[Sunshine12]

So heard from the dr. office and I am so glad that I asked for the progesterone suppositories! My HCG more than doubled and my prog went back to a good level too!

10/5 HCG just barely pregnant Prog 17
10/7 HCG 62 Prog 15
10/10 HCG 388 Prog 14.6
10/12 HCG 789 Prog 12.9
10/14 HCG 2200 Prog 24!!!

Relieved! This doesn't mean that I am not going to be nervous for the next 34 or so weeks, but it does feel for the moment. Thanks for your support...going back again next week for another test just because I am on the progesterone.

Oh thats so good. Such a relief for you Im sure. Great news. Thanks for letting us know. xxx

Congratulations STM!! x

Welcome SecondTimeMom! We're happy you're here!

 

[Ellie Bellie]

I think I need to educate myself about these different levels. I have no idea what the progesterone should look like. Guess I'll talk to the doctor about all that stuff on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, great news lilmamatoW!

 

[Ferne]

Great News lilmama!

Welcome 2ndTimeMom!

Hi Ladies :wave:, wow nice to see some familiar "faces". I'm glad we're all moving along nice. Lilmama for getting that progesterone!! So far, I have more gagging reflex to my pre-natals vs. any food so far....lol. And I'm eating rice of all forms like nobody's business, even Rice Crispies! Today, was doing some house work, but tummy started rolling a little bit, so I'm taking a mini break again on BnB.

 

[sadie]

Mmm. Rice! I love sticky rice. Dont tempt me!

Is too much walking a bad thing? We walked for 3 hours today, but at a slow pace....

No, unless your body isn't used to it.

I've been a complete ZOMBIE today! Actually, I started out the day quite well and gave an hour-long presentation this afternoon. Once I left the conference - which really wasn't demanding at all by my "usual" standards - I went to my in-laws and just about passed out. Then we went to dinner and I felt like I was going to fall asleep over dessert. I excused myself as soon as we got back to their house, while DH stayed on (we drove separately). We haven't told anyone yet since it's still early on. So I attributed it to having a cold and being run-down after a long week at work. I think we're going to tell them when we next get together in 3 weeks for Grandpa's birthday.

The sad/funny part was when DH tried to encourage me by saying that I was almost through this phase. You should have seen his face when I told him it was going to be another 7 weeks before the second trimester! And I thought HE could to math!

:wave: Ferne, Sadie...we're within 2 days of each others' due date [sorry, you prolly discussed this somewhere...

 

[StarSign]

Ellie- this is your first? It's a trip..the first tri can be crazy hunger and outta nowhere.

Hi SS!

We are?! How exciting! Once we get out of the woods, we should take bets on who will go first. When's your due date? Do you want me to put it down on page 1 of this thread?

Hi Yes!! Put me down. Yeah, we've got some weeks to go for sure before getting out of the woods, but... that we do. Due date: June 15th. And Rashaa..needs to be removed. She's MC'ed

And I am June 14.
I have been telling people along the way because there are so many things I cant hide....
I'm constantly tired, I urinate constantly, I talk about food and am eating more than normal, I am no longer drinking (i am a wine lover), i get out of breath from 2 flights of stairs, and best of all, I am so damn bloated! If they didnt know I was pregnant, they'd think I was losing it. So, I just have to pray for the best and since my OH lives across the ocean, I need the support and help of family and friends here.....

I go for my u/s on wednesday. Excited, but now I am starting to get nervous.

It will be 5w6d and i hope that they can hear the heartbeat by then...... So many ladies lately in our age range have had a mc so it definitely make me realize that i am still into the woods.... Not out of it... PMA.... Trying to keep it up! Additionally, I am addicted to temping and it gives me peace of mind every morning, but at the same time, makes me nervous. I need to stop with the BBT. Maybe if all goes well on wednesday. Or maybe I will push wednesday's appt to friday, bc wednesday is a busy day.

Thanks for letting me rant.

Hugs

Ellie- this is your first? It's a trip..the first tri can be crazy hunger and outta nowhere.

Yes, this is my first. I sort of knew what to expect, but I didn't KNOW what to expect, if that makes any sense. And given that I just got my BFP a week ago I feel like it's a lot to experience in just a week. But I know it's my body letting me know that there's some important work going on in there.

The big challenge for me, I think, is that I tend to "bulldoze" my way through things and my body isn't going to let that happen any longer. Like a lot of people, I expect a lot of myself and I push myself hard. (Perfectionist, anyone?) For example, my Tuesday work schedule has me seeing clients back-to-back for 9 hours straight and my Wednesday schedule is 11 hours. A few months ago, that would have been a challenge but do-able. Nowadays.... Yeah, I'm going to have to rework my work schedule a bit.

I think one of my goals, for right now and for life in general, is going to be "Relax and Enjoy!" That's something worthwhile to strive for!

Good thing there's BnB. Keep the PMA going, it'll be ok. And I know what you mean about BBT, I haven't since I got my 2nd b/w done, but I think I'm going to POAS weekly until week 8 which is when the latest of my chemical mc's stopped. I'm also going to ask about more b/w again for week six...need some numbers for reassurance!

My progesterone was only at 21 for 17dpo, but it's been going up each test. HCG was 412 that day, too. I guess that's at median, but still...

 

[sadie]

I know what you mean! When I go for my ultrasound, I want them to take blood too!
And I was searching my closet for a hpt lurking in a corner because i just wanted to poas, but I didnt find any.

And today, i cried over the silliest thing.... Girls doing a dance to Firework by Katy Perry as my students and some colleagues participated in a breast cancer walk in Central Park. The atmosphere brought me to tears!

now I am completely exhausted and its time for my daily nap!

Anyone in this group have their 6 week ultrasound yet? Is the heart really beating at that point???

Thanks girls!

Hi Sadie,
I was originally scheduled for an appointment at about the same time (under 6 weeks). After doing some research, I called to reschedule for 7.5 weeks. I'm not a doctor but from what I've read you can't hear a heart beat that early. The ultrasound may be able to pick it up though (and give you a visual- sort of like an ekg) but don't be disappointed if it doesn't. Again, it's different for everybody, but some heartbeats can't be detected that early.

Not too helpful, I know.

Whoot, we're going the same week. Mine is Nov 3rd.

 

[Ferne]

SS,
Mine is the 1st. I'm really looking forward to it.

Sadie,
I can't wait to hear everything that happens at your 1st appointment. Please let us know.
