Thanks ladies! PIO is my progesterone in oil shots. I had labs today and will get the results tomorrow. Hopefully I can be done getting stabbed daily! Also did my 1 hour just to see where things stand. Almost didn't hold it together but phew I made it!

 

[ILuvBabies200]

I have a feeling I failed the 1 hour at a mere 12 weeks. Came home to a message on the machine from the OB's nurse saying they needed to discuss my sugar test results. Just want to bury my head and cry. :*(

RE called with my progesterone...31 Then the nurse asks how I feel about coming off the shots. I ask what the RE's recommendation is and oh they never thought to ask him! So yet more waiting...

ILuv- I'm so sorry you are going through so much sweetie I am going to have to take progesterone shots from 16 to 36 weeks, and I chose to let the nurse do it. I hope your hubby understands how much it hurts if done incorrectly (well it already hurts). I pray you two figure something out that will reduce your stress honey. Try not to stress too much about your sugar levels, just think about the different foods you are going to eat to keep it at a better level.When I had GD with DD1, I wrote out menus for breakfast dinner and lunch, oh and snacks. It helped me be able to choose a meal each day without panicking lol
I am glad they tested you early so now you can keep you and baby safe. I think it'll all work itself out. I know these words may not help, but I am rooting for you!!!

Court- Yep! High HBs and both were beautiful girls. I know I said this pregnancy was the similar, but I've been in the 150s more so this may be a boy! Usually, I'm 160 or 170 something (well baby is lol)

Going through some stuff at home so I haven't been posting. DH hit me hard with the PIO shot last night in the totally wrong spot. I went off and he started screaming and yelling at me and the shit hit the fan. Considering a separation now because I don't deserve this and my kids don't either. We are going through marriage counseling but it's done nothing and that's exactly what I expected. All I am praying for is the health of this baby. Nothing else matters at this point...

I'm so sorry you're going through so much! I hope it all gets better soon!!

Hmmm I guess we shall see! I went to ER last night bc my stomach was on FIRE since taking these damn pills!!! It was burning with cramping so I was worried. Anyway, they checked LO heart and it was 147...so it went lower. Not sure if baby was sleeping though which could be an explanation. I'm getting so anxious waiting for the gender scan!!! I am still conviced boy. But when I look at boy "nub" shots my LO nub looks nothing like them. It's in between a girl and boy, so we shall see!!!!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Aww poor Courtney! When you take the pills, do you take them right after you eat? I did that, but they still made me so nauseated.

 

[Courtney917]

Yea I make sure I have food in my tummy. Today its not as bad....maybe my body has adjusted? My arms are all bruised from them taking so much blood yesterday and I had more blood taken today for my thyroid. Don't mind me I'm just feeling sorry for myself lol.

 

[MizzPodd]

Oh you should let it out girl! Lol I don't mind and I know the other ladies don't either. This forum is made to sharing all the good and bad feelings I hope it was only the loss of blood causing the extra discomfort. It's good you took the initiative to go to the er. please don't think it's bad to express yourself!

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks

I have to do the 3 hour. My 1 hour was 160 and needs to be below 130. So I will do that next week. RE called and wants 2 weeks of suppositories now. They don't want anything stopped without a scan. However, they won't do the scan with how far along I am. They want the OB to do it and I know for a fact they won't. That's the reason I stayed with the RE for the 9 week one. Just doesn't make sense how a month ago they told me the progesterone wasn't necessary and now they want a few more weeks of it. I think I'm going to finish my vial and call it a day. I'm almost 13 weeks now and this is getting a bit ridiculous.

 

[MizzPodd]

Kelly that does sound a bit weird... I wonder why OB won't do it knowing what is going on. It isn't a normal pregnancy, so they should be making it easier for you. I am sorry you are dealing with so much Why do you have to do suppositories?

Court how's everything been going? Things getting a bit easier or...?

Hey everyone else, how are you all doing?? Everyone seems to be busy! Me, I am decent... Can't wait for appt on 27th to see how my cervix is doing; I hope it hasn't shortened anymore. Maybe everything will be surprisingly okay. Still starting the progesterone though (OUCH) lol Time is going by very fast because I am going to be 14 weeks soon!! I was just 12 weeks it seems Can't wait to hit 20 weeks!!! Then after that, 34 weeks

Have a great weekend ladies.

 

[Tournesol]

I hit the 15w mark yesterday! I'm starting to get quite an obvious bump too. Normal trousers are now out of the question, except for very stretchy joggers! Otherwise it's maternity trousers all the way!
I'm STILL being sick! I think I'm going to be one of those unlucky ones who has it the whole time. I'm definitely better than I was though, it seems to be mostly mornings and sometimes evenings now as opposed to all day!

Hope you're all Ok!

 

[MizzPodd]

Tour WOOHOO on hitting 15 weeks!!! Yeah, we can be in this sickness together because I am still sick too. And I have been gagging all morning which hasn't happened in a while but now it is starting again. WTH is that about? lol
Oh and when you hit 20 weeks, post your baby bump! I think it will be cool to see everyone's bump when they get to 20.

 

[Tournesol]

Thanks Mizzy! I'm sorry you're feeling sick too, but it's good to know it's not just me! We can be puke bump buddies!
Oh it is awful though, I just want to feel normal (well as normal as possible for me anyway)
I had a hankering for McDonalds today, so I went and got one while I was shopping in town. BIG mistake! All I can say is, it's a good thing I wa sitting in my car with a take away, rather than in the middle of the restaurant!

Yes, good idea about the 20w bump pics, we should all do that x

 

[Courtney917]

I'm good Mizz, thanks for asking! I got my NT scan results and baby has a 1:44 chance of Downs. I declined further testing bc I would love any baby that I've been blessed with.

I'm having another ultrasound next week to take a further look and again at 20 weeks and 32 weeks.

Anyone else get their NT results back?

 

[Storm7]

Hi all.

Glad to see everyone is ok with the exception of some sickness!

I have been having a serious wobble but not sure why. 16 weeks tomorrow though so hoping I can regain my PMA soon.

My NT results were 1:50000 which surprised me as I thought having turned 30 would have increased my risk. 1 in 44 is still little more than a 2% chance so not really as high as it initially seems.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Mizz-No idea and the whole thing just adds worry. I have no idea why a month ago they pushed for me to get off the shots and now they are saying 2 weeks of suppositories. I don't even know what to do....

 

[EMTAmanda]

Is anyone still scared? Ever since I fell I've been terrified. Is this normal?

On a happier note my baby turns 1 tomorrow!

 

[manuiti]

Hi again ladies. Really hoping those of you still with ms get some relief soon.

My NT scan results came back as 1:430 which at 37, I'm really happy with. Court - my sister's first boy had a NT measurement of over 6mm (!) and was given a 1:6 chance of him having Downs, they then messed up her amnio results so she didn't have a result, but he came out just fine. You've also got a 43:44 chance that your baby's just fine. I'm sure these tests are designed to give us more stress.

Amanda - yes, I'm still scared. Especially since I started bleeding on Thursday night. Nothing hugely scary, just very light pink/brown. The Dr said over the phone that it's nothing to worry about but to let him know of any further bleeds. But it's still worrying as it would be nice to know why this suddenly started. But I am in love with my Doppler because I can hear that baby's heart's still happily thumping away and that he's moving around too. But it's still worrying. I've been feeling quite crampy too, though it feels more like stretchy cramps. I'm sure it's just coincidence, but it's not a nice combination to have together.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

 

[EMTAmanda]

Thank you Manu! I really needed that! I guess I should really invest in a Doppler huh? I ha a bleed with ds2 and it terrified me. I'm sorry you had to go through that! My mom said its probably just my nerves from the miscarriage ( she also lost her 1st at 14 weeks so she knows that pain) I just want my anatomy scAn to hurry and want to see a healthy 4 chamber heart beating away!
