AFM I have an appointment with my GP at 7:15 for the hcg tests to see if its rising or not.... So nervous. Still lots of symptoms but the spotting has continued in a very minimal and brown but still makes me nervous.
 
Sunny and Dairymomma - How are you doing? Fingers crossed that all will be OK for both of you! Dairymomma - also best wishes for your little brother's recovery from that infection!
 
So went to the doctor... Still mild spotting BUT hcg is rising (slowly but doctor said that can be ok).... She is sending me to a specialist thinks my progesterone might be low. They will fit me in this week (likely Wednesday or Thursday) and will take over prenatal care. Doctor said they will likely do blood work and progesterone ASAP and possibly a scan. So glad to be pulling out all the stops!! Also our fertility appointment is next week and doctor suggested moving it back a month 'just in case'.

Feeling renewed hope!
 
Sunny - that's good that your hcg is still going up and that your doctor is getting on the fast track to extra help. And it's a good sign that your doctor is being hopeful.

When I left my first doctor's appointment she said to my DS "you're going to get a little brother or sister" and it just sounded so positive that it made me feel hopeful.
 
Starry it's amazing how a simple comment can make such a difference isn't it? Our doctor is hopeful and believes that progesterone is the key but wants the specailist to take care of things. She congratulated us a couple of times :). When I asked about hcg doubling she said that after 5/6 weeks its slows down and may only double in 72 hours so she's still hopeful!!! It was 25000 (ish) and 48 hours was 35000 (ish). Bit nervous about that but she reassured us that so long as its rising we are not out yet!!
 
Hi. I'm approx 7 weeks pregnant. For the last few days I've been getting a very dull ache on my left side. I'm scared this is the start of something bad :cry: I had a scan in Saturday but they could only see the sac. I'm going back on Monday for another scan. What do you guys think?
 
Are you absolutely sure of your dates? I think it's fairly common to get those mixed up. Also, it's normal for a baby to measure up to a week behind and everything still be fine. So your dates could be off by about a week and then the baby measures a week behind that so it seems things are really off. Monday's scan should give you a better idea of what is going on.

I'm sorry that your scan didn't go as planned. There is a chance that things aren't going well but try to stay positive. It ain't over until it's over. Good luck.
 
I have such horrible ms :cry: I didn't have this with DS. It's very hard because I can't even keep down water. I'm basically stuck on the couch all day while DS plays because when I get up I get sick.

I have been much more nausea this pregnancy as well, my husband says its b/c it is a girl this time :baby:
 
darlin - that does sound horrid. Rest as much as you need. Your ds is young and won't remember that mommy had to rest a lot for a short period of time. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm hating my ms too. It's some of the worst that I've had. Still no vomiting but that's because I'm fighting it tooth and nail. I don't see how vomiting will make me feel better. Today I got bit of a break from it but this evening it has come roaring back. I know there are ladies who have it worse but I feel absolutely miserable and don't care how much I complain. I want to cry it feels so bad. I am grateful that I get brief periods about twice a day where it isn't so bad and I can rest.

I keep having to munch though. I am going to get so fat.
 
Starry try making healthy choices with your snacks. It's the only way I survived the nausea with DS. I ate things like apples with peanut butter, grapes with a cheese stick, wheat thin crackers and some fruit juice, almonds anything high protein. I would also eat a cereal bar 1st thing when I woke up and oatmeal in the morning with fruit as like a 2nd mini breakfast. I loved little clementines too! If I ate junk it didn't curb the sickness.
 
For me junk does curb the m/s, unfortunately. Right now it's all about the brownies. *sighs* I have been trying to munch on fruit but they taste like battery acid. I'm going to send DH out for bananas, strawberries and maybe peaches tomorrow as they don't have as strong of flavours. I do like the almond suggestion. I'm munching on chips right now because the crunching seems to calm me down. Otherwise I'm not really liking the saltiness. Salt was the cure for my ms in my last two pregnancies. Now I don't really care for it.

Yogurt has been helping too. I also like hard-boiled eggs and pasta. But I can only eat so much of those as well.
 
I looove things that crunch when I'm pregnant :haha: I get super sensitive to salty things tho.
 
Oh, and oatmeal sounds like it could work too. I was eating oatmeal with blueberries mixed in until I started to feel ill. The blueberries don't agree with me anymore.
 
I like fruit and cream quaker oatmeal packets. The peach and banana flavor are my favorites :) Also Mcdonald's maple oatmeal with apples.
 
:haha: I woke up wanting it the other day and we usually have tons but were out :(
