Ok so after a really long time researching different meds that can help kris, I called the RE and talked to the nurse and explained we cant afford 7200 dollars for 4 months of medication. So I said Ive been doing a little research and I found a breast cancer medication, tamoxifen that is also used to help sperm count and testosterone for men. She said yeah we carry it. I said well I would like to see if my husband can use that instead of menopur. She said she would ask the dr and get back with me. Well she called back the very next day and said the Dr said that was a great IDEA and good job with the researching. So the best part about this medication is... it does the same thing as menopur and clomid but INSURANCE covers it bc its a Breast cancer medication and not a Fertility medication... So i paid a whopping 12 dollars for a whole months supply of it.
Kris is still skepitcal which is understandable, but im just so proud of myself for researching this and also staying on top of the doctors.. ( tooting my own horn sorry) lol but i have a huge smile on my face... I really hope this helps... But we are going to a second opinion at a new ENDO dr office and Im going to bring this medication up. Usually ENDO doctors want to treat low testosterone with Androgel which didnt do much for kris and it killed all his sperm, so we are going to go in there explaining we want a medication that will WORK for kris but also allow us to have a family.
praying and hoping this is the answer...
