I told you I would give you an update. Today I had my first ultra sounds I had a regular one and a transvaginal. I thought I was 7 weeks 5 days but the baby measured 7 weeks 1 day. I'm proud to say that the baby looked healthy we got a heart beat and everything I'm so happy I had been worrying myself to death but I'm so happy its ok I feel better. I was due October 26th but in actually due October 30th. I'm so happy and my fiance and i have names picked out.
Thanks for your help. My prenatal care wouldn't let me get an US till 20 weeks so I'm just going to a diagnostic center and self paying :) Everythings working out

Hi I have a question for you. I went to my visit today for my pregnancy and they said my insurance doesn't cover obgyn visits. What should I do? They want 140 dollars just for the visit.

Thank you I'm going for an ultra sound on Tuesday. Hopefully they'll be able to see the baby and everything will be ok.

Thank you for your reply I'm feeling better. I haven't had a past I'm proud of but as soon as I went to the hospital and got my pregnancy confirmed I just wanted to do anything and everything for my baby. I am worried but in 2 days I've completely changed my whole life to better the baby.

This forum is a perfect place to find out what the heck is going on and how life can get better without feeling uncomfortable askin a friend or a doctor in person. Great job, keep up the great work you are doing saving lives.

I would love if there would be hope for a detox. I was married for 39 yrs. to an electrician - and 5 yrs. ago he had cancer and died (very unexpectedly). He had retired at 55 and died at 58. Due to a bad set of circumstances I only received his pension for 2 yrs. and could not hold on to the health insurance at almost 500.00 a month. I get SSD as a disabled widow and I have Medicare. I also get some annuity money but that is due to stop soon. I have saved whatever extra that I possibly could.
I would have to know if this would be affordable in some way (I do have good credit).
Also - of course - I am scared. There is nothing worse than methadone withdrawal and I wonder if I add that to the pain I am in if I will bear up and be able to make it - I really want to.

I have never been off of Methadone. I did get under 40 mg. a couple of times but I had pain and it went ^.
I have been told that I have been on methadone way too long to try detox, especially now that I am dealing with severe neck pain from 3 herniated discs and one lower problem where I have no disc at all. I also have other health issues. I contracted Hep C virus from blood transfusions in 1980, I have serious rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid disease. Considering - I am a vegetarian who eats well and walks 3 mi. a day no matter how much pain I have. So my blood work shows my due diligence. I do not drink or smoke.
I keep thinking that maybe someday there will be a way to detox for me - I am now living on Medicare and have to pay 200.00 a month for my methadone.

Hi Julia,
I cannot remember what Cindy suggested for dividing up the questions-- one of us even days, one of us odd days-- looks like you took yesterday, the 16th-- want to just divide them up in that way, i.e. even/odd? I'd recommend that we don't do it based on the day the question was posted, but instead just have us answer whatever is there on 'our day'-- otherwise people will get mad that their question was passed over. If I miss an odd day-- say I am too busy to get to it-- you are welcome to answer them all on your even day, and vice versa if you miss a day-- or, feel free to answer what you can, and leave the rest for me. Does that sound reasonable?
