Baby- again my bad lol!

First- yay!!! So glad to hear. Was going to wish you luck this am but everyone's time zone is like two hours ahead of me :). And dr.google helped calm me yesterday.

Alli- how are you doing???? Any symptoms?

Em- how are you doing??

Mo- when you start Meds

Lotus- hope your having a good day!!!!

Turkey- hope everything is going good with you!!

AFM- still have a sense of worriness in the back of my head. My boobs still hurt off and on and a little nausea still in the morning. I would assume that's a good sign that still have symptoms. Because what happen with me last time I woke up and all symptoms were gone. Like suddenly. So I think it's a good sign I have some

Just back from u/s. I thought it would be twins with my betas, but it's only one perfect little heart, beating at 118 bpm. :wohoo:

Now, to google fetal heart rates! :haha:

HEHE.. I think that a normal HR is between 110 and 180 bpm! But beyond that I am not sure? Let me know what you find out! Congrats!!! :wohoo:

I read that normal at 5w is 80-85 bpm and it should increase 3 bpm every day. So, by that measure, I would be 6w4d (but I think I'm 6w3d). Maybe it was a 6 day embryo after all.
 
First I was 117 at 6w3d so you are normal!!! YAY!! Congrats!! I thought twins as well but just one strong bean!
 
Soo I am freaking out a little bit! I got a call from anesthesia for my hysteroscopy and biopsy and they said I will be under general anesthesia. WHY?? I am confused. Hysteroscopy isnt a horrible procedure and can be done with sedation. And the scratch biopsy just takes a few seconds and from what I have read its not terrible but very uncomfortable. Only thing I can think is if my RE is truly expecting something to be there and just in case he needs to remove it BUT I still would think I could do sedation. I get completely knocked out from sedation. I get sick from GA everytime and I dont want it :( I am worried there is something my RE didnt tell me.

Hopefully it is unlikely that the RE is hiding something, but you should call and ask whether sedation is necessary and express your preference to remain awake. Hopefully, they will give you some answers.

Sorry for the added angst. On the bright side, the scratch seems to work for many ladies on the boards.
 
First, so excited for your lil bean!!! Congrats! Does it feel real yet?

Mo - I had twilight for my Hysteroscopy and Dilation back in September. Maybe they can do that instead? I highly recommend being put under for it. The pain I was in was unbearable for the 10 seconds that they did the scratch. I know it was only 10 seconds, and he counted them down, but I literally thought I had someone slicing me with a knife from the inside. Once it was over it is fine, but those 10 seconds were horrible. Maybe I'm a wimp? :shrug: I doubt they are trying to hide things, I am sure it is mostly because of the pain and stress that it puts your body through. Also, by you being under they can do a more thorough hysteroscopy and make sure it is clear, and that everything looks good. I know it sucks being under, but as I said maybe they can do twilight? That is propofol, and it doesn't give you the same 'knocked out' feeling.

Yes, the numbers I was quoting are for normal pregnancies (not IVF or FET) so they don't normally get U/S so early, hence the 110-180 bpm. It does start out slowly and then gradually picks up steam! I have also heard that boys beat slower than girls or is it the other way around? I can't remember, but there is some old wives tale that one sex beats slower than the other! :haha: Congrats!! :yipee:
 
Mo-I know that with gen anesthesia you won't feel or remember anything. As I work in the er and have done many. And with ER they yoused gen anesthesia and I don't remember anything
 
I've had general before.. I just dont feel its justified for a hysteroscopy. I do want the profol cocktail. The nurse on the phone said to discuss it with the anesthology team on monday and they could change it if necessary. My RE is out of town until the sunday before the procedure so I cant talk with him :( IDK. Maybe I can convience them to start with sedation and if they find anything to convert to general if needed. I have also read of some getting spinal anesthesia with hysteroscopy but I would rather do GA before people go pokinng around my spine!

I bet the nurse is just confused. I haven't had a general since I had laproscopic surgery. They can do this kind of thing with propofol, they did with me! I would be surprised if they wanted to put you under GA. That just makes no sense at all! So that is why I'm pretty sure the nurse is just confused :)
 
Okay, you guys know way more than I do about this. I thought sedation and GA were the same thing.

Who knows :shrug: there are different forms of sedation depending on what they are doing. If they are cutting through abdominal walls or doing anything that really hurts, they use GA. If they simply want you relaxed and not feeling any pain, then twilight or propofol works. Things like minor incision, colonoscopy, D&C, they can use twilight I think. It ultimately rests with the Dr and the Anesthesiologist what they do, but most of them prefer using the lighter dosing as it is less risky, and has fewer side effects.
 
General Anesthesis is where they have to put a breathing tube down your throat for breathing. They give you meds to keep you asleep but you also dont breath on your own with those.

Sedation is medications only and they make you very sleepy. They make you really not aware of what is going on but you are able to breath on your own. And usually you wont remember much after getting the drugs.

Great report 2girls.
