hopeful - hang in there with the m/s..i'm sorry nothing is working for you. i wish we could just stay in bed for the first tri! we stocked up on crackers and a bunch of different foods because I never know what is going to sound good! oh, that worked out so perfectly with your insurance..it was meant to be!

fertilitysocks - first off, i know the pain of AF...mine hurt so bad every month! i hope you feel better. please try and stay positive..you have one little frosty that is counting on you! i know it's easier said than done, but when the time comes you need to tell yourself that it is going to work!! feel better!!

marthac - i hope your symptoms are pg ones! when will you POAS? to you!

maybe - you will never lose hope because of DH...baby b is a fighter, just like his daddy!! my dh and i also said a prayer for you all, stay strong!! you next u/s is friday so hang in there!! my mom never had m/s either...so i hope mine will not get worse than it is!

afm - well, i feel a little bit of light cramps today and a little tugging...like things are going on in there...i know cramps are normal but i still get a little scared. my work is having a cinco de mayo potluck and i can smell the food and it is making me sick! i put some of my lotion under my nose, but it isn't working!!! hope you all have a great day!!!

Hi Mery - I was so craving the Mexican last week...the cafe had a mexican feast today..needless to say I had to leave..it made me so queasy. I did have a Turkey wrap and I feel ok. Now I'm just tired LOL! I had twinges every now and then like little cramps. I am having more of an issue with constipation (sorry TMI)....You have your u/s tomorrow right? Good luck!

mery - I am sorry..I confused you with someone else maybe nascar...I am so afraid to take anything at all...but I will eventually have to do something...maybe some prunes. I had raisins in my oatmeal today..maybe that will help...Food issues are so strange lately. My boss just asked me what the "verdict was" and I told him...he asked when I was going to tell everyone else on the floor...I said I guess they will figure it out that I am not getting fat when I start wearing maternity clothes LOL!

Cathi - I can't wait to hear those numbers. I've got my fingers crossed!!!

Hopeful - I too have had some trouble with constipation. If it isn't one thing it's another. Anyways I bought some fiber one bars, and some prunes (Gerber Baby Food) Lol!!! It seems to be working fine, and I feel a lot better with the m/s if I'm not constipated. I hope this helps.

I have been drinking Smart Source Light Plum juice (a nice way of saying prune juice) and it only has 60 calories per serving and it's not all thick like prune juice. It kinda tastes like cran. juice...pretty good. And it does the trick for me just like prune juice!

Cathi-good luck ! I am in my 2ww too!

Wow you guys have been busy today.

Cathie I can't wait to hear your beta! I'm sure it will be good.

I had m/s today too, but I put on the bands and eventually got over it. Ironically, I have not craved mexican food, but I've now had it for four days. After all today is Cinco De Mayo.

The insurance laws vary from state to state. When I lived in Texas I found out that it's considered a state with infertility laws, but the law is PRETTY STUPID. The law basically is, Insurance companies HAVE to offer fertility treatments to companies, but companies don't have to take the insurance. We did our first treatment there. I researched the laws after that and we moved here to MA. MA's laws require that if maturnity is offered, so does fertility including IVF. I've been pleased with the insurance here. I too am donating my meds, but my clinic made it hard for me to do it. They kept telling me it's against the law to redistribute them. I was like really, who better than a doctor to give them to client's. My meds cost $5,000 the first round, it would be crazy for me to let all my meds expire because I'm pregnant now.

Martha I hope those are symptoms toO! I can't wait to hear your beta on Sunday!

I hope everyone is doing good today.

I have to go finish the tacos for my hubby.

holding - hi girly! glad you are doing good and that the bands helped you today! that's crazy about the meds...i mean, they should be glad you want to give them to someone who needs them! they take them at my RE's..they probably check them first, but they definately take donated meds!

Hip Hooray for the wrist bands. I can finally feel normal again. The only problem with the wrist bands is people are asking me why I'm wearing them. I had to tell a little white lie...oh well.

Hopeful12...Like you, I'm not a big fan of red meat. I usually get my protein from peanuts and turkey burgers. Yummy! Also, your right about not getting your stomach close of being empty.

Mery71...I know what you mean by smells. I get grossed out easily if something smells nasty.

Marthac...I'm going to make my DH run to the store again to pick some plum juice. Boy, I am going to love the next 8 months.


Holdingmybreath...It does not seem right with the medication. My RE said that they do not deal with donation of medication or helping women get medication from other women. It does not seem fair. Like many of the women on the site, I had to pay out of pocket.

Cathi025...Congratulations...it sounds like a positive.

Chodori's_angel...I was reading some where that constipation is common. I have not had it yet...knock on wood.
