I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
while a lot of insurance policies do not cover fertility treatments, most (if not all) will cover the diagnosis of infertility....... At the very least once you get your insurance get yourself to a Dr. and let them run the standard tests.
I am no Dr., but if you have been trying for 5 yrs without any success, then there is probably something wrong. The Dr. may at least be able to give you answers and you can go from there.
GOOD LUCK with everything.
So My advice to you is the same as Z19's. Call you doctor or GYN, make an appointment. Tell him/her what has been going on and let them refer you to an RE. They should be able to run blood tests, check your hormones, do u/s, check your tubes for blockage...I hope that all of this is covered. Are there other insurance policy options through you work? Like I said, ours wsn't covered either...but we were able to switch over to one that covered it.
Good Luck!
Also, she recommended that I chart my temperatures (if you need more info on that, just do a search for "basal body temperature charting"). Until then, I'd only been using the Clearblue Ovulation tests. I did not find the temperature charts very helpful myself, but since I had those charts with me when I finally got to see the RE, he was able to look at them and tell me right away that I wasn't ovulating. If I didn't already have those charts for the past few months, he may have needed me to do that for a while, delaying my treatment that much more.
Good Luck with everything. :)
