I saw on FB tonight a kid that was my resident in college had his second baby today. He's (exactly) 2 yrs younger than me. They have a newborn and a 15 mo old (so they had their first at 25, almost on the dot).
I cannot explain how wildly jealous I am. I'm actually really sad, its never really hit me before. I think C is going to have a hard time in StL over Christmas...only her sister and one cousin know about the (early) losses, and she would have been due with the first one at the end of Jan. And her cousin is 5 mo pg. Sigh.
ok, vent over.

Ugh, I am sorry to hear about that.DH & I are on a break and it is killing me b/c I want to start up with medication (it will be injectables for me) but we can not. We will not be able to afford it until January. Until now, it is charting and TI.
I was hoping to be a mom by now or at least PG or shoot at least announce I am PG during Xmas but it looks like that will not happen. Le sigh.
I know that BFP post will come very soon. Hugs to you.
Where's the dislike button? I'm so sorry.
My little cousin that just got married at the end of August is already pregnant and I found out about it on Thanksgiving and I'm sure they'll tell the rest of the family on Christmas. SUPER excited for them...but sad at the same time.
I wish so much that both of you (and Sarah) would get the news you're all hoping for so much!

thanks guys. I was kind of on edge last night for a few reasons and this really got to me unreasonably. I was also thinking about holiday cards and I'd wanted to put the announcement in them (the chemical pregnancy would have been 13 weeks at christmas) but no go. Oh well. I know on some level its for the best since there's more time for me to find a job et al now, but so frustrating.
We're midcycle again too (had to take a couple months off after the last one) and as of Tuesday it didn't look great. We'll see tomorrow; he upped her meds. I'm just frustrated since the next place after injectiables is IVF and we only have enough med coverage left for 1 round of ivf, so basically have to decide after this month (and we'd have to switch docs to get the one we're allotted on my insurance; there's no way we can go OOP). Ugh. Hopefully tomorrow will be more positive. Thanks for listening guys. Its hard sometimes because we're not really telling people IRL...
and I sure do hope we have a flurry of early 2011 bpfs from everyone who's been trying for so long!
2012 Reading Challenge
yea...basically since I'm still at my job, we're going to exhaust my meds benefits (I have 10k lifetime in fertility meds via mail order...so each $1500 pen costs $75), then move onto me. If it doesn't work out for C before that we'll reevaluate when we see what my next insurnace looks like. We have enough benefit left for 1 round of IVF meds or 2 more months of injectibles + IUI. We'll see. this cycle isn't out yet.
I know exactly how you feel. And after our discussion last night, I'm 99% confident it will not happen.
ETA: I hope this cycle starts looking up for you guys.

Emily, I hope that this cycle works out for you guys, and trust me when I say I understand completely how hard it is to go through all of this around family. I have a cousin who is currently KU with her second "oops" baby. She was 8mos pregnant at my wedding and she's now due in March with this one.
On the plus side though, your coverage is AMAZING!! We're 100% OOP at present, and although we'll have some medication coverage after our insurance changes in January, there was some clause about the meds not being covered if we were using them in conjunction with IUI or IVF .. even if we pay OOP for the actual procedures. Honestly, that makes no sense to me, so we'll have to look into that more, since we're doing our first IUI in February.
I hate that there are several of us being forced to deal with IF. It's probably one of the worst things to go through. (((GROUP HUG)))

? Lots of Luck to all of 3T/IF ?
Sarah, I know my coverage is incredible...it makes me feel guilty for complaining sometimes! I'm probably leaving my job soon so if this doesn't work, we might try the one IVF. We certainly don' thave the 20k to fork over...
I'm crossing my fingers for everyone
I really hope that you or C get a BFP very, very soon!
