FFTC.... razzy, glad to hear you went with a respectable breeder....where I grew up there breed them to fight and had a gang of them (along with Rottweiler's) so I realize I am super cautious and prejudice against owning one for this reason. I know lots of people who own one and they are the sweetest things. I just can't personally own one.

I just typed this big long response and then accidentally deleted it lol.
Short version.. I totally understand where you are coming from. Person experiences can sway your judgement and it's the same reason I wouldn't own a pit bull. (I'm a nurse at a children's hospital and 99% of our dog bits are from pit bulls.) that's why my heart says no to pit bulls but my mind knows it's how they are bread and raised.
So, I'm feeling like the boy who cried wolf at this point.
It looks like we won't be doing IVF this year after all. Even though our new RE was very supportive of our wishes to do a freeze all cycle, our insurance still won't cover an IVF cycle without an embryo transferred, as long as there are embryos medically able to be transferred. So if there was a medical reason to not transfer (OHSS, hormone imbalance, PGS testing, etc.) then it's covered, but electively choosing to do a freeze all cycle is not. Great.
Since there are still so many uncertainties with our foster sons' case and their soon to be born sibling, we just don't feel comfortable doing a fresh transfer now. So again, no IVF this year.
IVF next year is still on the table... H still really wants to try it. But we will wait until February or March, after the baby is born and after the next court case for the boys, when we have a better idea of what will happen. In the meantime, I guess we're NTNP and just waiting to see what happens with our foster kids.
I feel silly with all of this back and forth, but like H keeps saying, we're just trying to make decisions based on the information we have at the time. Ugh. I hate being an adult.
QOTW: On Saturday, I'm meeting my sister for coffee and pedicures!
ceejay, adulting sucks. Even though you are delaying IVF for now you at least have a clear answer as to why and feel more comfortable with the new clinic so that is still huge steps forward even though you feel you haven't moved forward. And I agree with YH...you are making decisions based on the information you currently have.

Meeting went fine this morning-more of a meet and greet and tour more than anything. And our licenser brought us a copy of the license as well so that's cool. But now I shouldn't have to do much cleaning before this weekend and my In-laws being here-just do laundry and some dusting I didn't get to yet.
Now it is really just a waiting game for the call for placement(s). Currently it is more older kids coming into care but this summer/early fall it was younger kids so the next cycle could be younger kids. So now it's getting asked if we have gotten kids yet like what happened at church. I almost said do you see and with me?! But I said no, it's a waiting game and it could be today or months down the line.
As much as I want kids I'm hoping we don't get a placement until after Thanksgiving at this time. I mean if we get a call we would make it work but next week is going to be nuts with in-laws in town and them moving stuff around.

Hey guys, I'm going to just be lurking for a while, as I have disappeared regarding most things children. I am going in for my 2nd endometriosis fulguration with endometrioma removal in December. After I heal, my husband and I are going to try and scrape up enough money to go down the IVF road.
I am looking forward to my Thursday and Friday where I get to do a seminar on advanced fetal monitoring. excited to learn new things
ceejay I'm sorry you ran into a delay but it sounds like there are some good reasons (your foster case). Insurance absolute sucks and I hate it for reasons like this! On the bright side it's covered when you decide to do it.
I have nothing to major to update. I think I might start temping again to see what is going on. Cycles are looking shorter again which irritates me. The last three cycles were 23, 25, and 24 days, respectively. The last one ruined my anniversary weekend. Stupid ute.

AFM, absolutely nothing new over here. I didn't temp this cycle because I just didn't have the energy so H & I decided to just wing it. Had all the sex and that's basically it.
QOTW - We have a friend coming to stay with us for a couple of days so that will be a nice distraction from all of the shit we are currently dealing with.
I'm waiting on my ultrasound and a woman brought her crying baby on to the office. They have a no kids please policy here. Then she had to go back for whatever she's having done, and some people in the waiting room had to watch him. Fucking seriously?
She comes back out and tells the couple thanks and good luck and you'll have your own soon.

That's bull crap if there is a no kids policy. And the fact that she had strangers watch her baby!??
But I am also going to play devils advocate here and give an UO:
I have had such a struggle finding babysitters last minute for these Drs appts especially for a 5 minute blood draw. I have had to take my daughter one time to the Drs with me and it was for one of those blood draws.. I hid in the waiting room as far as possible from everyone else and kept her so busy so she didn't make a sound. Luckily I think there was only one couple there since it was so early.
With that being said, there is no policy in place at my RE.
On the other hand .. I was in the waiting room once and this woman came in with a toddler and an infant and shortly after the RE came out and she was thanking him for everything (which was nice) then he left.. then she sat down in the waiting room and nursed the baby before she left. I feel like she should of left the office (the office is in a women's hospital) and nursed somewhere else in the hospital.. not because she was nursing but just for the sake of the other couples.

I think my big thing is the tackiness of asking a couple with bags of fertility meds surronding them to babysit for her.
If your curious, like you were, I wouldn't have really thought much of it.

Eta: curtious not curious
I agree. That's not only tacky but bat shit crazy. What if someone would of taken the child? I won't leave my daughter with some people that I know let alone a stranger.
Hey y'all. I'm 7DPO (maybe) of natural cycle eleventy billion. I emailed my RE and asked her if she'd be willing to do a couple more IUIs before moving on to IVF and she said we could. At my last appointment she said we could try a laparoscopy before we do IVF since I never had one before. I asked her if she thought I needed it and she said no because I didn't have any pain or symptoms of endo. But after doing some research, I found that I could have endo or something without any symptoms so now I'm wondering if I should do the lap. I guess I'm kind of scrambling to do something out of fear of losing my insurance sometime in the near future. So right now I'm trying to figure out if I should do the lap, try a few more IUIs or just hold out a couple more months and go for IVF. Any opinions or input is appreciated!

You're unexplained, correct? I'd do as many diagnostics as possible while you have insurance since you're still doing just that...diagnosing. {{hugs}}

I still can't wrap my.mind around that. I was just shocked at first, like maybe she knows them? Nope. Just left her baby in the waiting room while she went back for whatever she was having done.

So these people watching the child.. what was their reaction like?

Honestly, I think they were just shocked and taken off gaurd, so they just went along with it.
It was the weirdest situation to witness, I can't imagine being involved in it.
