Femara Friends!

[Chook]

Hey Lola, I've just done a quick read through and I've never been so pissed off!!! I'm sooo glad gramps has a ander problem. Surely if its on record they won't hand him any children!!! Good on you for staying strong and positive during what must be a heartbreaking time for you and your hubby.

 

[LolaM]

I have flex spending but it has a 2k limit. It hadnt occurred to me abt the tax deduction. I'm just tired of getting jerked around by foster care. I am glad to be helping but I want a child they can't just take away and give back to unfit family members.
Yeaaaaaah....I'm livid abt the whole situation. It's frustrating and I have no legal rights I'm just a babysitter in the eyes of the law

 

[Cridge]

Ooh - I hope gramps has a good - bad record. I really, really hope they don't let him take those kids!!

 

[LolaM]

me. too.

Lola: I know everything is still up in the air, but I am so glad that you are still fighting! Also, what great news about the discount on IVF! That is awesome!

Danni: Welcome! I hope the femara works miracles for you!

 

[Chook]

Hey girls! How's everyone travelling? It's been very quiet on here xox

 

[karenh]

We are doing ok i guess. No news on the adoption front. I'm trying to find a job because I just found out I am getting laid off and the 20th is my last day. DH was laid off in September so neither of us will have a job if I don't find one.

How are you doing? When do you find out what you are having?

 

[MMW430]

We've been good. I have another ultrasound on Tuesday, and then on the 23rd the doctor is going to check and see if I'm dilated at all. It's hard to believe on Tuesday there will only be 5 weeks to go.

Karen, that stinks about your job. It's awful no matter when to have that happen. Even worse at this time of year.

 

[karenh]

How exciting! You are getting so close!

It is hard whenever it happens. I am aslo worried about how it will affect our adoption because we won't be "financialy stable" and able to support a child, and we won't have medical insurance, all of which are required. I really hope this isn't the end of us trying to have a family. (I know I am being a drama queen)

 

[Cridge]

Oh dang Karen! So sorry to hear about your job(s)! I hope you're able to find something else quickly. Don't give up - this isn't the end!

 

[Chook]

MMW- you are so close! I can't believe how fast that has gone!!! Please keep us updated
Karen- I'm so sorry you guys are having such a crappy time. I hope you find something really fast and I agree with cridge, you should never give up hunny! Stay strong and positive xox

Afm- I'm 19 weeks and we will hopefully find out the sex at our 20 week scan on weds. Can't believe I'm half way there. I never thought this would happen for us

 

[~Brandy~]

How exciting Chook! you have any guesses on the gender?

 

[Chook]

No not really Brandy. At the start I was convinced it was a boy but I've changed my mind and started to lean more towards thinking its a girl just want it to be healthy and stay in there as long as possible! P.s they sorted out my steroids etc and I'm feeling much better

 

[karenh]

Chook that is amazing! You have some so far! I can't wait to hear the gender of your little one.

 

[Chook]

Thanks Karen! One sleep to go. How are you feeling? Been thinking of you xox

 

[MMW430]

Had an ultrasound today. Baby is weighing 8lb5oz. No particular reason - he's just big. Hoping this won't lead to an induction.

 

[karenh]

MMW: Wow your little one is getting big!

Chook, I am ok. trying to find a new job, but haven't heard anything yet. Also, no news on the adoption front. Hubby is a little discouraged. I don't blame him.

 

[Cridge]

MMW - are you measuring big, or why did they do an u/s to check? Sometimes they're off on weight. My doc thought my baby was huge, but he was actually pretty small (well, 7.3, which is small for my family). The u/s had it right on though. But my u/s tech talked to me in length about why an u/s can be off … hopefully yours is!

Karen - hang in there!!!

 

[~Brandy~]

MM there is a large % of the time that the u/s weights are off. Hopefully it's slightly off in your case so you dont have a 12lb baby

 

[MMW430]

The entire time he's been in the 95th percentile so the doctor wanted to see where he is now. I'm really hoping they're wrong on the weight.
