I had been off birth control for a year, charting for 6 months and it was time for my yearly pap. My charts were not showing a clear indication of ovulation, so I asked my GYN to do some testing. She balked at first, wanting me to chart and do OPK...
Nice to meet you, Carol. I love proving the doctors wrong!
Congrats.

- hah. What's funny is that I started to say the same thing and then a couple of people piped up about how "wrong' that was and i thought "uh.. oops..."
Really, I thought it was legal to DONATE meds but just not to resell them?
Hell, a lot of people at my fertility clinic donate meds back to the clinic and they will give them to other patients who are struggling with money.
I felt awful because I wasted a shot of Ovidrel when I got pregnant with Robbie. I (for once!) managed to surge on my own and didn't need it. I tried to donate it a couple of times but every time I tried something didn't work out right. And it's one of those that has a short half-life. I had to pitch it.
I felt awful doing it because 1) I wasted a ton of money on it and 2) someone could have used it.

Another woman on the call pointed out that all the message boards say you can't do that. Which is true. But it happens "behind the scenes" via IM/PM all the time. But then after I said it I wondered if I shoulda kept my mouth shut?

- That's exactly what I said to David later. "I'll be a fertility Santa Claus!"
When she asked if we'd ever had the urge to help someone I was like UM YEAH. ALL THE TIME.
Someone else on my call answered that one but she said that we all get to know each other so quickly and completely. It happens all the time.

- OMG - yes! They were like "would you be comfortable offering vouchers for Gonal-f to friends". I was "He!! yes - gimme some gift certificates for stims and I'll be Santa Clause to all my IF sisters all day long!"
