The Quest for the Holy Grail

Aunt Flo arrived a bit early, so I started BCPs on Monday night. This pretty much describes how I feel on the left. I tried to see if there was a way to take less BCPs, but I'm invested in the date I chose for my FET transfer, so it means taking a crap load more BCPs, as in 30+ days. So far, so good. I think either the side effects haven't really kicked in, or this is a different type of BCPs than I took at the other clinic, and it's better for me. My mood is surprisingly good. I had a few freak out moments in making the decision to go ahead now with the BCPs, as in, "OMG, this is really happening and I hope it won't be like last time" freak out.

Here I am, groveling again. I'm kinda hoping it will be like this scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail:



Sorry to beg! If any of you gals have some spare meds floating around your closet that you don't need anymore, I would very much appreciate any donations. Although FET is a lot cheaper (*cough*) than IVF, we are still feeling the squeeze with Magic out of work right now (says as she averts eyes...). I will need the following:
  • Lu.pron, not generic
  • Vi.velle 0.1mg patches
  • P.IO
  • End.ometrin
Please e-mail me at phoebephoenixtalesatgmaildotcom if you can help.

A huge THANK YOU goes out to my two angels who have already helped me out. You know who you are! Wouldn't it be cool if we had a Sal.vation Army type place that would offer to pick up your left over donated meds from your house and distribute them to those who need them?

Sorry hun! I tossed all my drugs in my fit of "i will never be pregnant why do I need this crap" plus i didn't take any of those drugs, but, still I had bottles and bottles of est*race...
Try emailing L & F and making a plead for drugs!

I'm glad you aren't feeling side effects from the BCPs yet. I have yet to take them, but will need to soon enough for our FET...I'm scared. I felt awful on them when I took them 10 years ago...you know, when I was trying NOT to get pregnant...ha,ha,ha.

What a great idea about the meds - kind of like an ivf craig's list or something.

I'm so glad the BCPs aren't getting you like last time. I hate those bless-ed little pills. You are going to do great!!

I love the IVF med Salvation Army idea. (-; If this cycle bombs for me I will have a bunch of Endometrin and Vivelle left over. I'm hoping to need them, but you are first on my list if I don't, okay?

good luck, sistah! i wish i had drugs to give you (though I just got a big stash of homeopathic stuff smuggled in from the states... flu fighting crap, nothing pregger-related...)

what happened to Magic?! I'm so sorry he's not working... sucky economy.

I have some Vivelle Dot patches. I think I'll have 8 left. Not too much, but if it will help... let me know! :)
