No we don't pay the drug prices, but we do pay for prescriptions. A flat rate for each script regardless of how cheep or expensive the item(s) We have 'examptions' here where you don't have to pay the precription charge. One of them is a maternity exemption Anyhow back to you, 16 weeks is usually quite a turning point, it might be that the sickness never goes, but if it does it should be soon for you x

so once you're pregnant you dont have to pay for the prescriptions? Oh that is a lovely deal! Is it decent price to pay for prescriptions otherwise? I know the US jacks up the prices of our healthcare costs in general, a 15 minute ultrasound is obviously not worth the 1900$ that they billed me for it!! Insurance pays for it but we get a statement in the mail showing what they are billing insurance... 1900$ for an ultrasound is disgusting. OH had a colonoscopy recently and they billed insurance over 6000$ and it was a 10 minute outpatient procedure with light anesthesia. It is obviously not worth 6000$.

Hubs had back surgery...it was over $15,000.00. Same day surgery...WOW!!

 

[MommyV]

wow that crazy China I'm excited for your test on Sun

Hopes I hope that nausea goes away soon for you

 

[ladybeautiful]

I'm squeeeeezing Tink, I promise....!


Hopes I used to take just one zofran too per day on most days that I needed it... didn't need the 1 every 4 hrs either. But it IS a life saver isn't it?! Walgreens used to give me the generic version called ondansetron... it was free with my insurance. My sickness only went in the 16th week like Tink said... so hang in there it might not be very long!

Lupine... !!

Morning Ding Dongs!

Have you started the day, the Kegal way? If you have not, don't loose the plot! Get squeezin, or you'll piss when ur sneezin And a 1........and a 2.......

MC, have a good day honey! I can imagine it will be a little nerve racking for a while yet, I would be anyway. x

Hopes, yes prescription charges are affordable. £7.20, although if its prescribed at the Hosptal for you its free. I think that's a fair deal. We have to option to pay for our treatment here also, and some people have medical insurance (i did for a long while, which says a lot about how I felt about NHS hospitals ) I don't know how it works with you but perhaps asking for medications to be prescribed in their generic names might work out cheaper like LadyB said, but what do I know x

hello girls

not going to stay on this morning...have to work...blah. but i wanted to say 'hi'. i feel like shite myself this morning. my allergies usually go through a worsening phase this time of year in florida, and seems to have hit especially hard this year. (that probably b/c i wasn't taking any of my allergy meds b/c they will reduce my cm, but i started taking them again b/c i'm miserable and can't breathe properly...) anyway, pretty stupid of me to quit taking them i guess b/c now i'm paying for it, and it feels like it's settled in my chest and getting the old bronchitis back. great. well, if not feeling better by monday, i'll go see the doc. some of the kids having the same problem too. plus my mom has been in hospital since tuesday...she has chronic heart condition, and we thought it was heart issues again, but turns out it's not. heart cath came back showing everything is the same there as last time, so that was good news. but she also has stents in her adrenal arteries (to the kidneys) and those are blocked, so they have to re-open them, and they found that she has gastritis, and her gall bladder is not functioning properly, so they've decided to remove it. so she'll be having surgery soon. i'm going to visit her after work today...dh is going to drive with me and we'll take the kids to visit family while we're there, so it's going to be a very long day.

i know exactly what you all mean about the pissy pants i'm the same way. so freakin' irritating, especially with my allergies as bad as they are right now. i can't get through a day without pissing myself lately it seems i nearly had a meltdown over it yesterday with dh. i had just gotten out of the shower and put on clean panties (of course)...sneeze and WHOOSH! panties ruined for the day. (of course i changed them!!!) it doesn't happen every time i sneeze of course (i'd run out of all my panties in a single day), but yesterday was a bad morning. the kids were late getting out and almost missed the school bus...my son was screaming (literally) about pain in his ankle, but it's not bruised, not swollen, no cuts...just a bunch of little things going wrong, and of course my body chooses that moment to betray me (again) and piss myself. i do kegels too...doesn't seem to help much tho i didn't handle the morning very well at all. i was an emotional wreck yesterday morning.

anyway, sorry for the long selfish post girls i'm just worn out. and very very sad about this whole ttc process. so i'm sorry i haven't been commenting on posts i'll be back to normal soon...probably after af comes. should be next thursday i believe.

 

[mothercabbage]

pk, hope your mum be ok and sending you
phoebe inboxed me on facebook and said she will try to catch up soon,she having a mega busy week and she fine,sends ...gotta dash bro be here in a little while...xxxx

 

[Jenny Penn]

PK hope things get better for you soon hunni!

Well i got another bfn this am so im assuming im out this cycle, im guessing i am 10/11 dpo (thats if i did O'd when i think i did and if by any chance i O'd later i will be out anyway as we have not really bd'd since, perhaps i didn't even O at all). I should get af on tuesday so hopefully she comes on time and leaves b4 my holiday a week today.
We have heavy snow here today so hopefully that will also disappear by next saturday and not disrupt my holiday plans either lol
Hope everyone is well x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Thanks for the update MC, I'm glad she's OK and look forward to seeing her here soon, have a great day! x

PK, you really seem to be going through it honey, everything on top of you all at once. So hard to keep 'treading water' when life is like it is for you at the moment. You one heck of a strong woman I'll be throwing you prayers up, and hoping you get a little break soon, sounds like you just have too much on your plate at the moment. Hard enough being 'mum' let alone working mum, Ttcer with problems, and daughter to sick mum Don't worry about the 'selfish' posts, if none of us talked about ourselves we would have nothing to talk about and wouldn't be able to offer each other support which like it has been said before, is what this thread is all about. Hope your day gets better honey x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Hey Jenny! holiday will soon be here eh? sorry your still getting BFN's, still early days though. I guess with the holiday on the horizon it will be nice for you to have a few drinks and relax, or at least something to take your mind off TTC so you can start afresh if this isn't your cycle. Hoping the snow doesn't cause problems for you x

 

[phoebe]
