One more thing. Our caseworker also told me that she heard through the grape vine that our adoptive daughter's biological father had passed away. That is so sad, he is the one person that our daughter was hoping to reconnect with when she turned 18. If she hears this news it is REALLY going to add to her emotional problems! Well, enough said. Check in later.

Ok, it's me again. I guess I am the only one in a talkative mood today. RE's office just called and they want me to do one more round of clomid, which I agreed to for a couple of reasons. I just asked what that cost of the injections would be and she told me $800 to $1000 for the cycle. My insurance doesn't cover one cent of that. And, if I am going to pay that money for the meds, I want to do IUI with it. So I am going to do the clomid and then take a month off. Two months should be enough time to get $1500 together so we can give it one good BANG!! You know, I was figuring about $350 for injections! I need better insurance gosh darn it!!! And then too, not knowing if we are going to get this boy or not... I am in kind of a "wait and see" mode. Ok, I have rambled about stuff long enough!!

Lori, how exciting for you about getting a child!! When you share w/ dh and make your decision let us know as I am sure you will. That is really some exciting news! They dont give you a lot of time to think about it, do they! Very sad about your adoptive daughter's father. Do you know if he passed away from something natural or otherwise? I agree w/ you about doing injections paired w/ IUI if you are going to be paying completely out of pocket. Good call and good luck w/ Clomid again this month. Its really sad so many insurance's dont cover this stuff. Tracy, your Dr appointment is on Wednesday right? We have some exciting and hopefully positive stuff coming up for all of us. Lynn, you will be starting your injections tomorrow right ? Did you get all your meds and everything you need? d, hang in there. We have all had those same feeling before, and not that it makes it any easier, but just know that one day you will be the one having the baby. Its the only thing that keeps us going. Get your mri scheduled so you can move forward with this. EMM, where are you and what course of action are you taking this month ? Anything different? Nothing new with me, hoping my appointment tomorrow w/ the RE goes ok. I didnt even call them this morning. I got over my paranoid feelings about not being monitored enough and will talk to my RE about it tomorrow morning. Right now, I am just praying for follicles that are good, fat, and ready!

Can someone please start a new thread who hasnt already??!!

I would start the new thread, but I have NO idea what I would call it. If I think of something cute I'll start it. How about, "Shots Galore"? Just kidding!!!! Lori, I want to know what fragile X is and what that means for you. I am happy for you to have this opportunity, but scared since I don't know what that is. Kids like that need mommies too though, so don't take my fear the wrong way. CC-my appointment is Wednesday. I can't wait. It seemed like it would never get here. You know I was all bummed about losing six of my clomid pounds then getting stuck there, but over the last few days I have noticed how my body has changed. I suddenly have renewed enthusiasm for this whole trainer thing. Well, my niece is gone...I miss her already. I had a great time having her around. The house feels a little empty today. She is such a great kid and has buttloads of potential. Where is Emm and LULU???? I am worried. "D" are you OK today?.......thinking of you! JCR--how are you feeling? Has the morning sickness subsided yet? Injections ladies: sick of shooting up yet, or looking forward to it??? I really hope DH wants to go straight for IVF, I am just scared to go through so much month after month. I realize IVF may not work either, but I don't want to go broke and then end up needing IVF. Fear, fear, fear......gonna go lay down for a little while and ponder where all this fear is coming from. I think it's because the clomid wacked me out and I'm afraid to keep feeling like shit and failing at this. Check back later. BIG HUGS!!!!!

Here's a name: "Baby Wishes and Diaper Dreams".......let me know if it sucks....don't hold back girls.

Tracy, go for it with the new thread! I like it and you have my vote. I'll just be happy for a new thread and a fresh start. I meant to google fragile X and forgot, but will do it when I am done with this post. Tracy I am excited for your appointment this week too. Try not to get anxious about the future (I know, I know, who am I to talk!)..Your new Dr may have a completely different plan for you as to what he thinks is best. I think after Wednesday you will have a much more clear path mapped out and it will make you feel better. As for the injections, since Lori is doing Clomid again its just Lynn and I..I fall into the "sick of shooting up" but Lynn probably falls into the other catagory since she has yet to start. I would shoot up meds every day of my life if I got a baby out of it, dont get me wrong (I just heard on the news Gwenyth Paltrow had her 2nd today!) but I am ready to get to the IUI. Its just like any medication, it takes a little out of you is all. Tracy, my brother is 23 and when he comes for the weekend or a few days (he lives in Colorado) when he leaves, the house feels so empty. I know exactly what you are feeling. Its like some of the fun, young, energy gets sucked out with him.

OK, I did it.....the new thread is up and titled Baby Wishes and Diaper Dreams.....hope to see you there!
