Feeling a bit crampy today af due in a week. Where is everyone else in their cycle

 

[HappilyTTC]

Happily i am so so sorry for what u are going through. Big big hugs to u xxxxxxx

Thank you so much.

Oh happily!!! that is horrible. Have you made a decision are u going to try for a few more or have the surgery? What does your other half say?

We are not sure yet. I am still thinking about a second opinion, but I don't know when I will, if there's time, or if it's needful. My honey just wants me better and he wants "it" out of me sooner rather than later. He is supportive of the hysterectomy, but we are both kinda going through a mourning period.

I have a lot of emotions right now.

 

[ladyluck84]

I'm not surprised it is a big decision to have to make especially to come to terms with if the decision has been made for you. Thinking if you at this horrible time

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

[HappilyTTC]

Doing good. I am still at home due to this whole shut down thing. They really need to get it together so I can get back to making money.

How are you?

 

[ladyluck84]

Happily what shut down thing? I'm happy it's FRIDAY!

 

[Nina83]

What shut down thing?
Happily, I can't stop thinking about you Sending you guys so much love.

Where is Cath?!

Mrs.B, hopefully O is soon!

 

[HappilyTTC]

The government shut down in the states. All government employees are on furlough; if you are "essential", you work, but you don't get paid. Only law enforcement officers in my agency were deemed "essential" so I had to train a few to do my job until this furlough is lifted.

I am hoping it only lasts another week!

Thank you so much, Nina!

 

[ladyluck84]

Wow I didn't know that. How come?

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Happily sorry the 'shut down' is affecting u. I know about it, its all over the news here in uk.

Im ok thanks ladies. Looking forward to a positive opk and trying really hard
Xxx

Basically, our government has shut down until the FY 2014 budget is approved. Problem is, Obama implemented the Affordable Care Act (about health care) which was passed into law. Now, the Republicans are attempting to show their lack of support for the law by putting language into the budget to defund the law. Democrats won't go for it, so those of use in federal employment, along with those who reap benefits from federal agencies, are affected until a budget is passed.

The time off has been nice, but if this thing stretches too long, my husband and I will really feel it. At this point, since we don't have children, we haven't felt it yet, ya know?

I got a ton done these last two days! I had a plumber come fix our plumbing and had some repairmen come fix our patio doors, and had a couch and chair we ordered a month ago finally delivered. I have made the most of it, but I need to go back to work.

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

What do u do for work? X

 

[ladyluck84]

Wow! so are they still paying people that work for the government? we have had a fair amount if strike action in England recently but nothing to that extent

 

[ladyluck84]

Cath where are you?

 

[Nina83]

Oh wow Happily, that sucks, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know you worked for the government.

 

[HappilyTTC]

I work in Human Resources for the Department of Homeland Security.

Well, the House of Representatives signed HR3232 into law and the Senate agreed. That means we will receive retroactive pay when we return to work. Thank goodness! Our President just needs to sign it now, but they are pretty sure he will.

How is everyone doing today?

 

[ladyluck84]

Thought everyone had disappeared from this thread... Af due in 3 days and I'm pretty convinced she is on her way!

 

[Nina83]

That's right, I remember you said you worked in HR, but didn't know it was for the government. I'm glad it looks like things are starting to get sorted out.
Are you for the new health system?

Lady, I'm still here! It is quiet
15dpo today, no sign of AF. I'm praying this is the month. I have a good feeling. Didn't POAS since Saturday, so I feel real proud of myself
Tomorrow is our anniversary and I just want to celebrate another happy event.
