Ahh...gotcha. GIVF stopped offering PGD in their shared risk plan 4 years ago. And I believe you're right -- they don't allow PGD because there is a greater chance of no transfer (hence more ivf cycles).
Good luck at your appt!

Hey girls, so funny to see this post still going. I never did update you all. This is the stroller I ultimately chose.

I think you hear more about HRC because GIVF stopped doing sorts while they were getting their FDA paperwork together. So, there were more people going there during that time. I'm a very happy GIVF client. My MS/IVF baby girl is now 9 months old.

In case anyone is looking for a good deal, the pink Quinny Zapp is on sale at http://www.albeebaby.com/quinny-zapp-2008-stroller-in-bright-pink.html
for $120, that's half off the regular price.
Wish I was in the market for an umbrella stroller.

I've done both diets. And they both work. I didn't subscribe to the online version when I did the SBD. I just followed the guidelines in the book.
Personally, I like WW's new program (Momentum) better. It's more flexible and you can eat pretty much anything you want (in moderation, of course!) SBD is really restrictive. I felt like I was depriving myself, whereas I eat whatever I want ...

You really don't need a whole lot when they're tiny. I think a lot of the equipment/gear is unnecessary until they're a little older. phone number for a LLL leader or lactation consultantvaseline (it will help the meconium to not stick to baby's hiney) sling or other carrier nursing tank tops boppy pillowbassinet Happiest Baby on the Block book

Wow -- 3 years! When I first joined, I was about to begin my first Microsort cycle. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Mixture, what brand is yours? ChelseaRae, Love the choices you ladies have over there! So jealous.Lillylolly, I'm now leaning towards the Bugaboo -- the Bee -- what model is the one you posted? Wanting~&~Waiting~4Pink, love Maclaren strollers - I did check out the triumph. I wish the techno came in that color. Actully, I wish they had a reversible too. ...

Does anyone have one of these? The handlebar is reversible. So the baby can face either you or out.

Thanks for sharing, everyone. I think the Bob is my favorite of the ones posted. What I'd really love to have is one of the newer, European style strollers that are becoming more & more popular. But it's hard to find one in a girly color.

I'm in desperate need of a new stroller and I love all the new options. But not the color choices. It's all gender neutral, boring black, red, blue, ...I would love to have a girly color. Not frou frou girly but girly chic. Is there anything stylish & girly out there?

I was checked & had normal levels. And DD has slept through the night since she was 5 weeks old except for when she is teething, like right now.I'm a big advocate of supplementing with Vit. D in the winter months. I've been giving DD the baby D drops since about October. I may taper off when the days get warmer & longer. I'm not on the avoid-the-sun and lather-with-...

Huge drop here too. I noticed it 4 days before AF appeared. I've been drinking Mother's Milk tea and eating oatmeal to boost supply. The good news is that as soon as AF comes, my supply is back to normal.
So A is rejecting solids? Have you tried skipping over the cereals and starting veggies instead? That's what we had to do with DC1 and DC2. They absolutely hated the cereals. DC3, on ...

Wasn't sure how to respond to your poll. I think Microsort considers both of my MS/IUI attempts successful since I got pregnant both times. But....the first time, I miscarried at 9 1/2 weeks. The second was a chemical pregnancy. :( My situation is probably unique though since I was under a great deal of stress in my life when they occurred.
