Hi all, I miss you ladies. I've been a bit MIA lately, mostly b/c the nausea/GI pain keeps me from wanting to spend too much time on the internet when I don't have to for work.
Mish- Fx for you.....hmm...I hate it when AF plays tricks when you are TTC, it's just not fair! I know some women don't get BFP for several weeks, so maybe this is your months. Time will tell.
Steph- Thinking of you and DH as you travel across the country for the interview. Good luck! Can you get your healthcare back easily? I do know there are programs for pregnant women (look into AIM, I think that is what it is called) to pay affordable rates to cover the cost of prenatal care. So irritating that one has to think of that.
Tynmeg- lucky that you are not totally nauseaous, but get hint's of it to remind you of the little bean! I am 10 wks on Friday. I really feel crummy 90% of the time, but oh well. I have accepted it, as nothing I try really works. I do make homemade ginger ale with club soda and ginger syrup- it is nice and refreshing, but not sure it makes a dent in the nausea.
lfrans-we have thought of names. for a girl it is definitely Anjali Samira. Both are Hindu names, though Anjali is technically a sanskrit word meaning "an offering from one's heart to the world". We are inclined toward these names given my extensive background with yoga and the philosophy. Samira means 'exalted one'. For a boy, we like "Rogan", but not middle name yet. Rogan is Gaelic, so on the opposite spectrum from the girl names. We are weird, I guess
I go in for the first of many genetic tests next week. I am not worried, but more curious since they are going to extract my baby's DNA from my blood to do testing as a first screen. Cool that this can happen.
Lenka- are you getting all packed up? I am proud of you for not symptom spotting, maybe this is the best thing. My BFP came in the midst of a move too- perhaps there is something to being distracted with the business of life that allows nature to take her course. Hopefully this is your month.
Have a great day, ladies!
our poopy medical system. Every other country I've lived in has had both public and private health care! So much better than having to choose between the two...
I have a friend, the one who had a mc and ectopic if you remember, after another ultrasound she was told that she was about to O, so she flew to her husband to BD, who was on a business trip in another country. 
They got pregnant that time! So GL in any case!
That is my strategy for this cycle.
