Moving Along

I saw the OB/GYN a few weeks ago, got everything all set to go there. I will be on the same protocol as my last pregnancy as far as the clomid and progesterone and blood draws. Kind of on my own, but I think I remember what to do and if not then there is the good 'ole internet! He asked what dosage we used last time for the clomid and I said I took it for many months and played around with it, taking sometimes one to two tablets, and changing up which cycle days to take it on. So its up to me to start with what I want. For some reason he didn't have the dosage of the progesterone written down anywhere in my file so he is supposed to have called the compounding pharmacy in town to see what they did last time and use that dosage again. I need to call tomorrow to make sure it is right.

I went to pick up some routine meds yesterday and was slammed with another hurdle. Apparantly my prescription coverage has been maxed out for the year and it is only July! Yikes. This happened last year, but not till October. We'll make it somehow. That progesterone is over $120 a month and my Fortamet ER (metformin) is about that much too. And then there's all the rest.

I did call a midwife in the lower Michigan area last week, a referral from a friend. The phone interview went well and I can't wait till we can meet her in person after we actually get pregnant and get past 12 weeks or so. More on the midwife thing when we get there!

I turned 30 today. I wasn't so bad. I have a fabulous husband, beautiful baby I never thought I have, and am even starting my own business! I feel pretty good and can't wait to see what this year will bring!
