What's Going On
- AF has arrived and nearly departed. I must say that I am loving the new innards. LOV-ING. I had one day of mild cramping and that is it. It is so nice! For anyone who cares, I am on CD6 today.
- Of course, the day before AF I got yet another single line on a pregnancy test. The time is ticking away..."If it's going to happen, it will likely happen in the next three to six months." I am trying to remember that there is still a chance, but damn if that isn't hard.
- We've decided to go for our next round of IVF in late June/early July. Please let this be the one that sticks and brings a healthy, happy baby at the end.
- I've had another heart attack thinking about money and how to pay for said IVF in June/July. The total we've paid for 5 fresh cycles and 2 FETs (with no insurance coverage) blows my mind--and not in a good way. It is just plain sad.
- It is state testing week at my school. I can't tell you how incredibly boring it is to watch 35 teenagers bubble in answers for 3 hours. I am slowly losing my life force, it is that bad. The worst part is keeping 28 teenagers quiet for two hours because they whizzed through the questions in ten minutes flat while the last few students finish. It doesn't help that I've been testing the most challenging class I have. (Our testing period is from 8:20 to 11:40 every day this week.) I've been leaving school spent every day.
- My mom is feeling better, thankfully, but she isn't one hundred percent back to her old self. She went to see a chiropractor that "specializes" in vertigo. The doctor wants to do 28 sessions to help get her back to her old self. For $2400. I nearly flipped out. And she wants the money up front. The warning bells are ringing in my head, telling me to get my mom away from this quack, so now I am scrambling to find her another chiropractor/acupuncturist for her to see for a second opinion.
- Saturday is my half marathon. I am still wondering how the heck I got myself into this. I know I can do it, though. (I've even trained for it!) Pictures to come soon. :-)
Overall. it sounds like things are going great. Keeping my fingers crossed that you have reproductive success soon.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you...we could buy cars and diamonds with the money we spend on infertility.
I truly hope that before my children have children that insurance coverage changes for infertility.
ReplyDeleteHalf marathon? You go, girl!
I hope your mom finds another doctor who gets her back to 100%.
ReplyDeleteWOot woot hot mama!! A half marathon?? You rock!
When my back flared up a few weeks ago, several people told me to see a chiropractor, but I have always been skeptical. I do know many people who swear by them, but....I ain't paying no 2 grand up front! So I didn't go, used massage therapy weekly, NSAIDs, and flexeril, with yoga and my TENS unit- and now I'm fine. Glad I didn't drop 2 grand for nothing!
