…for an egg retreival, that is. October 20th is the day. The clock is ticking to really get our money together!
I talked to the pharmacy today about my meds, and the cost is $2,300 right now, but I’m doing some comparison shopping to try to find better deals. So far, I did find one med for $300 less than the first pharmacy, so I may be able to get my med total down to less than $2,000. That would be great!
Changing topics slightly now…
If you, too, are suffering or have suffered infertility, check out this post: Stirrup Queens and Sperm Palace Jesters: The Common Thread Project. It’s a movement of sorts to encourage people suffering through infertility (or who have overcome) to wear a thread that is pomegranate in color as a subtle signal to others. Here is an excerpt from a previous blog entry that explains the reason behind it a little better:
Paz, who is currently pregnant after multiple miscarriages, discussed an incident that took place at Starbucks:
“So, back to Starbucks. I see a woman look at me and then look away, I mean really twisting her neck to look away as I am standing directly in front of her table. I thought I saw…did she wipe away a tear? I wanted to shout, I am not one of THEM. I am an IF! Is there an international sign or secret nod to say, I am one of you and I did it, so maybe you will too. See this belly, it’s the belly of an IF—we shall overcome! Proof that I am an IF: I might be imagining women cry in a Starbucks at the sight of my belly.”
It’s a nice idea, I’m going to see if I can’t make myself a bracelet. :)
