Mako - good luck with your FS appointment - i know it's difficult working out finances around all of this stuff - it's supposed to be easy and inexpensive to get yourself UTD - the expense is supposed to happen AFTER the baby is born (and for the rest of it's life!) - hopefully you won't need the IUI, but if you do, i hope it's a quick process for you - we've been pretty realistic in both the time and money we're prepared to actively commit to our ttc effort - time is probably more of an issue for us at the moment as DH is a fair bit older than me, but then his age isn't that much of a factor! thankfully, even though DH is only working locally at the moment as a casual truck driver, if we need an injection of funds, he's still mates with a few of his old bosses - and they'll give him a few weeks casual long distance work (he can earn up to four times what he's on at th moment, but would prefer to be home every night - he'll only do it again if we need he extra funds for additional treatment) - they're all calling him every couple of weeks to see if he's bored driving around here yet, so it won't take much to get the extra work - we'd just have to make sure that the time he's away is the time we take a TTC break - would hate to find i've got a nice big follie about to pop and realise he's three states away!

Milly - hope you can find out what's going on with your body (although, by the sounds of it your DH might think it's christmas again already and not want you to go investigating!)

BW - so glad you had a good appointment today - hope tomorrows one is just as helpful for you.

as for me - painting kinda went by the wayside - forgot i had a dentist appt this morning, and what started as a general check up ended up as a filling - not happy! i have had a bit of a queasy stomach since FS increased metformin dose last month, and i just felt horrible the whole time so decided to take it easy this afternoon - DH has just called to say he'll be home soon - so the painting will be starting again very soon (i'm so glad painting like this realisitically only has to happen every ten years or so!)

to everyone else, hope you're having a great day (or at least a tolerable day - hope you're feeling ok Chelle).
