Merry Christmas!!

Well, its a few days early but who knows when I'll be back on here to say that! We are t-minus 2 days until we leave for Juniper Springs, Ocala National Forest. I can't wait!!! I have to get a few more things for our trip but then I'm done! I'll post pics when we get back.

In working news, I am going to become the Lead Therapist!!!!! Basically, I would take practicals from the newbies coming in, and fill out their new hire paperwork and act like a liasion for the therapist to management, which I kinda do now. Anyway, I have to wait for the Owner to offer it to me with the pay and a job description, but I can't wait.

In TTC news, I'm still playing around with the insurance plans. Ugh, there is so many to choose from and they all differ. What a pain in the ass! I'm still waiting for AF to arrive so I start charting again.

Hope you all have a great Christmas with all you family and friends!!!

Oh my, it's been a while.

I am sorry. This working thing is getting in the way of my nesting time. Sucks, big time. I hope by the begining of the year I can get a new phone. I really want the new Motorola Cliq

I have T Mobile, and my contract is up for renewal in March, so I think I'll be upgrading to that one. I can surf the web and most of all, I can nest!


So, lets see.....I think I had a normal AF this month. I'm going to wait until I get another one and then I'll start temping again. Gotta get some more pee sticks too.

And I'm having to pick insurance. God, I never knew it was going to be this difficult. When I was an admin. asst. I had great insurance. I guess that's what I'm comparing what I had with what I have in front of me. My main thing is whether or not its going to cover materinty and they both say yes, just that its treated as a medical illness and gets taken out of my visits that I'm allocated for the year. Not sure how many visits I need for pregnancy either....maybe Medicad would be the better option there, ha ha ha. I'm hoping that this year, we can start trying. First gotta pay down the credit card bills, and then have some savings and then we can make the magic happen!!!

Well, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Christmas is right around the corner. I'm so looking forward to Christmas. We are going camping in the Ocala National forest, in Juniper Springs. I hope its going to be cold. We've been having a warm Winter, but it's Florida, what else is new? We are all prepared for cold weather and it better happen!

Until next time!

U/S Results

I got my copy of the u/s results as well as my bloodwork done.

The bloodwork for the HCG was <2, and anything below 5 is not considered pregnant.

The Transvaginal U/S, a.k.a dildo cam, said that I have a normal size anteverted uterus with no masses. It also said that I had tiny follicles in both ovaries. The other thing is that I have a endometrial thickness of 17 mm. Hmmmmm, ok.

The Transabdominal Pelvic U/S basically said the same thing, except the follies part. Also, the report says that the thickening could be from the recent bleeding that I had but couldn't be certain about that. Said that I was mid cycle at that point, whatever that means.

So, I guess for now, I'll continue temping and go from there. After we get insurance I might splurge on a monitior. Maybe I'm missing my window of opportunity.

If I don't post again, hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with all of your friends and loved ones.

I really hate my dr's office.

So last Friday, I finally got a hold of my dr's office....after I called and left messages. Apparently the nurse practioner was out sick. Uhhh, couldn't the front desk just tell me that?? Anywho, the u/s came back normal and fine. So I just had a really, really heavy period. I'm having her mail me a copy of my bloodwork and u/s because I have a friend that can read them....and I know google ;) So now that has all blown thru, moving on now.

Work.....oh good ole work. When I started there, I told them I need one weekend off a month to go see my step daughter. I asked for Thanksgiving weekend off and Christmas weekend off. It worked out that I have Wednesday and Friday off so all I need is Saturday and Sunday. Well I was looking at my schedule and what do you know, they have me working. Oh no!!! So I went and talked with the owner and shes going to give me those days off. Then she asked me when I was going to take up more hours....um...I'm already at 33 and that in itself is pushing it. I might add more hours to what I'm working now, but I will not add another day. I would rather have 3 days off. We'll see what happens.

Update: The ultrasounds

The pelvic one wasn't bad.....other than the fact that I had 32 oz of water in it. Just a little uncomfortable. Got up to go pee and then it was time for the dumm dumm dummmmmmm the dildo cam! She (the tech) had me reach under my gown and 'insert it' then she took over. Couldn't really see much on the screen, and it's not like I know what to look for either. I hope to hear from the dr's on Tues/Weds. Look for an update then!!

I'm not pregnant.

Which is good news. I go in Friday for a pelvic and a transvaginal ultrasound. I have to drink 32 oz of water in an hour and then I have to hold it. Should make for a fun appointment. I'm trying it today and tomorrow to see how I feel. I hope by Wednesday I get some answers as to why I was bleeding so heavy.

I'm back to work!

I thought I would never say that, but I am working. Man, oh man, am I sore! First day I got 4 clients, and of course, they all want DT, and the next day I get 5. I have a feeling that I'm going to be getting a whole lot more DT clients. One LMT doesn't like me....bc I'm the new girl and they shouldn't be hiring any new people unless they are busy. Ummm, hello? Everyday that I have worked has been busy. Whatever, its water under the bridge and I know how they work. As long as I'm making money, that all that really matters.

I hope to get more answers today as to what happened last week. Thankfully the bleeding has stopped. Still having some cramping, but otherwise I'm good. That dr's office is no longer getting my business. When I went in to get my blood drawn, I should have known that it was going to be wrong. I called for 2 days straight only for them to tell me the phelobotomis fucked up the blood draw! How the hell does that happen? So I go in Friday am and I got a different girl, thank god bc I would have had words with the other one. I ask if they can do this STAT and she tells me its up to the DR and the lab. I asked if she could call me and just let me know what is deceided. She calls and says if they got it STAT that it would be after the office is closed...fine. So I have to wait until Monday. It's too early for me to call yet, I have 20 mins.

And then, I need to call the imaging place to see how much its going to cost for a transvaginal ultrasound, i.e. dildo cam. So looking forward to that one.

I'll probably update later today or tomorrow.
