When we went to get checked up and pick up the drugs, the nurse asked which I wanted the ones that you inject once or the ones that you inject in your tummy every day (Buserelin/Suprecur).
I won’t lie I was a complete woose, and I decided to have the drug that only needed to be injected once.
As it is I suddenly realised that because my cycle is ever so slightly scew wiff sometimes the nurse had made me an appointment for a date that was too early.
That meant that we would have to go back again if we wanted to get the 1 time only injection which was a lot more expensive.
Talking of the expense, there are lots of places you can buy the drugs on the internet, and I am sure that some of them you can trust, but I think that when you are spending so much on them where ever you buy them from, and spending so much on treatment you want to be 100% sure that you are not taking something that isn’t going to work! People sell their left overs on the internet etc. But is it really worth the risk.
To put it into context the IVF part of our treatment is about £3000, but then the ICSI which is the injecting of the sperm into the egg is about £1500, but then the PESE which is the operation to take sperm out of my husband is about £750, there are other expenses too, as I have mentioned the Buserelin/Suprecur this is about £1000 (July 2009 prices).
The Buserelin is given to give a mini menopause, when the period has come the clinic will then give directions to me about taking drugs that will be delivered next Tuesday to stimulate my ovaries into creating eggs.
I nearly said lots of eggs, but I think the quantity is not as important as many people might believe, I think the quality of the eggs is a really important factor.
Some people get lots of eggs and no pregnancy, some get one egg and 1 pregnancy.
Well I practiced giving a lump of plastic the injections. But still terrified….
