So DH takes and drops off my RX for the progesterone gel Crinone 8% that my OB/GYN
wants me to start. He gave me a starter kit of six application tubes. Long's pharmacy
calls and says that this isn't covered by my insurance without "pre-approval" and without
that a 1 month supply is $500. HOLY COW !!!

Of couse the DR's office is closed Fri - SUn so I have to wait until Monday and hope that
he is creative enough to talk the insurance company into the RX.

Anyone else use this ?

What was your experience ?

Thanks Ash, Cris, and Jackie !

I too hope that the insurance can work this out ... if not ... I will fork out the $500 if it will
help to keep things nurished and "sticky" !

I will keep you ladies posted as things progress.

I know I am still a newbie here ... but have learned so much "lurking" and
its nice to be able to share the news here right away ... even before my family.

I POAS this morning at 6am ... put the dogs out, feed the cats ... came back upstairs
casually went to check the stick ... rubbed my sleepy eyes a few times ... then went
and woke up DH ! I said "look" ... he said "it's a stick" ... I said "Yes ... READ THE STICK!"
He rolled over turned on the light and started giggling ... "Yea Momma !"

With my job I have to tell them right away ... I have to be assigned to a different division.
I work in a jail ... airborne crap, fights, etc ... no need to be around me !
The only drama is ... in case of a MS, EVERYONE will be in my business. I can't hide
it for 3 months then tell people ... so ... here's to a sticky bean !!!

I've been on 2 types of progesterone. The first was in pill format (prometrium) and then it was in suppositories. Both were covered mainly by insurance, but neither was that expensive to start with. When you talk to your doctor, you may want to ask if there is another form you can take that's cheaper.
