Re: Tomorrow...
i JUST started injectables last night. i was freaking out about it b/c i'm so nervous about needles but it was honestly a piece of cake. it didn't hurt at all and the needle is tiny. i'm not sure about GHI, i have Cigna and had to pay out of pocket for the injectables (praying that eventually Cigna will reimburse us) and the cost for the follistim and the ovidrel was appox $700 through Kraupners.

Re: Tomorrow...
i hate to twll you this,maybe u ghi is diff from mine..i hope so..for us they have not covered any fertility meds at all..
the gonal f pens cost us 990 bucks!
i am so thankful this cycle i was able to have a wonderful woman on this site mail me the extra she had
the injection itself is not bad at all..it's like a pen..u get use to them!

Re: Tomorrow...
I have GHI too. The covered everything for us. Only had to pay copays. I had to use a specific pharmacy though. If they deny it at first call and complain they should override it.

We have GHI NYC benefits, I'm wondering if they will cover it...The do not cover ovidrel for whatever reason but everything else has been ok. We'll see! Thanks

I have GHI, I'm a NYC guidance counselor, and they covered all my meds for my IVFs and my IUI. Most recent was follistim and hcg for my IUI, and it was covered, just a $155 copay. The meds came from freedom, except for my first dose which was from Kraupners.
Good luck!!!!

Unfortunately we have Union Prescription Benefits through CVS caremark which basically makes me go thru hoops to get anything covered. I'll fight with them. TU!!!
