no how you go, i have everything crossed for you that they get you started straight away.

ok so i'm 6 weeks ( Still so early ) been really good the last week have felt great actually.
Except for a few dramas that have arised with people, so hard to go through this and try relax when people who are supposed to be close to me cause dramas, selfish people who need to grow up. Oh sorry there was my little vent.

So i'm not real sure either am i supposed to leave this sight now coz i am PG? I'm not sure how it works, like i said before i dont want people to get annoyed coz im in this site and PG, i just really want to keep updated with what is happening with everyone, as you were all there for me thru it ??????

Hey frustrated, if you do leave the forum i would love to stay in touch with you via email if your happy to give me your email address. I would appreciate having someone to talk to about IVF that knows whats involved should i go down that path

[tammara]

Oh another thing if you dont mind me asking, what was the cost involved with the ivf procedure? ive looked at sites and its so confusing

[Frustrated]

Hi Tammara,

I might just stay around here for a little while but im more than happy to give you my email address Is there somewhere on here i can send it private?

So i did isci Ivf, which involves then implanting 1 bladoclast into me. You can either pay the Gap or the full amount the gap is roughly $4590 or the entire amount is about $6490 ( Give or tale a little ) which ever way you choose to pay you get the same amount back from medicare i think that you are out of pocket about $2000, we are still waiting on medicare cheque so i cant be exact. If you pay the gap tho it does take longer to get your refund back from medicare.then there is the hospital fee, I am not covered by private health insurance so it cost us $1300 for the hosp fee ( i was in there for about 3 - 4 hours) then another $350 for the anaesthesist asi im not in a provate hea;th fund i doi not get any of the hosp fees $1300 + $350 back. I would have paid all the money in the world to have gotten a bub.. Hope this helps..
