TTC #1, CD#18, C#18

I missed another week! It seems like the weeks go by so fast and before I know it, it's Wednesday night -- too late to submit the weekly journal. So, I will try to get you caught up on our progress -- which is not as I would like! Still no baby!!!!!! :( I have missed all of my friends from the board. It really has made a difference in my outlook on this whole thing if I haven't been lifted up by these wonderful people.

I am currently on my second cycle post-laparoscopy. The first cycle post-laparoscopy came pretty quickly and was VERY painful. My gynecologist said that AF came so quickly because of all the manipulation of my ovaries. So -- and this is the best part -- 31 days later, AF visited again!!!!! I was absolutely shocked! She sneaked in and out without me really knowing she was there. Wow, what a difference it makes having that endometriosis out of there. I am just still in amazement that it was right at 31 days!!!! Do you know what this might mean???? You guessed it -- I think I may have ovulated!!!!!!!! I am not going to get my hopes really high, because I hate the recovery time of the negative tests! But, I am currently on CD#18 and I think I just ovulated again! I had all the right signs -- tender breasts, EWCM, slight blemish break-out, etc. I have my fingers crossed! We have really been trying hard to make it happen on our own!

Now a really sad note: I may have to be leaving my RE. It turns out that my insurance has sent me a bill for all bills up till now, including my surgery. They had been paying, but all of a sudden they've stopped. We are just devastated. It does say that my insurance will not cover fertility treatments. However, they WERE paying because of the RE's coding. Now that my surgery is over, they've requested all medical records and realized that I am seeing him for fertility reasons! Here's my gripe -- how can they come back and charge me for appointments already covered?? Also, my laparoscopy was because of the cysts. How do they know that I didn't have cancer or something?? They are screwing us around. They basically have told us that ANYTHING having to do with my female parts won't be covered because of seeing my RE!!!!

We will seek legal consultation if the surgery is not covered. I am just sooooo sad because this is it for us. If they don't cover it, there goes all of our savings. No adoption, no fertility. treatments. It means that it's over for us!!!!!!!! Please, if anyone has had any experience in this matter, write with some suggestions.

I will stop this whining! We will have to do what we have to do! But, we plan to fight this until the end!!!

I hope that there is good news all around this month! Thanks for all of the responses -- even when I don't give an entry! I love you guys!

Hugs and PG ************** dust!!!!
