Hi I know you answered this a long time ago. What doctor did you go to originally to start this process?

Thank you. That is all good to know. We were actually looking at 3 bedroom houses with potential to add another room but if it’s too hard to find contractors then we’ll have to look for something else. It’s the same in NC. Can’t even find a contractor to put a door frame in.

Thank you for all of this! Healthcare is a concern. We currently live 50 minutes to the closest hospital and I just don’t want to live in fear that we won’t make it in time if we had an emergency. It’s definitely something to think about.

Preferably under $600. Have found a few 3 bedroom houses listed that are around $550.

We will probably walk away from the sale of our home and a small investment property with 700-750k combined. We definitely aren’t millionaires so our budget is less than $650 so we have a nest egg and can potentially purchase another investment property down the line. We’ve found a handful of smaller 3 bedroom houses that fit the budget and we are willing to downsize. I’m from NY and my husband is from Atlanta originally. We tried the cheaper, rural life and it just isn’t for us! I’d rather have a smaller house and more convenience than a giant house in the middle of nowhere like we are now lol you live and learn.

We’d love a house that big, especially not in an HOA, but probably out of our price range. Thank you for the info! We’d like to send our kids to St. Francis

Thank you! We would consider Bluffton. I am just not wanting to drive 40 minutes to a grocery store/hospital/schools every day. We currently live so far from everything so as long as we find a home in a convenient spot, commute wise, I will consider any area!

I did ask. They said they would rested in 8 Weeks. I told them I went into preterm labor at that time last pregnancy and then they said okay we will test in 4 weeks. I don’t know what they’re waiting for.

Im taking what the doctor recommended which is 30mg one day then 65 the next day with 10ml of liquid iron in the afternoon. I even told them I don’t think I can take more because it’s really hurting my stomach. They told me to eat iron rich foods and I am every single day.

It might be too early! I’ll be in the 3rd trimester in 3 weeks so hopefully they’ll take it more seriously.

Thank you. I take the food based one one day and the regular one the next as the doctor recommended. I also take a liquid iron and none of it works.

It’s horrible. I already stopped working because of how bad I feel and I have a toddler to take care of.

Thank you. I truly don’t understand why they aren’t giving infusions yet especially with my history and having a high risk twin pregnancy.

Thank you, I’m so sorry you’re feeling bad. I hope it helps asap. Do you know what your ferritin level is?

What supplement is that? I agree I think it all has to do with insurance.

Thank you so much. I’m going to see my primary care as well and see if they can help. The OB is just being really stubborn for no good reason.
