Ordering Vials?

Hi all, I am doing my first IUI in late September.
I am planning on ordering several vials because my doctor does back to back IUIs - yikes, is it expensive!
Wondering if its better to call when ordering, or to do the ordering online, and how long it takes for the orders to arrive?
Thanks!

Thank you sheannca for your response. Question for you - what do you mean to read the threads? Do you mean on here? I have been reading them
I called this evening - was on "wait" for 35 minutes! I guess they are very busy!
In terms of calling this evening, I'm surprised you had to wait. I've never waited. Perhaps they were closed on labor day. I could see how that would spark an influx in calls especially at the end of the day. Try call earlier if you're able to. They are super helpful, trust me.

I had my first IUI today - not really expecting much but I was braver than I thought - One of my single friends who had a successful IUI told me the speculum was awful! I found it to be uncomfortable but not unbearable - I think the buildup to the anxiety about it all was worse than the actual procedure!
Thanks again for your assistance.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I yet to do my first round, but I like enjoy hearing about other's experience.
Good luck!
Sheannca, you will do great! When will your first round be? I did back to back (had my second today) - I am older, so not really expecting much
I start my IUI cycle this Friday with the U.S. If all goes well then the IUI should happen around the 9th. Last month was supposed to be my first attempt; however, I developed a cyst on one of my ovaries, which, is very common but frustrating. Sometimes it occurs with the fertility meds., but I didn't get that far. I've been taking a lot of supplements so many my body was getting used to them. Anyhow, it has to go away naturally, so, hoping it has.
I understand positive thinking - But I also know the odds are stacked against me because of my age and success rates of IUI are not as good. I am trying to think positively but it is very hard!
