Winter 2010-2011 Cycle Board

[kynlee]

Girls- Sorry I have to catch up on personals so I will be reading the last few pages tonight.. Just had a quick question for everyone... My work is giving us a choice of two different health plans one is what I have now just more money each week the 2nd plan is same cost as last year just higher deductible, but once deductible is met I dont pay any out of pocket... Its called HSA ( BCBS) has anyone ever heard of this plan or is anyone on this plan??? It seems to good to be true so I am looking for anyone that may know it... Plus my work is giving me half the deductible for switching over which is even better news... HELP lol

penny-the 31 will be here before you know it. try to remain calm you are pupo
rio,leorira- af should be here in a week and a half is it does not get messed up. you know when you want it, its late. so am looking at the first week of feb.i was hoping to be preg b4 36 but that may not happen coz my bd is the 14 of feb. so out my dreams again.oh well i will buy my meds end month then it will feel real again. back to yoga for relaxation. oh i checked into acupunture and the lady that does it charges 250 a session. oh my that is out of my lig for now. yoga here i come.
kynlee-i dont know much about insurance except that mine sucks big time. i have ncbcbs which covers nothing. if that insurance covers ivf i would go with the one that covers the most.
sweatpea- oh poor cat. oh well she will be fine. okay poas pushers knocking on the door, fingers crossed for good news tomorrow,
lauren- gosh i wish i had an answer for you. those follies are stubborn but they might surprise you. Am just like the others why so long? what does the doctor say about it? if they screwed up, will they give you credit towards another cycle or is insurance going to take care of it? sending positive vibes your way. dont give up on the follies yet.

kynlee - i've had HSA option for insurance before. it's a Health Savings Account. you put money into your health "savings" account and you can use just like any savings account. but you have to meet your deductible first. lets say you go to the ER and the insurance company only covers 50% and the rest is up to you. you can dip into your Health saving account to pay the rest of it. I hope that helps

[penny100]

Thank you ladies for helping me to feel better about the symptoms. All good information to know. This board is so helpful. I very much appreciate it.

Kat - Good luck tomorrow with your test. You are so brave. I am a big chicken! I don't want to test. I am afraid of the answer. I will say extra prayers tonight for you.

RioGirl - Sorry you had to go through the OHSS. Was that a scary experience? When I had read about it, I was a little worried about it.

Leorira - Good to know! So after all this work, I could get a BFN & on top of it AF will be nice & heavy. Can't wait for that! I totally agree with your position too. God is always with you.

Sleep well everyone. Get the rest you need.

hopeisallihave- Your follies are sounding Great Grow follies grow

Lou- So glad all went well with Et... Congrats pupo The pink butterflies must be good luck

Tammy- Grow follies grow

Sunshine- so sorry (hugs)

Penny- Thanks for sharing that story about your pastor... God can make miracles happen, its all in his hands

Lauren1171- Are you from Ri or MA?? I goin Providence RI, I wanted to look into Boston but the drive would be too much with all my appts with the traffic but if this cycle doesnt work I may look into Boston Tufts...

Jkulab- I had ohss, all i can say is drink gatorade lots and lots... It will be your best friend... If you notice weight changes call your DR... I called my regularly to be monitored... Thanks for the info on HSA, What they are telling me is after I pay the $3000 deductible the treatments are paid meaning I can go for another treatment at n/c if it doesnt work and I do it this year... it sounds too good to be true since I been paying for the last two times..

sorry for those I missed... Baby dust to everyone

[Sweetpea614]

Just popping on really quick. It was a BIG FAT NEGATIVE.

I think I'm done testing till my blood on Friday.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Kat

[Lauren1171]

Kat - So sorry!!! Are you going to try again right away?

Kynlee - I am from MA close to Boston, and too lazy to drive into Boston all the time.

[sunshine.12]

Kat- I was checking super early to know your update. Sorry to hear that it wasn't good. But be strong. You never know. Anything can happen till beta. Praying for you.

[nwquiz]

sweatpea- am sorry its still early. let me keep my fingers crossed for you.

[penny100]

Kat - Very sorry to reaad this! Your BETA is not until 1/28, maybe it's wrong. I am hoping! Take some time & rest today & surround yourself with happy things. Take care of yourself.

[HopeIsAllIHave]

Kat - so sorry to hear about the negative. Please keep your PMA till your beta this Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

[Sweetpea614]

Thanks guys. I am trying to keep the positive PMA. Once I had a negative urine at the doctors and they did my blood at the same time to make sure and it came back at 32. I keep trying to remind myself of that. But I'm seriously considering changing RE's if I'm not pregnant for my next cycle.

Kat

My RE said do not POAS until 12dpt. ANything before will more than likely bring a false negative. She said the emotional roller coaster isnt worth it. I go for my beta on the 28th and am trying to resisit POAS for that very reason. SO hold on....it is very likely you may still get that BFP. even with a day 5 transfer it takes a few days for implantation to be completed!! Believe me I am right there with you!!! I am sick with worry and fear! We will get through this!

lou wooohoooo mama you are PUPO!!!! What a crazy rollercoaster of a cycle you had, but I have a good feeling about your one lil perfect embie!!! now get back to bed! when is your beta?? I have everything crossed for you my love. xoxoxo

lauren i'm so sorry this cycle has sucked so far. I praying really hard that you dont get canceled. Its just not fair. My body never did what i wanted it too, so I know how annoying, and heartbreaking it can be. I'm here if you need to talk/ vent. xoxo my dear friend.

tiger Hi hun!!! How are you? I dont know if i missed your update, but i saw all the DS drama, and i'm glad it all worked out the way you felt was the best!! this is TOTALLY going to be your time girl!! Are you doing the IUI this week? i have everything crossed for you.

tammy You are seriously a machine. you just keep going and going! I'm sure if i still had insurance i would be doing the same thing, although i'm pretty sure my RE would tell me to give up at this point...are you stimming already?? grow follies grow!! How is zack enjoying all the snow?? I cant wait to see your update!! xoxo

leora Hi hun! I saw last time i posted that you said hi, so i wanted to say hi back! since you stalked me back in the day I'm gonna stalk you too!! You are such a strong woman!! just know that there are a ton of us out here that think you are amazing. so when you feel down remember that!! Your trip to greece looks like so much fun. I'm glad you had a great time.

to all the girls Thanks for letting me crash. I wish you all so much luck on your cycles. I cant wait to see you all get your BFP's!!


*****much love always*****

[CJinNC]

Kat, I agree with the other ladies... I don't trust anything before 12 dpo. Everyone is different.

Lou, congrats on being PUPO... fingers crossed for that beautiful 8 cell baby you have!

Lauren, I'm sorry this cycle isn't working right. It is such a same to waste the meds... I really hope the doc figures things out for you.

Leora, I'm getting excited for your next cycle. See, you didn't have me here to cheer you on before, but now that I am... its sure to be a winner! (how's that for PMA? ) But honestly, you are due some good news and I am sure it will be here soon!

Hmmm... football... never been a fan of the sport but I do like those snug satiny pants they wear. I usually pick my choice by which uniform I think looks nice, or which colors I like better. I'm more of a baseball fan, with soccer and basketball close behind. Football is too much of a grunt sport.

I went in for my baseline scan this morning and everything looks good. No cysts and about 15 antral follicles, with most being on my left side. I'm happy about that because when I got pregnant before it was on my left so I know that tube works well. The right is my dominant side and even though my hsg showed both tubes cleared, I am skeptical. Sooo... trying to be hopeful.. until I got home and realized either the doc or the nurse can't add. I told them exactly what quantities I had of my different meds so they could come up with the right concoction and when I came home I realized they put me down for too much medicine- more than I have. So I have to get them to adjust. I go back next Monday for another u/s. Grow follies grow!
