Lance discovered today that he likes Thai food.

This now opens up a lot of new dinner possibilities...

Also, I seem to have been bitten by some kind of cleaning and organizing bug. We have a lot of half empty boxes laying around, so I dumped the contents of some boxes into others and broke down the empty boxes and got them out in the garage. While the house is still very cluttered, there is at least a lot more carpet visible.

It's another gorgeous day today. Not rainy and chilly as the weather experts would have us believe. It's partly sunny, mid-50s. And unfortunately, I'm feeling poorly today, so I don't really feel like getting out and enjoying it.

I'm not coming down with anything, it's just...



I switched from the pill to NuvaRing last month and this is my first period since I switched. Oh sweet sister of mercy...ouch ouch ouch!



Oh, hey...does anyone know how much it costs to rent movies at Hollywood Video?

Almightychix0r, I have my first appointment with a fertility specialist on Monday. I feel you. It sucks. And I know the question was for Karyn, but I tried the Patch. I hated every single second of it. I didn't bruise at all, but it threw my emotions into a tailspin. I was an unbearable bitch the entire time I was on it. I'm a fan of Depo. Or was. Before I was deemed infertile. Hmm.

Karyn, sorry I hijacked your comments. Feel free to lay the smack down and put me in my place! My insurance (United Healthcare) covers tubal ligation. I'm not sure about the procedure you mentioned in that earlier post. I know that most doctors will do a tubal for anyone, there's just usually a 4-6 week waiting period. They want to make sure you aren't making a snap decision because you broke up with your boyfriend or had a miscarriage or some such thing. In other words, the waiting period is for people who aren't Karyn and Lance. I think it's ridiculous that any insurance wouldn't cover elective sterilization. If it covers my efforts to have a child, it should cover any effort NOT to for those who wish to remain childfree.

No worries...I don't mind my comments getting hijacked. ;) It means people are reading and have an interest in the topic.

I think my insurance probably covers tubals, but I doubt most insurance policies cover Essure, which is the procedure I had mentioned before. I still think I will meet with resistance if I mention it to the doctor...many doctors apparently believe that women in their child-bearing years still don't know their own minds and that I may suddenly wake up on my 39th birthday and think, "Oh my God...I. MUST. HAVE. A. CHILD. NOW!" and most people generally don't consider that I have probably thought about this topic a lot more than most people who decide to become parents.

But who knows? My doctor is female, the same age as me. She might be pretty understanding. For now, I will give her the benefit of the doubt. And I need to actually have a deep discussion about this with Lance before I ever mention it to the doctor. We've only casually talked about it.
