Due in July 2012

[Viking15]

I am totally interested in using cloth diapers. My mom had to use them on me as I couldn't tolerate those disposables. A friend of mine uses GDiapers and seems to be a fan. Anyone else?

What a LOOONG week. Here's a quick recap of the craziness it has entailed:
Monday- 9dpo? BFP hcg at 64 as of 4pm (I get beta testing due to recurrent miscarriages.) Taking progesterone and baby aspirin.
Tuesday- 10dpo? REALLY sore throat. Went to bed and woke up at midnight to a purplish tonsil swelling. Went to ER. HCG was 195 at 1 am wednesday morning. WOOHOO! Put on Penicillin and IV fluids and tylenol for high fever (over 102)
Wednesday 11 dpo? Got home from hospital at 7 am and temp shot to 103. I was nervous! Started spotting at noonish! AHHHHHH! Not again I thought! Tried to take it easy. OB called and said to alternate tylenol with advil to get temp below 102 even though you usually aren't supposed to take advil. It was a dire situation.
Thursday 12 dpo??? Woke up unable to talk normally due to extreme swelling in my throat. Went to ER again. Put on IV fluids, IV steroids, and injected with penicillin. HCG was 329 as of 11am thursday. Spotting slowed that afternoon and is completely gone today!!! I just hope my hcg keeps climbing and my little bean hangs in there. ray:
Oh what a week!
One more thing... I am wondering if I ovulated early because I feel like my hcg levels are a little high for this early... Hmmm.

Oh Skittle how awful! I hope you feel better fast and your little bean sticks!

Vicking - Buy a few from different brands, every baby goes well with a certain brand better. When you find your perfect brand, you can buy more of it.

It's nice too get to see other ppl are out there at the same stage as me lol I'm due on July 7th this will be my second child. I have a son that is 3 1/2 right now. We haven't told the family yet want to wait a little but. i Have my first office visit on 11/28/11. It's weird I don't feel any different maybe b/c i'm so busy with my 3 year old. I was getting sick about a week ago now not so much. It last 3 months with my son. I took 3 test and the all came out (- -) !! Anyone getting cramps this makes me nuts feels like period cramps but, I read online that its normal so I try not to think too much about it. I had some cramps with my son but, not too bad but, everyone is different I guess. I am so happy and pray that my little gift from god his healthy and doing great! One day at a time I guess can't wait for my appt feels like forever but, it will be here soon.

Oh skittle how are you feeling? Hopefully better

I have been just counting the days till the ultrasound. It still doesn't feel quite real and I don't think it will till I see the ultrasound.

Has anyone else been working out? I have been going easy, but I heard doing it now makes for a much easier pregnancy

Hi everyone - my prognosis doesn't look too good spotting started yesterday up again, stronger than last week and on top of that I had a nosebleed anyways I'm off to Dr. on Monday to see what's up.

 

[Tanzibar83]

Hey girls mind if I join? got my BFP 5th November and have my first scan on the 21st (it can't come soon enough). according the FF and other websites I'm due around 15th July

 

[SLCMommy]

Hey ladies. Sorry i've been MIA...I have a terrible cold & runny nose. Took the kids to see Santa yesterday, so they liked that! Got a pair of maternity pants. woo hoo Broke out with acne, breasts don't hurt terribly but are starting to be tender, and I'm going to the bathroom a lot more. lol One thing that's getting scary is today my left ovary area was KILLING me, but it went away.

greenpear - FX for you sweetheart, keep me updated after you see the doc on Monday

Tanz - My ultrasound is also on the 21st!! Yay.

 

[Tanzibar83]

SLCMommy - oo you'll have to let us know how the scan goes

I'm going to the USA in about 10 days and I'm not sure what to travel in. Hubby wants me to invest in some of those flight socks which I want to do but I'm unsure if I should wear a skirt or trousers....I think either way I'll need to invest in some maternity clothes to make the journey a bit more comfortable. What do you reckon I should get? skirt or pants?

 

[Canada8]

Welcome Tanz!

Hey my scan is also on the 21st!!.....I too found out on nov 5th

sLC I hope you feel better! I have been struggling with insomnia and bitchyness! Ugh

Green pear...I will say an extra prayer for you and bean

 

[Canada8]

What part of the USA will you be visiting??

 

[Tanzibar83]

Thanks Canada8 - I'm going to Orlando for the 2 year anniversary. It's come at a good time the BFP cause the reason for the holiday was partly to get away from the stress of daily life and hope a different environment might help me get pregnant...now all I need to do it sit back and relax for 9 days

So have you had any confirmations from the doctors or anything? I've not been yet. Cause I was put on Clomid and was referred to a Gyne' the hospital told me to ring them once I get pregnant...so in other words I have just gone off what they've said. I think I will go to the docs some time this week though, with travelling I want all the best advice possible.

Should I have already gone by now?

FYI - I'm still testing daily, hehe I'm such a saddo!

Dont let the pain worry you.
its normal.
i was terrified at first because of how much pain i was having, but thas because our uterus is becoming the size of a grapefruit soon haha so it needs to stretch, thats why its painful.
as long as theres no blood, your golden:]
i stayed up ALL night last night researching stuff for ectopic and miscarriages, unless you've had an ectopic thats really the only way to have one, so i read anyways.
gl at your ultrasound
cant wait until mine either haha, i just want to know he/she is in there with a heartbeat
