MLK Jr. day

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope"
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

I am very disappointed that my employer has decided, inexplicably, to stop recognizing today's holiday this year. And not just because I have to work. I've worked places that did and others that didn't, but to just stop one year, is just bizarre. Reason #947528 why this place is messed up.

Anywho, I hope you like the QOTD...



We have made our WTF/next steps mtg. with Dr. S for this Thursday (3 wks post-m/c). My hCG should be very near zero by then (it was 51 last Thurs.) and I'm eager to find out what he is willing/able to test us for and what we'll need to go elsewhere to have done, if anything. I have gotten the names of two local reproductive immunologists if we need them. But I have a feeling that he'll be accommodating, so we'll see. I am actually excited to cycle again, partly because I think the only thing that will help us get over what has happened is to get pg again (and hopefully have it stick) and that now I know that IVF is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

Also, the whole one shot with insurance was a huge pressure to the last round and well we know how that turned out. We are planning, as of now, to do shared risk, which unfortunately will be like $20K OOP (eek!) for round one, but we have the "luxury" of knowing that all doesn't ride on this cycle. We'll have more chances if it doesn't work, and get a lot of the $ back, if we bomb out completely.

The acupuncture has helped a lot with the bleeding and the headaches. I will be going back again this week. :)
