Luce sounds pretty much like how i felt going back to docs clinic after my last loss. The hardest was waiting for the results but i paid cash and got all my results within a week!!!! When you get pregnant again it will be very hard to go in for the first 3 or 4 scans. For a split second i considered changing doc just so i wouldnt have to go back. Trust me though it does get easier the further along you go.
Crossing my fingers babe that all the tests come out good!!!

 

[LucyJ]

Thanks Vicky I knew it would be hard but I dont think I realised how hard it would be sitting there surronded by bad memories if I hadnt of had steve with me I probably would of walked out. I hate that we have to wait for so long for the results and of course they never give a concrete time just somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks it would be nice to start the new year knowing whats what but I dont think we will have that knowledge. How are you feeling today?

 

[Megg33k]

Luce - Sounds like you're getting the sort of care you deserve. I hope your results come back quicker than expected!

 

[vickyd]

Im doing a bit better hun thnks....Im trying not to stress too much at work and generally not get annoyed at all the stupidity surrounding me at the moment lol!!
Im so envious of all you guys with all the snow...its still 25 degrees here and the garbage men are on strike again so the whole city pretty much reeks....There is a mountain of rubbish right outside our apartment building and i cant even open the windows...

 

[Dazed]

Megg, your so sweet . I'm so sorry that you are having a hard time with your shots, but like you said there is a baby to be made at the end of it.

ATM - I have a feeling its going to be one of those days at work. Been her 20 minutes and I have already been arguing with my co-worker on how to do the job I told her to do. Doesn't help when its raining and it makes me want to go home so I don't have to deal the with idiots on the road. On top of that, I worked late last night to do some last minute task because the department that gave it to me doesn't know what doing things before they are due means! ARRRGGGGG!

 

[vickyd]

Looks like its a "problems at work" week!!!

 

[Megg33k]

I'm glad you're a little better, Vicky! I can't blame you for being sick of having to be surrounded by stupid!

Dazed - Oh, I hate those days! Sounds less than optimal! I hope the roads aren't too awful! Get home safe, please!

AFM... My shot today... I wasn't thinking and tried the right side. I made sure to put force behind the needle and it actually did that thing that you see a javelin do... where it hit the surface and wavered. How fucked up is that? So, I tried the left side, and it was fine... Same needle too. I guess my right side is totally useless now. Bring on Friday... I hope things are good to go and they want me to trigger that night. I know its not likely, but I'd be SO happy to be done with the stims!

 

[vickyd]

poor megg.... So there is a chance all the needle stuff will end on Friday???

 

[Megg33k]

Yes, there is a chance... just not a good one! Most people have to stim for at least 9-11 days. I'll have taken my 6th set of stims on Thursday night... So, its not super likely that I'll be taken off of them on Friday. I'll probably have to go through the weekend a bit still. My calendar suggests that Saturday might be my last night of stims. I'd be okay with that. Of course, when these shots are done, I get to move on to a 25g needle that's 1.5" long... and it gets jabbed into the top part of my hip/butt every night. So, I'm not really looking forward to that either.

 

[vickyd]

Yeah but at least you wont have to do the shot on your own. Get Kevin to perform the shot and since youll be with your pants down......!!!!! Gotta look at the bright side luv!!!!

 

[Dazed]

I will get home safe, it will just take awhile because no one VA can drive in the rain! Not even a drizzle.

Vic, I think its definately going to be one of those weeks. Thats what I get for taking vacation time.

OUCH Megg!!! I don't think I could do that stuff to myself. I thought being poked once a week for over a month to make sure my betas were going down was bad, I couldn't imagine doing it everyday multiple times a day. The worst part is... I DON'T like needles (but I worked in a body piercing shop for 2 years, didn't do the piercings but was the guinee pig hehe).

I definitely won't be doing that one myself. No worries! Just read a lot of horror stories about how much it hurts, because it can tend to leave large, red bumps that are sore to the touch. But, I think I have it figured out in a way that I can avoid that. So, we'll see.

I never thought I could do this stuff to myself either. You just adapt. I hate needles!

 

[heart tree]

Just a quick pop in before going to work. Allie good luck today. I saw you got your first high on your cbfm today at cd 14! Awesome!

Luce I'm glad you are done with your appointment. I had similar reactions (and still do). It's part of my PTSD theory. We are being triggered with bad memories from the place that they happened. I'm glad that you feel you have some control.

Sorry about the bad work week Dazed and Vicky!

Megg what can I say but ouch! I'll give a little shout out to the angels for Friday being the day.

AFM I took Sparkly's advice and filled my progesterone suppository prescription. I was supposed to start using them once I got my BFP but I don't want to leave anything to chance ni started them last night. So far so good. Have a great day everyone!

 

[Megg33k]

Thanks, Hearty! Good call on the progesterone, just in case!

 

[LucyJ]

Vicky if I could I'd send you some cold weather although I can't send any snow as we havnt had any yet but it is very cold.

Thanks Hearty I'm going to have go back to the same place next thursday for my councilling session so may talk to her about it. I think thats a good idea starting the progesterone.

Oh god what a day!!!!

I couldn't get my car out this morning, it was completely snowed under on our drive! The door handles were frozen solid so I gave up! I phoned my work and asked one of the blokes to kindly me pick me up which he did, as I walked outside and opened his car door I slid straight under the car, smashed my head on the ice, completely done my back in and hurt my bum! Poor bloke didn't know what to do, he said sh*t do you want me to take you to hospital? I said no and off we went to work! Within 20mins my whole back and neck had jarred up and I'm in so much pain, I'm freaking out that I've killed our baby, Danny went MENTAL which upset me even more.

I'm home now having a lay down and I've listerned to baby's heart but I'm sooooo scared I have a constant lump in my throat, if I lose our baby it's all my fault!!

 

[heart tree]

Sassy I'm sure the baby is fine. You didn't fall on your stomach. Babies in the uterus are. very resilient to these types of things. Think of all the women who exercise during pregnancy. Surely those babes are jostled around too. You have a scan tomorrow right? And you heard the heartbeat. I'm sure everything is ok. Try to relax as best you can.

 

[LucyJ]

Aww sassy I've just responded in your journal but wanted to say here try not to worry you've heard baby's heartbeat and thats a good thing you've got your scan tomorrow which will reassure you. You make sure you put your feet up and relax for the rest of the day wish I could come and look after you. Its probably a bit of shock your in as it sound very scary so make sure you eat and keep your fluids up. You and baby are going to be ok. Sending lots of love your way.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Thank you girls, I'm just really shaken up, can't wait for Danny to get home and give me a bug cuddle.xxx

 

[LucyJ]

Your bound to be hope you dont have to wait to long for danny to get home and give you a cuddle. xx
