Girls I am very sad to say I have asked to step down.

With the upcoming battles with my insurance company, and all the doctors appointments on top of my crazy work schedule.... I don't think I wouldn't have anough time to devote to a board this busy. I have had a blast hosting and hope one of you ladies takes my hosting position.

I have LOVED every single day I have been able to host this board. I will still be an active member, but just can't seem to find enough time to respond to the new posts each day, let alone create new ones.

I hope you all understand

This really is THE BEST board on JM

Oh Bobbie, you have been such a huge part of this board and have made it so enjoyable for so many girls. You were there to support me through all my losses and I love you so much for that strength you gave me. You will truly be missed. I do understand but I am still sad to see you step down. HUGS I am going to hold you to your word, you can't totally leave or I will have to fly to Rochester and put up "Missing" pictures until I track you down

Thanks girls

I have loved hosting and plan to do it again someday. I love this board and the ladies on it. You all are amazing women and when I am feeling down I know all I have to do is come here and laugh. There is always something to laugh about here.... I love it!

I will be on again after work and I have tomorrow off. My apt is at 12:45 for my baseline ultrasound. I am so worried about how I am going to afford these meds right now. They are $60 a shot (Menopur) and a normal cycle is around 20 vials. My friend has given me 6 she had from last fall when she thought she was going to TTC again. Now I just have to figure out how to pay for the rest. I have been searching online and it isn't very easy to find this stuff. I guess I am about the most stressed TTCing that I have ever been. I just really think this is what will do the trick for me. I feel it in my heart that this is the next step for me. Yeah me who HATES needles! When I talked to my doctor the other day they said if she is my primary OB/GYN then some of the tests and ultrasounds have a better chance of being approved by insurance. So I called and switched my primary. Maybe that will help with some of the costs. I am pretty sure I am on my own for IUI and meds though. This just sucks, but there isn't much I can do this cycle. I may just ask for Clomid and IUI and wait for the meds till next cycle. Who knows. God works in strange ways. Maybe the Menopur will fall out of the sky like the 6 vials did from my friend. LOL Or maybe the money will! (And yes I am playing the lottery!)

WOW Bobbie, I am really surprised to see you are stepping down! I am glad you won't be going anywhere, but you will truly be missed as a host! You have been a real source of inspiration for me since the first day I posted on here! I hope you realize how many lives you have positively impacted with your role on here!

I really hope that things work out with your insurance and you get the meds you need to be able to bring home a healthy baby/or babies!!

Bobbie,


............i dont know what to say. I understand why you made this call, and i respect that. as long as you stay around then we wont have to PM you to death

Plus you know what? By stepping down here, it makes it that much easier to co-host PAL with Dee if she hasnt filled that spot when you get your twins. We love you so much Bobbie, just dont dissapear on us ok?

Oh Bobbie, I cried when I read this!


But I'm glad you're sticking around. I don't EVER want to hear you say you'll be TTC forever okay? You're GOING to get that sticky bfp! My dust is magic. It just might take a couple cycles to kick in!


You're a wonderful person, and I totally understand why you are doing what you are.
