@vflux33 I would think that now that your USes with RE are obstetrical, those are likely to be covered by insurance. It's worth checking. I think it's oddly sweet that everyone wants up in your vag right now. I think it's great that your OB is hoping to see you sooner so they can stay on top of things. I also think it's great that your RE wants to make sure things are rock solid before letting your graduate. Before you make any decisions, I would check if these ones will be covered by insurance.

@ivfgotthistwice Puppy!!  You're going to have a big 2018!

@GG620 Your dog is so cute! She looks so sweet.

@CutieGirlLissie Has the rash gone away?

@antoto After all of the stark white tests, there is something so damn glorious about a solid, no squinting, no inverting beautiful line.

@missydallas Good luck tomorrow! (BTW, just because you fought hard for it doesn't mean you have to love feeling like crap.  ) Cute pups!

RE: The probability of not having a miscarriage chart. If this is a reassuring tool for you that helps you get through each day, awesome. Keep at it. If, however, the worst should happen, don't let the info in this chart make you feel extra crappy.
In Kiki ruins everything news...

The asterisk this chart is missing is *If embryo/fetus has developed normally up to this point. Womp womp. My first pregnancy, I saved a screenshot that I would look at first thing when I woke up every day. So when my first US showed that the embryo had quit growing weeks earlier, the fact that, according to that chart, there was only a 2% chance of losing my baby at that point only made it worse for me. So in my follow up appointment, I asked my OB how it was that I lost this baby when there was only a 2% chance and she explained that it's only if the embryo developed normally until that point. So when mine quit growing between 5 & 6 weeks, I actually had been in the 18-10% chance of MC range.

@GG620 *TW* Being in that 3% blows hard. I still remember sometime right before the last one Googling statistics about the chance of two in a row and comforting myself with that percentage. "See? Totally won't happen!" WTF. Can't I be in the 3% of something awesome? Yes to all the things you said. I just want to be happy and to feel confident. I want to be naive AF and have no idea that anything bad could possibly happen. And then have nothing bad happen. 

@alana0613 Or maybe try to look at it as this was exactly what was supposed to happen so everything is going to be glorious. I know it's so hard. And it sucks that you want to to just be over the moon but you're excitement is dampened by fear. 

I definitely agree that PAIF doesn't cover it sufficiently. Thanks for the help today, friends. It really means a lot to me. Just five more days.

@kiki75 lol yes my vag is super popular right now.



The RE ones are def not covered. I have a HMO so anything outside the HMO is a no go-- they're very strict about it. They are I think around 250 each, so expensive but not the end of the world. MH convinced me it was worth the money since we're dying for as much info as possible.  

Please be sure to update us Tuesday-- I'll be thinking of you!

Omg THIS! I've been telling my DH I'm conditioned for bad news and just want to be ignorant - but "Naive AF" sounds so much better.
