wish I could nap I am at work and there is no way.... not been so puky lately just nauseous but am getting headaches here and there this week...

 

[MissFox]

I'm there with the headaches! Someone (who doesn't know yet) told me to get a ct scan. GO AWAY YOU CRAZY OLD PERSON! lol.
As far as aches and pains- I have those. Sharp twinges in my vajayjay too here and there. I love it when DF comes to bed late and rubs my back.

 

[bernina]

Thanks for the tip MissFox, I just may have to do that. I'm the opposite, totally sick of chocolate milk, but juice sounds awesome!

 

[MissFox]

It's not that juice doesn't sound awesome- it just makes me sick sick sick. Like how pickles sound GROSS but taste great.
And I really can't get enough of the pizza I brought for lunch (too bad I just ate the last piece!). Also- when I get up to wee at 4am I drink a little water- helps with the dehydration. I've just felt bad today- not so much as sick though.

 

[bernina]

Ohh you just reminded me to add pickles to my shopping list. So far they're tasting good, but my tolerance for food is so different than before. So I know exactly what you mean about sounding good but tasting gross. It's funny you mention pizza, my best friend is pregnant and she has been living on this bakery pizza near her house, she can't get enough of it.

This made me laugh, because i ALWAYS ask OH for backrubs!! I love them...soo relaxing!!! xx

Oh I forgot to mention, my fertility specialist told me to stop taking the progesterone. I'm scared to death to stop. I think I may continue until my appointment with my OB in 12 days, just to get his opinion. I totally trust my FS, but am so nervous to stop before 13 weeks.

I can understand your apprehension, but I have read that progesterone doesn't really have enough evidence that supports that it helps any circumstances. It's basically given so that FS and mommies to be feel like they are doing everything in their power to help the baby.

I think having low progesterone isn't a cause of MC i think it's a symptom. But that's just my opinion.

Hope everything goes well tough.

I've basically stopped/lowered my dosage. I was taking two a day, and now i'm down to one, but I haven't even taken one today.

 

[DanaBump]

So sorry to hear about your bad day Cottleston! I can't believe that kid!!! I just got back from my us! Peanut is measuring one day behind but was told that's great! Heartbeat was 176! I'll have pictures up as soon as I can but only have pictures from my phone- can't read the info on it too much (I know BnB has issues with that?) and my scanner isn't hooked up.

wow you're almost 9 wks and it's at 176 and i'm newly 7 weeks and already 171! don't know what that means just sounds like either the heart beat is faster earlier or what?

If you have PCOS or low progestrone then yes you can have mc because progestrone is what sustains the pregnancy until the placenta takes over... however it is not the only cause normally there is something else wrong but I know with me there was nothing else wrong except low progestrone and I miscarried.. I will be on it till 13 weeks

I was at 180 at at 6w...

 

[MissFox]

I hear they beat really fast early on (once it's actually beating) then slows down a little (but not too much) later on. There is also the myth about the heart beat saying boy or girl but i've known it to be wrong a lot of the time with the high beats still being boys.

 

[DanaBump]

well, i'll know late november! fx'd for sticky one and if i'm not being too picky, a girl

 

[MissFox]

I'm right there with you Dana- I'm finding out!!!
And since there is only one- if not being too picky also- I'd like a little boy. I'm actually really torn. Girls are so cute- but I want a boy first- then a girl.

 

[bernina]

Thanks girls for the tips on progesterone.

Ugg, just threw up, only my second time this pregnancy. I'm glad for the reassurance of course, but it's getting painful. I swear I need to chew my food better because I practically choke and feel like I'm coughing up a fur ball! I haven't had that much to eat today but am afraid to try anything else in case it comes back up. Joys of pregnancy I suppose

 

[camishantel]

everything I have read says the high heartrates are girls boys are slower

Fetal Heart Rate for Gender Prediction

As the old wives' tale has it, if your unborn baby's heart rate is higher, above 140 beats per minute, that means you're carrying a girl. A lower heart rate below 140 bpm means you're having a boy.

 

[camishantel]

but again old wives tale

Yea, having PCOS changes things. Because you could have low progesterone levels anyway.

I wonder why they didn't give you progesterone last time? Did they know that you had low progesterone levels?

They can speculate about low progesterone levels if you have thin uterine lining.

because the dr I was going to was a idiot and never even did bloods on me last time and I started mc before I could get into another dr
