Fed ex vs ME!!!!

Only me. My fertility drugs were to be delivered today on a Saturday aka Sabbath for the Seventh Day Adventist church I have been going to. Fed Ex and I are not the best of friends. Fed Ex has on a couple occasions skipped my home and designated my neighborhood as unsafe. Normally I have them come to my job. No problems there but it is the weekend and this is the only option.

I cancelled everything for today. I had an ultra sound this morning at 7:30 am (seven follies and growing) missed Weight Watchers and church for Fed EX. The online pharmacy sends a tracking number and you get to see exactly where you are in the process. At 9:30am my package was en route. I even put a sign on the door saying ring the door bell. At 11:15 am the tracking number says delivery attempted made customer not at home. WHAT!!!! I tried not to panic and I called the pharmacy terrified that the address change had not happened. They tell me they will contact Fed Ex and I may have to go to pick it up. I don't care , I don't want to miss this cycle over a missed delivery. Now I am suppose to wait for a call back. What if they can't get it to me.

Now I am calling Fed Ex. They had the right address, drive said I wasn't home. HE LIED!! I then went on a calling spree of every person who would listen at FED Ex that the driver never came to my house. I refused to let Fed Ex off the phone (and I told them that) until my package was delivered. Eventually I was on the phone with the DC manager Shannon and we stayed on the phone until the driver greeted me.

I shouldn't have had to go to this level but I got my package.

CD 1

It always happens. Wear a white outfit an AF comes with a furry. I am not even due untill next week if you count from when I started after the Prometrium but if you count prior to the prometrium it is right on time. The good news is I probably will have the iui before my trip to NY which was kind of worring me that we were might close. Now just gotta get those medications in by tommorow night.

Can't wait to go home and get some sleep. Last night people celebrating the "Lakers Win" scarred Dryfeus so he got the privilidge of sleeping with us. This Dog weighs 100lbs. Anyway Dryfeus and Tony went head to head last night snoring. If was like one long snore and I got no sleep at all. I have and US in the morning. Here's hoping for 6 follies on the right.

Insurance

When Tony and I first decided to get married we pretty much knew we would probably need a specialist to have a baby, due to our (mostly mine) ages. Tony being a vet had insurance through the VA only (no help with fertility there) plus he works for a reliogus entity (no help there either). I on the other had was paying top dollars for the top plan of the three offered by the company, only to discover that the bottom two are the only ones that include any fertility. Can't change the plan until October (seven months away!!!) unless you get married and add your spouse. Adding Tony and going to the lower plan actually still cost less than the plan I was on and now we had some fertility benefits.

The "McDonalds" Fertility we were at first really had their stuff together when it was time to get paid. This second one doesn't. I still love my Doc but his support staff has much to be desired.

My insurance company says I must have a preapproval by a certain company and order my meds from a certain pharmacy. The RE nurse keeps calling somebody else and they call me wanting $3164.25!!! I then call the RE and tell her the proceedure for which she gives me major attitude "we have done this before". Then I get another call for $3164.25.

Now today I have to see her to teach me how to give myself the Gonal F shot with the pen. This is going to be fun.

Still waiting to start

Time sure does not fly. I know it may be the end of June before we can get started. Trying to find other things to keep my mind busy. Not finding much.

My head hurts and I am really sleepy. Looking forward to the weekend and it is only tuesday.

What else can I do?

Getting Started

Hello world. My hubby thinks it will be good for me to write my feelings down. I think it will be fun to put my mind at ease.

To introduce myself, I am Stephanie. I am 41 and a half years old. When you are trying to have a baby the doctors begin to add each month to your age again. That is my mission now, trying to bring Tiger into this world. That is our play name for our baby "Tiger" :)

OK back to this journey. It has taken me 40 years to meet "the one" and I so much praise Jesus for him. After a 11 month courtship we had the wedding that WE TV is made of. Then we thought let's try to have a baby quick. I spoke with my cuz (who is a OBY/GYN) and she told me to go straight to the Specialist. I did and what a journey it has been.

We did try naturally for a little as we went through the test but no luck so far. We started with the people who advertise on the radio. It was like a spa in there. Very nice, but everything according to the book. It didn't work and I didn't feel like they were trying. Now we are on to another RE.

What makes me different than the other bloggers - I am black. I haven't been able to find another black person to admit this issue. As a culture we think having a baby is only a thought well it is not.

Now I am going to have Tiger but it may just take a moment.
