Ghost, one more question

[tali]

I asked you about the shortage of menpour the other day and wanted to say thanks for the reply.

I am on day 11 of stimming (my 3rd cycle of IVF). Still only 2 follies, one on each side, they are measuring 9 and 10… E2 doubled and is at 157

My last cycle was very similar to this and the follies either degenerated around day 14 of stimming or I ovulated on my own. Here is the question - We have just found out that we have used up all our pharmacy benefits and need to start paying out of pocket for the meds at $93.00 per amp for Brevelle. I am on 8 amps a day.

I have heard of women getting BFPs with one egg, but I don't even know if we will be able to get an egg from either follicle.

Is it worth moving forward? This would be our last go at this as without the insurance coverage we are not able to fund it ourselves.

Thanks in advance.

That's a lot to pay for Bravelle. I think we get it for under $50.

I can't begin to tell you if it's worth going forward. That's a judgment call, based on how valuable the chance of a pregnancy is to you. I can say that if I was in your shoes, I'd finish what I started. See if you can get the meds any cheaper though. Check with the IVF coordinators at your clinic, and let them know you are paying cash for your meds.
