MULLY Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Best of luck to you, man, but seriously, as long as you and your wife love each other that's all that matters. My wife and I tried, both of us healthy, gave up and checked with a doctor, he was giving her some kind of shots, still didn't take, we gave up.

Jason Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 An update. We found out the hard way that we have a fairly low lifetime limit on our fertility pharmacy benefit. One of the drugs we need to use, Folistim, puts us over that limit. Unless we can find a way to lower the amount of folistim we need, or find an alternative way of coming up with it, we may not be able to move forward.

|Bunghole| Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 This may not be your favorite option Jason, but you can always adopt if you cannot conceive. My brother and I are both adopted. My Mom and Dad, both apparently fertile according to doctors (late 1960's, though) just could never conceive for whatever reason. We were both adopted as infants, and never really knew any better even when we were old enough to be told the truth. It didn't matter. I won the parental lottery with them. Good luck whichever direction your quest for children takes you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle1 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 You may have already checked, but is a generic version available? Also, have you checked Canadian prices? Sometimes, you can get stuff pretty cheap there. Finally, with the way the economy is, you may be able to contact the manufacturer directly and see if they can offer any assistance (Schering-Plough?). I saw Pfizer is giving people free medicine for up to a year right now. It might be a long shot, but the worst they can say is no... I will say a prayer for you.

PathWay Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I am a long-time lurker from Canada, rarely post. Read this site practically every day. But Jason's plea caused a spark in me to reply. My wife and I went through the same thing 10 years ago. We tried everything possible. It was ultimately described as "unexplained infertility." It happens. Fast forward to today. We now have two beautiful daughters, Ally (5) and Julia (10). Jules was born in Guatemala, Ally in Colombia. Those who say a parent can't love an adopted child like their very own don't know what they are talking about it. To us, our family was destined to be this way and we feel blessed because of it. I love Bunghole's comment about winning the "parental lottery." I hope my girls feel the same but I know for CERTAIN that my wife and I hit the jackpot with these two beautiful daughters coming into our lives this way. Sorry for the ramble... all a long way of saying: I'm a big believer some things are meant to be. Trust it... and the path will unfold for you. Blessings, Jason.

Jason Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Another update. My wife just called on the way home from the doctor. She currently has 2, maybe 3 follicles that are large enough to retrieve. The doctor doesn't like doingt a retrieval with less than 5. And we are down to our last 2 days of the follicle stimulating drug (the folistim). And we don't have the money to buy anymore vials. So unless the follicles start growing, or the doctor decides it is worth doing a retrieval with just 2 or 3, we may have just spent all this money for nothing. More prayers would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
