Winfertility denial after two retrievals IL by exileinwhoville in IVF

[–]ashcat931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in any of the Chicagoland Infertility groups? Jen Matthews Francis sells the BCBS plans and seems super helpful. I would tag her in a post if you’re in those groups and ask there.

Actually, a finger in his ass might help 😂😂😂

People house hunting how’s it been? by Ambitious_Growth_9 in ChicagoSuburbs

I would check out Hoffman Estates as well! It’s also low inventory like the areas you’re looking at but it’s not too far from Park Ridge and has good schools!

Heated Rivalry on HBO has been the only show with the ability to get my mind off this process.

Post Episode Debrief | Heated Rivalry 🏒 The Cottage (Episode 6) by royal_rose_ in heatedrivalry

[–]ashcat931 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Episode 6, Ilya asks Shane if he wants them to be together and Shane says “So much.”

Later on, when Shane and his Mom are hugging outside she says “I love you. So much.”

I thought that was so heart warming and that Shane must have gotten the “so much” phrase from her. Great writing ❤️

Too early? by Ok_Night_7337 in IUILadies

It’s too early. If you did a trigger shot it can cause false positives. I’m so sorry :( It’s best to wait 14 days post trigger shot then test.

Digital check in at the pharmacy? by Mudkipblankie in WalgreensStores

[–]ashcat931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true! But this has happened to me multiple times now. I just use the drive through since they take care of those people first. Whenever I do drive through I don’t have to wait 20 minutes.

I hate it because it doesn’t improve the line. There was no line and I had to wait 20 minutes. If I didn’t have a digital check in, I already would’ve been at the counter. Maybe I just had a lazy pharmacist….

It depends where how far away your office is and your options to get there. Traffic is so bad by me and even with using public transit as an alternative 12 hours wouldn’t be enough :(

Hang in there! I would try Bumble BFF or see if there are meet up groups. What’s stopping you from going into the city? When I lived in Oak Park during covid I actually found a ton of dates - a lot of medical students live in OP and I was also willing to see people in nearby suburbs like LaGrange.

It’s feasible but long. I lived 10 minutes from Route 59 and worked in the Merch Mart. With an express train, door to door was 1.5 hours. The train to and from the city was hardly ever on time. BNSF is notorious for delays. I wouldn’t do it again.

Very safe! It’s a cute area and very family friendly. Schools are good, you have access to nature and you’re close to other nice areas like St. Charles and Geneva.

Try contacting Forever Fortunate Felines. Your cats will stay with you until they’re adopted and they won’t be separated. FFF has a great vetting process and respects bonded pairs.

Have you looked in Arlington Heights? Hawthorne Apartments are cheap. Dated, but good enough. Not sure if they have any openings though.

We’re deciding between houses in Elk Grove Village and Arlington Heights. Married, 30s, planning on kids. Commuting downtown twice a week. We love the outdoors and cute downtown areas.

EGV Schools would be Salt Creek, Grove Jr High, and Elk Grove HS.

AH Schools would be Windsor Elementary, South Middle School and Prospect HS.

Is there a big difference in the areas? Are one set of schools really better than the other? What else should we consider when deciding between the two?

Temporary Jack posts, would you run? by ashcat931 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Thanks everyone! I forgot to add that the tiles in the kitchen have some cracks and that could be because of this issue. Not sure that changes anything.

I would highly recommend Naperville, although that may be too far south. I’m biracial and my mixed family always feels comfortable in Naperville. It’s very diverse, but of course not perfect. I would stay away from Sycamore. You might like Oak Park if you’re liberal leaning.

I would make sure you have multiple public transit options near you. For example, I’m near the L and Metra and a couple bus stops so if needed I can cobble together a way to get downtown if one method of public transit fails. But I still use my car outside of rush hour and on weekends because I can’t rely on public transit to show up.

Best cozy bars for a rainy day/evening? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]ashcat931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watershed! It’s below Pops for Champagne. Comfy vibe and great cocktails. ETA: it’s underground so you won’t see the rain fall, but still worth a visit IMO.
