Saturated fat, life-saving, and incorrect prescriptions

Tonight I went down to our local chip shop and ordered a kiddies cone (in a tray), covered them in vinegar, and then poured hot baked beans over them. Then I went home and ate a Kit Kat. I'm now thinking of eating some sugary Kellogg’s cereal.

Surely four injections of suprefact can't have affected my sensibilities that much?

On a more positive note, a certain online friend posted her spare needles and syringes off to me yesterday and I received them today. Life saver! I am so grateful because we made the decision to buy all our own drugs this cycle, as our clinic puts a massive mark-up on the price. We need to be as economical as possible this time round. I've now got 19 day's worth of needles and syringes left (and an incorrect prescription for buserelin nasal spray).

I don't think my consultant was engaging his brain when he wrote it out as I specifically stated the suprefact injection drug as I have an unpleasant reaction to sniffing buserelin. Remember last cycle I had to go to A&E at 2:00 in the morning with a swollen throat and impeded breathing? I'm not doing that again! Injections are fine if occasionally painful (like this morning's).

Anyway, I’m now waiting for a new prescription to arrive so we can get it from Ali’s chemist in Shadwell who do extremely economically priced fertility drugs. For example, they charge £15.50 for a bottle of Suprefact, whereas my clinic charges £60. Can you believe it?? What a racket.
