Nausea = Pregnancy

Well I have been feeling like crap. My stomach is going crazy. I was out of work one day because I have been nauseous for like 3 days. So when I go back to work , everyone kept asking me if I was pregnant. I know that is a sign of pregnancy but why do people assume. I did not want to say anything other than no I am not. I left like just screaming.

Mandate for Ivf

I was doing some research on ivf coverage for mandates. I found this site that has some information on state mandates for ivf. It is very helpful and explains the state policies.

http://www.asrm.org/Patients/insur.html

I recently found out that my insurance does not cover ivf as the company is private and writes their own policy. Because of that they do not need to go by the mandate.

RE appt for 2nd depo-provera shot

I finally put a call into my doc because I could not take the cramps anymore. I thought maybe the endo was coming back. I do not want to thru that again or lose another tube. They did an ultrasound and said everything looked fine. So thank you god. Now I know that this spotting and cramping is just side effects.

I was going to start ivf this month but it is just not working that way. My insurance does not cover ivf which I just found out and I live in a state that has a mandate, that will cover up to 3 cycles. So I will be switching insurance this summer and then ivf. I know it will be worth the wait. I know there are no guarantees but I will at least be given a chance.

Thinking

I don't know what is happening to me. The depo-provera is suppose to help me. But I feel like crap. I should not be feeling like this. I would rather be on lupron than this crap. I hope my endo is not coming back.

I keep thinking maybe I should try on my own as my re does not want me to but my neurologist does not want me to do ivf until I can get the pseudotumor cerebri (ptc) under control. I am 32 yrs old and can not wait forever. I know when I do get pregnant the pregnancy will be hard.

So one doctor says no ivf the other says yes.

32nd Birthday

Well I just had my 32nd birthday and it was a pretty good day. I cant believe I am 32. I feel so much better about myself since I first turned 30. When I was in my 20's I had no idea about things or life. Tonight I went to dinner with my husband and parents. Then we went to a movie. I had such a relaxing time. It was great. I think things are looking better and I am feeling better.

Update

know what is causing it. I have been pricked pocked and scanned with only knowing I am I just wanted to update, on what is happening with me. My Uveitis is clear for now. But I know I am hla-b27 and hla-b58 positive which really does not mean anything other than I might develop back problems.

The pseudotumor is another issue. I went to see a new neurologist and she basically told me that the pseudotumor would go away if I just lose weight. I have lost over 35lbs and it is still there. So I'm not sure her theory is right.
