Exclusively and they carry the drugs regularly. All pharmacies can get the drugs tho. My gf mom owns a pharmacy. A girl I know went to mycare and apparently Heartland wanted a percentage to send clients there. Who knows but that's what she was told when she accidentally went there on her second cycle because Heartland didn't tell her that they changed carriers.
Bobbi. How did your cycle go. How are you feeling. Do you know when you will plan an fet?

I received a brochure for Assiniboine pharmacy with the Heartland paperwork, but just thought I'd ask before I start calling all pharmacies for price comparisons.
I still have to read through all of the consent forms. My appointment for consent signing is coming up soon.

Does anyone know if the 6 week ultrasound is vaginal? And if it has to be a full or empty bladder?

We had our first U/S last Tuesday but all they could see is a gestational sac and a yolk sac so we are going back this Friday for a 2nd U/S. It was Dr. Elliot, he had said that because I got pregnant the cycle after my IVF he wouldn't be surprised if I ovulated later than normal and that I'm just not as far along as they thought I was based on my last period. I have also been reading that since I have a unicornuate uterus sometimes the early U/S can be more tricky because the positioning is a bit different than a full sized uterus - it sounds like a lot of ladies in that group had the same thing happen only to show better news the next U/S. So we are anxiously awaiting our apt on Friday. Had some minor spotting on Friday that made me really paranoid but it went away. The first U/S was an internal U/S so the clinic said that likely just aggravated something.
Mamasita - where are things at with you? Have you signed your consent forms yet?

Feeling ready to go!
I also got my injection training. My protocol calls for gonal F and Luveris to be mixed together into one cocktail = only 1 injection to start off 😊
Then adding cetrotide as an extra injection later.
I started spotting already, so it looks like AF is coming early, which means that I will start BCP soon.

I'm excited for your U/S on Friday. I'm sure it will be more clear

Pip congrats on the first ultrasound. Hopefully it only gets easier to enjoy once everything checks out!
Mama. I didn't mind the injections at all
Afm: post op for tubal removal went good. Thank god. They said one of my tubes was an old infection from my ectopic. So all good. Prepping for fet now. Probably April. Maybe may.

That's a good news from you. I hope everything will be ok on your fet.
I had my transfer last wednesday. Its a 5 day transfer. All 3 embryos made it to day 5 so I have 2 frozens. Im on my 2ww. Do u have any recommendations for what should I do. I went back to work today and some people there made me feel so stressed.

PIP- Last BCP is on Apr21, so I'm assuming I will start the injections shortly after.
Hope4ever- I am wishing you sticky vibes! Is this your first IVF cycle?

Things were definately more clear on Friday. We could see the embryo ( looked like a blob to me, not a clear image but it was def there!) we could see the flickering heartbeat which was 136 bpm. I'm 7 weeks and 2 days so due date is nov 9th for now. He did say that the next us compared to this one will give the most accurate date. I def feel more excited knowing everything's ok in there.
