[quote=Anonymous]One thing to add that hasn't been said is that lots of people start in January because of the way the insurance system works (open season, etc.). We wanted to start in January of this year and it was super hard to get appointments and to get our meds because the various clinics and pharmacies were slammed with new clients. We didn't actually end up with our first cycle until March. I would make sure you have your appointments set now and be prepared to be ON TOP of that pharmacy, especially if you are using Aetna Fed, because they get slammed and things get overlooked. We ended up with about $2,000 in extra meds that we didn't need because we weren't paying more attention. (Those puppies are still sitting in my refrigerator. Ugh.) Also, if you are switching insurance to a company that makes you get a referral, line up that appointment and the subsequent appointment with your RE now.

As for work, my boss and colleagues are awesome and many of them know. I work in science so they are mostly guys. They don't ask awkward questions but they have been super understanding too. It's given me a lot of flexibility and I'm really glad I don't have to lie because I'm a super crappy liar.[/quote]
