@Mrs. Polish: Yesss.... just tell the truth about it, and OH BY THE WAY, someone please explain to the writers that it's not possibly for Maxi to get pregnant again only like 30 minutes after miscarrying or whatever it was. Drives. Me. Crazy!
(but all the other crazy storylines that make no sense - olivia's hallucinations for example - don't bother me at all, ha!)

@Mrs. Polish: Haha, I am catching up with yesterday and today's episodes right now! Carly shouldn't be shocked her children are shacking up with non-blood-relatives (did you watch way back when she was first on the show and hooking up with Tony, aka her stepfather?). OK enough GH rambling from me....

I'm feeling really down. We went on vacation last week and one of our dogs got sick and had to go to the emergency vet. It turned out he was fine but all the money to do our HSG is gone. It's the only test I really want to do because its the only thing the doctor suspects is wrong as all my blood work looks great. I was really hoping to have some answers and now we are going to have to wait another few months.

Hi ladies Hoping you all are well! I hit 12 weeks yesterday, which is pretty exciting. I'm really looking forward to my NT scan next week, when we will hopefully get to see the babe. I hope you all don't mind that I still pop in here every week. I love to see how everyone's doing!
@MrsTal: I'm so sorry that the pup got sick Emergency vets are priiiiicey. Hoping you get to have your HSG soon.
@brownie: I'm really excited for you!
@alie: hoping for good news for you soon!
pomelo / 5000 posts
@MrsTal: so sorry to hear about your sick pup and finances situation. Are you positive your insurance won't cover any of it? My insurance said it only covered some family planning, no fertility, but I've been surprised at just how much has been covered. I think the RE billing folks can be pros at getting as much covered for you as possible. I'm sure you've already asked your office this, but thought it would be worth sharing my experience.
@Sweetooth: glad to see you drop by here and that things are going well!
clementine / 901 posts
@Happygal: I've called like 3 times with the exact coding my RE gave me for the procedure and every single person has said my policy doesn't cover it or anything IF related. I hate our insurance so much. I may try to enroll with my jobs insurance but the policy doesn't say much about IF coverage.

What type of work do you do? Tech support for educational software.
Do you like your middle name? (Share if you're comfortable). My middle name is my mom's maiden name (which she uses again now that she's divorced). It used to annoy me, but now I don't mind it so much. I have 2 last names now so I don't use it much.
What is the first thing you would do if you won the lottery?
I'd get a bigger place. Our apartment is barely big enough to hold all our stuff, and it would be nice if with DH could move around more in his wheelchair.
What is your guilty pleasure television show? Judge Judy - haha! I love watching her lay into people.
What is your dh's best quality? He has a great sense of humor. So many one-liners, he always makes me laugh
I have an update. I found out last week that I do have a uterine septum that needs to be surgically removed. I'm having the surgery next week. I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited because after that we'll have a chance to try IVF.

@macintosh: I know a girl who was on that show! Funny story!
That is exciting news! Do you have a time table?
pomelo / 5228 posts
@LovelyPlum: We're more than happy to have you stick around here, friend! It might also be helpful for you to resurrect the Pregnant after IF thread? Since there are some things there that we just don't have experience in. Glad to hear you're doing well
nectarine / 2600 posts
What type of work do you do? I have my own pet care business, and I walk a few dogs on a daily basis, and board dogs in our home when owners go away. I also do cat visits.
Do you like your middle name? (Share if you're comfortable) It's ok. It's Mary. My paternal grandmother's first name.
What is the first thing you would do if you won the lottery? Scream! lol Go on a vacation! Move! DH would probably say invest...
What is your guilty pleasure television show? Oh man I watch a LOT of TV. Not sure I feel too guilty about any of it, lol. Maybe Switched at Birth? Or Awkward?
What is your dh's best quality? Hmm, well aside from the fact that he's the "grown up" one with a real job and smart about money and all that stuff...he's my best friend! He puts up with me! He never says a word when he comes home and the place is still a mess and I really haven't done anything all day. He cooks on the weekends. He loves me

@raintreebee: oh no, that's so sad about Spaniel I was looking forward to meeting her next month/November. Is she still on FF? I hate that she left here!
@justdarling: I like Teen Mom too, but the dudes on there, yeesh...They fill me with a rage.
@macintosh: Good luck with your surgery!
Oh yeah, just to add: I'm 3 or 4 dpo,(ff's not sure, and neither am I!) 5 dpt, so officially in my TWW. I'm not testing out the trigger. I'll just wait to see if AF arrives.
pear / 1786 posts
@TheSwissWifeStyle: Good luck!!! Hoping the rest of your TWW passes quickly'
@macintosh: I'll be thinking about you & hoping that your surgery goes well!
pomelo / 5000 posts
@TheSwissWifeStyle: I think your business sounds like so much fun. Did you do this back in the states as well? I'm so grateful to have places where my dog can stay and I know she's happy and safe. How do you handle dogs that tug like crazy on walks?
@MrsTal: that is really frustrating--so sorry. I would encourage you to check with work insurance though--like I said, my insurance explicitly said they did NOT cover fertility treatments, and yet we've paid verrrrry little. Oh my gosh, hope I didn't just jinx myself right now.
I'm nearing the end of my TWW. I have zero hope for a pregnancy, and feel okay with that. I think b/c my lining showed signs of an improvement and I have a plan (two more cycles trying Femara), I'm feeling calm.

What type of work do you do?
I work in government/politics.
Do you like your middle name? (Share if you're comfortable)

He has a great sense of humor and he is so smart. I love both of those qualities.

@macintosh: Good luck with your surgery!!
I think that DH and I are going to try another clomid + IUI in October. I have to travel a bit for work, so the only way we would cancel is if the timing is off, but I think we'll be fine. I don't have a lot of hope since the last two didn't work, but still...FX!

@Mrs.Someone: we were just talking about that thread! It would probably be a great idea, especially with how hot the IVF thread has been this past month
nectarine / 2600 posts
@Happygal: No, I only started doing it when I got here. It's pretty fun, I enjoy having dogs in our home. There's not much I can do when I get a dog that is a "bad" walker. And there are a few! My arms are sore just thinking about it. I like to try and suggest that owners get a gentle leader, but I don't want to come off bossy. Otherwise, when I'm walking the dog, I try to correct it if it's not walking well, just by giving a little tug on the leash and I make a sharp noise with my mouth, to snap them out of it. And then when they are doing a good job of walking and not pulling, I make sure to praise them for how nicely they're walking! lol

What type of work do you do? Daycare. Not as fun as it seems
Do you like your middle name? (Share if you're comfortable). I like it - I have my mom's middle name
What is the first thing you would do if you won the lottery? Not tell anyone! Haha. Pay off student loans, pay off the house, renovate the house, pay for IF treatment ... I would stretch that money as far as I possibly could!
What is your guilty pleasure television show? Ghost hunting shows. I watch a few of them - so ridiculous, but I can't stop
What is your dh's best quality? He's really even-tempered and laid back, which is awesome because I'm not. He's really funny too
pomelo / 5228 posts
*Sigh* I'm 90% sure one of my closest friends is pregnant (I know she's been TTC for a few months). Another close friend also had suspicions, so we agreed that its very likely. I'm super happy for her, but I was supposed to be the next one pregnant. Also, I think she will be due very close to my 2nd m/c due date. I want to get out and have lunch with a friend, but she is the one I would usually call and I don't want to make her tell me before she's ready. Blah, thats all really. Happy Friday?
pear / 1556 posts
@Mrs.Someone: I know that feeling all too well! It's so hard because you are happy for your friend, but sad it's not you! *HUGS*
nectarine / 2433 posts
@Mrs.Someone: Sorry I know how that feels all to well. I think I am in the same position with a good friend of mine and all I can think is......NOT FAIR (said in a whiney toddler voice) hahaha! No advise just sympathy
pomelo / 5228 posts
@Sunshine1810: @mrswin: Thanks ladies, I know you all understand. I wish we were all in the same city to meet for lunch and whine together! I ended up going to the gym with Glee on my iPad and I'm now feeling better
BTW, I'm going to change my guilty pleasure TV to Glee! Last season wasn't very good, but this first episode so far is. I feel way too old to be watching it though...
pomelo / 5000 posts
@Mrs.Someone: I was just thinking it would be great if we could all get together for lunch! I'm sorry to hear that about your friend. It's NOT FAIR.
I spent about 30 minutes looking at a picture of a friend on Facebook recently. I was convinced she looked pregnant and was preparing for her to tell me her news. Such a weird mix of emotions.
