I started my lupron depot treatment last night with, you read correctly, one injection costing almost $600! So I had my dh come with me to double check everything I was doing. Even though I've mixed ganirelix and menopur dozens of times and injected myself in the butt over a hundred times with PIO it was still disconcerting to have only one chance at this. It kinda reminded me of the anxiety I feel when taking the trigger shot - you've got only one shot and it has to be done right. Talk about pressure!
Well, it went without a hitch and guess what the side effects are with lupron depot 3.75mg? Menopausal symptoms - oh joy! Of course not all women experience it but if I do I should start seeing symptoms in 1-2 weeks. I'll keep ya posted - or maybe I shouldn't be posting in that condition :-)
So, next shot will be in 28 days. That'll give me time to look for a cheaper shot from abroad. I'm in So. Cal and I've been looking into online pharmacies from Canada & the UK. Any one have any experience using a prescription from the US and buying meds from another country? Any recommendations of online pharmacies (I've got ivfmeds.com and northwestpharmacy.com)
