Yeah, I love e-filing.
Me too! I filed yesterday. The state accepted my return but I doubt that I'll be paid my refund before Sunday, when all the money from the state is shut off.
Do we know for sure that it was IVF or is it just what the mom of the woman says? There are plenty of people I know in my life who keep saying I had IVF, when I didn't because there is an inability to tease out the difference between IVF, AI, injectible meds, chlomid, etc. unless you are involved in the day to day. Which is stupid, because the processes are really different.
That many multiples seems more of an injectible meds issue, and that would be much cheaper than IVF ($1000 vs. $10,000). And easier to get one's hand on than IVF treatment.
Apropos of pretty much nothing (well, except "Does that seem right to you?"): I only this year realized that Jubal Early was a real person. Le sigh. I am large with reference-missing.
I am just going to name myself Judgey McJudgerPants and sit in the corner of JudgerVille.
Me, too. I'm just enraged that they let this woman and her docs do this! It's nuts! I realize this is probably a personal issue with me because my twin sister is having trouble conceiving and has put off IVF due to worries about her husband getting laid off.
If Clown Car Uterus Lady gets good press or free shit, I'm going to go ballistic.
In other, happy news:
Happy Birthday, Anne!
I'm glad the procedure went well, Barb. I had one of those once and it sucked.
Cheerios:
Gud, I've e-filed for several years and I just keep the forms filed in case of an audit. You're really on the honor system. I love the process, though!
I guess I'm not judgy about this at all because we actually don't really have any information except what the mother said and I think it's too easy to not get it.
Also, I don't think she
wanted
eight more necessarily. What she didn't want to do is selectively reduce and, given one's religious stance, I can respect that as it is indeed her body. If I'm actually about the choice thing, then I have to understand when people make choices I wouldn't.
I'm sort of in awe that she lives at home with her parents in a small house in Whittier! And that there is no talk of Dad.
I guess it's too hard to really get my self into a lather because there is so much I don't know about the situation.
oh Barb - I meant to say that what I had done earlier this year was the removal of one of those. Best ofluck and if this is new to you, I am happy to answer things via email.
and for me, having 6 already is enough to send me over the edge.
Having three is more than enough to send me over the edge, so.
I'm pretty comfortable in my McJudgey chair on this one, actually.
If I'm actually about the choice thing, then I have to understand when people make choices I wouldn't.
Yes.
And selective reduction is a hard call I wouldn't wish on anybody.
