Oh, the fun of Lupron and appointments!

Had my first side effects from the Lupron yesterday- hot flashes!  Feels like I have a really bad sunburn and I start sweating- yuck.  I'm on day 6, so that is not too bad I guess.  Hopefully they don't get worse...  

I'm having the worst luck trying to coordinate my monitoring appointments.  If you are not at HRC to do the monitoring then you have to go to your local clinic (or in some cases, OB/GYN) to do the first 1-3 u/s and b/w appointments.  I can't decide between going to my "local" fertility clinic (about 45 minutes away) or my new OB/GYN.  The problem is that my OB does the follicle scan u/s but not the b/w.  No labs in my county do the stat Estradiol testing.  So, I'd have to travel for the b/w anyway.  Makes more sense to just do the u/s and the b/w at the fertility clinic, right?  Yes excpet that the clinic charges $425 for an u/s and my OB charges $210.  True, it's only $430 difference (with two appointments) but that is a lot of baby clothes I could buy.  Right now I have appointments at both places for Monday morning so I need to decide today what I'm going to do!  Arrgghhh....
