So. 

I knew injectables were expensive. But I looked it up in my drug pricing stuff at work MONTHS ago and saw $150 or so. I was ok with spending that on a cycle. I mean, it's not exactly awesome, but it's not bad.

Yesterday I was reading an infertility blog. The author was moving on to injectables after Femara. And she said something about her $600 trip to the pharmacy. And I'm thinking, ok, well clearly she's independently wealthy and her RE just prescribed the fancy, expensive drugs.... right?

No. 

$600 is actually on the cheap side of injectable drugs. $600 is for the girls who have ovaries that play nice. Lazy Ovary Ladies like me are looking at $1200-2000 PER CYCLE.
PER CYCLE!
That $150 figure I saw earlier? Yeah... that's per dose.

The thought of spending $600 on the drugs for a cycle got me a little queezy.
$1200?!  
HELL, NO!!!
I'm not shelling out THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS per cycle for a crap-shot chance at getting pregnant!
HOW does anyone stomach that???
I get excited over thrift stores! I am not a "spend thousands of dollars on your uterus" kind of gal!
Not that that's wrong or anything... it just makes me want to vomit a little.
Or maybe that was the 1.5 doughnuts I ate after dinner... ;)
