@heatherdubrow I know I said this in WTO but I am STILL SO EXCITED FOR YOU!

Also sorry I disappeared after getting ready for Wine Down Wednesday. I had a glass of wine and my H came home and I attacked him (in a sexy way, of course, although it probably looked more like this).

NYTino24 · February 2017

@heatherdubrow Fingers crossed! Do you have a beta scheduled?

heatherdubrow · February 2017

Just got back from the transfer! It was really cool we got to watch the embryo go into my uterus on ultrasound. (Actually it was an air bubble placed next to it since the embryo is microscopic). Everything went well!
beta is scheduled for Sunday march 5th.
We shall see if I make it that long without poas!
Thank you everyone for your well wishes and positive vibes!

NYTino24 · February 2017

@Heatherdubrow That's my birthday and I would love to celebrate with someone else's BFP! (AF or a BFP is due for me that day...eek!) One of my friends is transferring that day. Good luck!!

wabash15 · February 2017

@heatherdubrow Congrats!!! I'm so glad you got to watch! I hope that little emby snuggles in for the long haul!

heatherdubrow · February 2017

@NYTino24 so cool!

@wabash15 thank you!

mschanandlerbong1214 · February 2017

Eeeeek!!! That's so exciting @heatherdubrow!!! Crossing all the things for you!!!!

BertieMeetsGertie · February 2017

So, I don't know what the f*ck I did to the universe, but here's my day:

CD1, now on cycle 10 and month rollover to 9, and our home warranty company telling us they will only give us a credit of $350 to "repair" our 30 year old furnace that's leaking carbon monoxide. Oh, and that credit is only good if you go through one company, whose estimate by the way was $4k higher than the first estimate we received. WTAF!

I will take any good karma you can spare. Thanks!

dragonfly87-2 · February 2017

I have to ask, is it wrong to feed DH almonds after reading an article that they may improve sperm quality? Turns out he likes them...and I just keep handing him a few every now and then.

I don't know/think there is a concern with current quality, but I had some in the fridge and figured it couldn't hurt

dragonfly87-2 · February 2017

@heatherdubrow: Glad to hear it went well! FX for your beta on March 5!

KatieEl · February 2017

@heatherdubrow glad to hear the transfer went well, crossing all the fingers for you!

@dragonfly87 if that's wrong I don't want to be right. I do the same thing with pumpkin seeds (I heard the zinc was beneficial?) lol

@BertieMeetsGertie no helpful advice but all the good karma! That is some home warranty BS.

dragonfly87-2 · February 2017

@KatieEl Haha, I have been feeding him pumpkin seeds too for the past month...and he doesn't even know why! Luckily, he really likes them.

mschanandlerbong1214 · February 2017

**makes mental note to get DH almonds and pumpkin seeds**

LoveInDC · February 2017

@BertieMeetsGertie Boo! That's so weird to me. How is your home warranty structured? Ours has a $1k deductible and essentially so long as we go through them, they send someone they approve of and we only pay our deductible at most no matter the parts or labor.

dragonfly87-2 · February 2017

@BertieMeetsGertie Oh, that really sucks for both things. Sorry about the home warranty stuff. I swear these businesses (and insurance companies) are set up to pay out as little as possible, despite being sure to always collect premiums. Hopefully it all gets sorted out in your favor!

jsnakehole · February 2017

@dragonfly87 I pretty much ended a month's worth of skype sessions with DH with 'wear loose fitting pants!' So force feeding him seems normal to me.

KatieEl · February 2017

@dragonfly87 @jsnakehole I've also been known to yell at him not to rest his computer on his lap lol. Everything helps, right?

dragonfly87-2 · February 2017

@KatieEl: If it doesn't hurt, then I figure EVERYTHING helps! Lol

We don't have a deductible but pay $75 for service calls. They say they cover up to $3k for repairing or replacing A/C units or furnaces. This is the first time we've had to contact them. Which company do you have? We have American Home Shield.

LoveInDC · February 2017

@BertieMeetsGertie Interesting! We have an HSA Home Warranty. The sellers offered it as an incentive for us when we bought the house a year and a half ago. At the one year mark, we decided to reup because our house is from 1980 and the previous owners were big DIY people. It looks like you might only be able to get one through your REA at the time of sale? We pay $500 a year for it and then up to $1k per visit (we haven't had a service call over $100). It's awesome because even the appliances not covered by the warranty are still subject to the deductible. Maybe shop around next time your warranty is asking you to reup?

Either way, it sounds like paying out of pocket for the furnace repair is the way to go. Why pay $4k more for only a $360 credit, right? It just doesn't math. Hopefully you get it fixed soon either way!

ETA: I should clarify, when an appliance isn't covered, the visit is still subject to the deductible even if we have to pay above and beyond for parts.

cdnrunning · February 2017

Does anyone else have an addiction to Cadbury Mini Eggs??? I CAN'T STOP EATING THEM!!

jsnakehole · February 2017

@cdnrunning Easter candy, any kind, is my absolute weakness. I've been trying to keep blinders on when I go to the drug store because it's full force Easter now.

I'm trying to start eating healthier again- I've really been slacking on that and physical fitness the past few months. I have no more excuses, and DH coming home is getting closer and closer. I'm doing a total health/fitness overhaul starting from 150 days until he gets home. I want him to pretty much turn into something out of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' at the airport.

LoveInDC · February 2017

@cdnrunning @jsnakehole I'm obsessed with very specific Easter candy. I seriously hoard 2lb bags and finish it in a matter of days. But it's such an UO, I don't even think FFFC could save me, so I'll just hide it here in a spoiler box in the hopes I'll get away with it....

KatieEl · February 2017

@LoveInDC me tooooo! They're the best!

LoveInDC · February 2017

@KatieEl Yaaaaaas!!! I hate that I can only find them during Lent. And a lot of places don't even have them! I throw many rage fits when I can't find them, and then buy as much as I can when I do. It's a problem.

icecubeinthedesert · February 2017

@cdnrunning the Cadbury mini eggs are my favorite Easter candy! Now I need to go find some!
