Amber - I'm glad the doctor said it wasn't a problem.  I was suspicious that that was the case, but it's always good to double-check, especially during pregnancy. Glad the u/s went well.  I like the picture!  You are lucky that you got a whole CD instead of just a few printouts. :)

Tara - It would be great for us to be belly buddies!  Then we'll be special, cuz everyone else got their BFP together, and we're the only ones in January. :P  As much as these laws sometimes get annoying, when I read all the questions and issues other people have PP because he's pressuring/she's not ready, etc., I'm always thankful for them.  Kind of takes the pressure off.  The annoying part is no touching, no passing stuff, etc.  But, it makes sense.  Plus, that's exactly what therapists tell couples who are having issues to do.  So I guess it is a kind of built-in relationship-protector.  Ugh, it sounds like you are really having a hard time with the clomid this month.  I wonder why it's working so fast?  Do you know what caused the power outage?

Nicole - It's really 28 days, because CD29 became CD1.  But yes, it's a good length.  How are you feeling?  Any news?

Brie - Arrgh, that sounds really frustrating.  I hope the insurance company works it all out fast.  Ugh, EYM is gross if you're bleeding.  LOL.  I know what you mean, it's really frustrating.  But, you should know that you're not alone, by any means.  Yes, at this age 6 weeks is a huge deal.  I bet those were some cute pictures.  Hope the bleeding stops for good sometime soon.  There's a herb you can take that is supposed to help, it's called shepherd's something.

Simone - I think I am also allergic to cleaning!  Unfortunately, DH doesn't have all the time in the world to help out.  Sigh.  How's everyone feeling?

Suzanne - Keep us posted!

AFM - (TMI) Last night I changed the pad because I switched underwear and couldn't put it into the new ones - it REALLY did NOT need changing.  And today I see the same small amount that I had last night.  I didn't even need to take Tylenol yesterday, because the cramping wasn't bad enough.  I am having right side cramps, a little on the left side, but AF has been here 24 hours and hasn't even soaked through one pad.  I guess we will see what happens the next few days.  But, I think I will have to count a week no matter what happens, so bummer.  Also, except for an argument last night, I have been in a great mood since Friday.  I'm not sure what's up with that.

Suzanne, I'm sorry you got a BFN.  I know you were so sure that it was going to be positive. ((HUGS))  I had a feeling all along that you were going to get a BFN, and I told myself I was just jealous.  I guess not. :(  I think you should take it step by step, sticking with just Lily for now is a good idea, but see how you feel in another year or so, when you're more settled, after your wedding, etc.  How are you feeling?  Did the symptoms go away?

Suzanne: I'm so sorry. Stinks to have all those symptoms for nothing. 

Dont have time to post to everyone, but hello hope all are doing well. I've been Mia for the last few days really bad headache borderline migraine for 2 days but just caught up with everyone's messages. 

I finally have mMy first appointment today in a couple hours. Im real excited but also so nervous. Got a very frustrating call yesterday from my drs office. Found out my insurance isn't going to reach the deductible to cover anything. Pthis my dr moved to a new clinic and how they do billing is so different them when I had my son. So I'm pretty stressed out and hoping we qualify for this assistant program. Unfortunately have not been able to get ahold of them yet. So I may still have to pay $700 just for my visit today. Not sure where that money is going to come from. ARGH!!!  Not much I can do about it, baby is coming and it will eventually get paid off just may take me awhile. 

Heather - I hear that all the time - take the month off and you will get pregnant.  But, how do you take the month off?

Suzanne - That stinks that you still have symptoms.  Yeah, it might be stress.  Still stinks. :(

Simone - How is everyone feeling over there?

Haley - I heard that in some places there are health clinics who use a sliding scale pay rate.  Is there any chance that there's one near you?  (I read it in the August issue of Parents, I think.)

Tara - What do you mean, not AF related?  I'm kind of worried, because it seems my periods are just getting lighter, and I read that that may be because I don't have enough estrogen.  Not sure how my levels would have dropped, though, because I don't think hummus (which I used to like and don't so much anymore) contributed all that much.  So, either it's IB, or maybe I need to go back to the doctor and find out why my periods are nuts.  I think it's the latter.  I guess your outage was fluke. :-/  Maybe you want to take a vacation and come over here?  That should help your stress level. :)  Not nice that they didn't call you back.  Hmph.  Maybe you can put ice cubes in your bed.  You know, instead of a hot water bottle. :D  Or just sleep with a sheet instead of a blanket (and with the AC).

AFM - I bought 2 new package of pads, because mine is running low, and because they were on sale.  I feel like I wasted my money, but I guess they'll go to use sometime or other, right?  I ended up changing just for the sake of freshness, cuz it's kind of gross not to change pads at all for 24 hours.  Didn't need to, though.  Sigh.
