[threemakefive]

Amy that sounds like an exciting job! I can't make up my mind what I want to do forever lol I work with kids and always have. Ill be substitute teaching next year instead of just para work...but I can't decide if thats my forever area of employment lol

Haley I have been craving a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's, with like Amy said, fries dipped in my frosty for weeks now lol well that and Biscuits and gravy(which I am having tomorrow for breakfast, going to our favortie little diner in the morning before OH's dr appt )

Krystina...So testing at 14dpo and do you have plans for anything after that? I know you had mentioned the RE (can't remember) did they say you should do IUI or just keep doing what your doing?(Sorry my memory sucks lol )

Jaime, I feel ya, my bathroom has been a mess for weeks..but I think tongiht we might have most of it done...don't know how you did all that remodeling at once lol it drives me crazy!

 

[mammaspath]

spicy chicken samich..........yummmmmmmm!

Sunny... What do you do for a living? I'm a restaurant manager... Stressful is the name of the game! Standing for 10-13 hrs a day, dealing with young staff and their problems, making our guests happy and keeping our corporate office out of everything! Geez... Sometimes I forget why I love what I do! That's probably why I love reality tv!

I'm a social worker and work with kids In the foster care system. Your job sounds stressful too, reality tv is like comic relief for me.

Krystina, Hope your early testing brings you that BFP so you can follow through with your plan this Christmas.

Amy, that job would be very rewarding. Good luck with nursing school, all the hard work will be worth it.

Another busy day for me but I'll catch up later and post my OPK. It's finally darker today, hope it gets darker tomorrow.

Amy you need to post a new pic of your girly bump!

 

[Hayaddie]

Thanks Amy! I'm super happy with how they turned out! I'm getting ready to post the rest that I just got! Ps you are a nut with all of this school! But a nurse practitioner makes BANK!! Woot!

Krystina, you need to be a crazy tester and start testing at like 9 DPO like all of us crazies! It could be our good luck charm! Bahahaha

Jaime start posting house pics! I'm living my homemaker dreams through you!

Ps I finally got the nursery cleaned and organized today! Hopefully I get all the finishing touches this weekend... I started having noticeable contractions today! Yay!!!!!!!

May - I personally think if you can get the insurance that covers IUI for not a great deal more than what you are already paying, it might be worth it. Esp if you think you guys will be going down the IUI path in the future. Our 1st cycle of IUI was about $2,000 - we get no insurance coverage for anything - not even the bloodwork was covered. I have yet to get a bill but I am pretty sure that that is a good low ball estimate. We would have only been able to do a few cycles before we went completely broke and would have had to take out some loans.

The premium would go up about $100 a month from what it is now. The new plans will only pay for diagnostic and treatment in terms of drugs and IUI but not anything relating to IVF. I will have to pay a co-pay every time I visit a doctor/specialist as well. Would you say the whole IUI cost is more like $4500 each time after all the hospital bills, blood work, etc?

Fine. I will leave the thread. Bye.

Hey all, super busy with work lately... just got to catching up on some BnB reading.

Haley - You are a honeydew??? Time flies by too quick. The 29th will be here soon. Are you nervous??? I am so excited for you!

Kristina - I bet you are preggo this month. You just recently had the HSG and I heard that lots of people get preggo right after! I have my pelvic ultrasound this Friday and I will go back the following Friday for the results, plus to see what my blood work shows. I hope it's ok.

Jaime - please post some pictures of your renovations!

Lisa - I am sure your pea is nice and comfy in your tummy.

Amy - Do you plan on continuing to teach Zumba after the baby is born? How much more schooling will you need to become a NP?

Army - Hope you are feeling better. What will the blood work show?

AFM - Still feeling a bit of pressure on my lower left side. I am so scared. My gyno thinks that it could be a cyst or maybe an early pregnancy that didn't go through? I don't even know what that means. I just know that my mom suffered from ovarian cancer and I hope that's not what I have. I have also been very gassy lately and that's not sexy at all. I will see what my blood and ultrasound results show and then decide if I should switch insurance.

 

[Sunny skies]

Haley, must be so exciting to be so close to the end. You should post some pics of the nursery.

May, sorry but I know nothing about how insurance works in the USA. Hope you find the best plan for you. Hope you figure out what the pain is about. Have they tested for pregnancy. I would insist on further testing just in case. A transvaginal will show more than an ultrasound. Good luck.

Jamie, I'm anxious to see those pics too.

I'm posting my OPK, this one is my darkest, sorry the pic isn't very clear.

Sunny... It almost looks pos. What cd was this?

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Sunny - Get BD-ing! It looks almost positive to me. I had one just like that last cycle and when I took a digi right after, it turned out to be positive.

[Sunny skies]

Sunny... It almost looks pos. What cd was this?

That was yesterday afternoon, CD 14. I jumped my man last night. Will only see him tonight. Starting to worry, maybe I should have jumped him this morning too.

 

[jrowenj]

Sunny - looks alllllmost positive! I think if you jumped him last night and tonight you should be good to go!!!!!

OMG - i am praying i have my baby at 36 weeks so it isn't so close to Christmas!

Sorry I haven't been posting much on the thread. I have been so damn busy with this stupid house! haha! I will post some pics soon, i promise! The cabinets and appliances get delivered tomorrow woo hoo!!!

I need to catch up on the thread because I can't figure out where anyone is in their cycles

 

[krystinab]

Jamie we know you are busy...but please post piks of your bump and your house!

Hayddie girl you better get your booty in gear! You are going to have a baby in 17 days!! (Its the 29th right)

Sunny, as long as you got it in before O you should be good. FX this is your month.

KD, have you gotten a +opk yet??

Bev, hows Sophia doing?

Lisa, still feeling shitty?!

May- have you gotten any informaion about your left side pain? I am praying for you girl.

Army, no one said you had to leave...but its your choice. Happy & Healthy 9 months!

Alley, how you doing lady? I just noticed your signature and why would short tubes not be a good thing? In my brain it seems like it would take less time for the sperm to meet the egg...

AFM, so just here waiting on the 17th for my follow up appointment. I am really considering testing at 12dpo which is fairly early for me. That would be next Thursday the 11th...I am such a punk!

 

[Sunny skies]

Lisa, sorry about ms but I'm sure it's good to know that baby is Getty cozy in there.

Krystina, 12dpo isn't that early, some girls on the thread got positives on 10 and 11 dpo. Good luck, looks like your our next tester.

May, how you feeling today?

Army, any news?

Ok, so my pregnancy cyst is bigger than normal (usually no bigger than 3 cm). Mine 4.8 cm. It is also leaking a tiny bit but doctor says as long as it doesnt rupture it should be fine. There was a sac in my uterus but getting weekly ultrasounds because of the pain until we see a heartbeat! hCG went from 745 on Sunday afternoon to 1860 this morning! Repeat HCG check Friday morning and repeat ultrasound next Thursday.

Glad to hear things are ok.
