Release the kraken

This week has made me so angry and rage-filled with regards to our insurance company.  Hell hath no fury like a woman whose cycle just started in need of medical attention and unable to get answers from the insurance company.  I'm supposed to go see the fertility specialist as soon as possible for hormone level testing (again).  I waited 35 days for this moment and now that it's here, I still don't have answers from the insurance company and I'm about ready to release the kraken. How hard is it to give me the flippin' approval code so I can move on with my process?!  We know we were approved.  The question was that our specialist had recently started her own practice and had a new address -- it felt like talking to an 8-year-old when I called the other day.  I just want to move on.  I'm sick of being in this place of limbo.  If there's nothing that can be done, we'd like to explore other options like adoption or foster care but we're not ready to start that research yet.  We want to focus our energies on making a tiny human that's biologically equipped to deal with sarcasm and genetically inclined to be awesome.  ;)

Any advice on dealing with the insurance company?  How do I light a fire under their ass?  I'm a little sick of hearing, "We're only taking messages at this time."

Call.  Me.  Back.

xoxo

    Which insurance do you use? Each one is different, but I might be able to help.

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

when even the doctor feels badly for you

went for the repeat ultrasound yesterday with my heart filled with positive thoughts and feelings just to find out that my uterine lining is WAY too thick to move forward. in fact, dr. b was worried because my uterus and ovaries seem to be having different conversations about where they are in my cycle. blood was drawn and results revealed that i hadn't ovulated and so, my dear friends, i am back on birth control for an undetermined length of time. the short version of this paragraph:  i didn't bleed enough this month so i have to do it again. you know it's rough when even the doctor has that sad look in her eyes and wraps up the appointment with, "I feel so bad for you, it's just one thing after another." that's why i like her, to be honest. let's not sugar coat this process and let's skip the whole "we'll get 'em next time, tiger" pep talk. it sucks. and we're allowed to feel that, my fellow infertility peeps. it's o...

I suppose this kid's gonna need somewhere to sleep...

As an avid blog stalker reader, I have been following several stories of other families who have struggled with infertility and am actually just days separated from Liz & her hubby at Wishing on a Snowflak e who adopted embryos and actually had her transfer the same week I did and we both got positive results. I read her blog today and saw the amazing nursery they're putting together for their daughter and I realized something kind of important... Holy shit. This kid is going to need somewhere to sleep.   And we're already almost 14 weeks deep. I suspect it's much like the wedding.  I was never really the girl who dreamed about her wedding day in great detail.  I was too busy hoping to find the right person, the details didn't matter.  I feel like I've been so busy wishing, hoping, praying, stabbing myself with needles, etc to give this some real deep thought.  Remember when we moved in to our apartment and Porch was all like " We could raise some...
