More Medications & More Money

So, starting today.. I'm taking the max doseage of Clomid (150mg); three times what I took before. And I had terrible side effects (rash, night sweats) before.. so this should be interesting.

I also just spoke with the office manager at my specialist's office. She informed me, that unfortunately, insurance will not be covering the cost of the ultrasound. So I have to pay $211 out of pocket, in full, on the day of the test (which is less than two weeks away). For those keeping track.. that means for the minimal treatment, and cheapest treatment, it's about $335 per month. And again, that's for the option that gives us the least chance for success.

What this tells me, is that we can't feasibly try this for more than a couple months; and there's really no way we can take it to the next (more expensive and invasive) level. Obviously, the idea of giving up is a real downer. But I feel like we won't have any choice. The doctor doesn't even do payment plans, so everything has to be paid in full before treatment or testing is provided. There's just no way...
