Thanks new_to_ttc lol.

Not sure lol How long shall i leave it up for? It would be nice for people due later in the month to vote as well but obv not want it on for too long.
 
meow maybe give it 2/3 weeks just to let end of may people vote, unless there is a runaway winner:haha:

Lisa yeah the receptionists at our ob just don't pass anything on, we got somewhere by ringing the nurse instead:thumbup:

I had eaten a light snack earlier which pretty much stayed down.

Alright, stop sending me the MS!!!! LMAO :haha:
I knew I needed a snack, but it was 11am and I had to go to the store to buy snacks... I waited an hour so I could get lunch while I was out.... :dohh: STUPID I went to the store to buy snacks, started gagging for no reason at all... even went to find their bathroom... which was out of order and the sight of it made me gag more...
Walking around the grocery store gagging ... fun times!
Then I go outside and start to get it under control when someone up in front of me lets out a puff of cigarette smoke and I started up again.

The point of this story is that I found that breathing long breaths OUT actually helped calm it down more than anything... hope that helps someone...
and new_to_ttc... you can have it back! ;)

Desk is now stocked with all kinds of snacks, lol.
 
Hey blutea... due on the same day congratukations :)

Lisa .. I dont want it back hun lol Not much is styaing down really, but Im hungry and eating bits and pieces :)

This may be tmi ladies so sorry in advance.. but I have a really weird 'pushing' feeling in my ladies bits. It feels like a permanately want to go pee, I go to the bathroom and nothing just feels like I need to push. Ive no cramps and no spotting, CM is quite a lot and I did a pg test this afternoon and got really dark lines on an IC.. which were questionabley faint only on Friday still.. so I assume my hormones are building nicely. Is this just me? Does it sound ok? I think I missed a call from my MW today so will ring her back tomorrow and organise my first appointment with her.

Could that be a start of a UTI?
 
Gosh I dont recall ever having a UTI before, I wouldnt know what one felt like. I dont sting to pee. Maybe should ask the nurse tomorrow, that hadnt even crossed my mind! Thanks hun xxx
 
Lol, no worries, I know they are more common when you are pregnant... one friend told me 'don't even THINK about holding your pee, just go'
Everyone gets them differently, I get them SUPER hard and fast.
Feeling the need to pee frequently when there is nothing there is usually the first sign.
In my case, I'll pee once, need to go again strangely soon... by the next time it burns, by the time after that there's blood :( I am so unlucky with them.
But yes, the urge to push/pee is a huge sign for me that I have one.
(peeing right after sex, not holding your pee for too long, and drinking cranberry juice -juice cocktails don't count--- those are the best preventions I know of)
 
I agree it sounds like a uti:flower: I would go to your gp and get your pee tested!

Sickness is not fun, seems theres a few of us now feeling rough! I brought u all my lunch, theres nothing appealing at all now:nope:

Congrats blutea:hugs:

Any one else getting a lot of lower back ache? I've had mild backache but today at work it was so painful and it is now even though i'm sitting down. I'm wondering if i've done something, bit worried that something might happen to bubs lol
Click to expand...

Yes! My lower back has been aching since before BFP. I sometimes get backaches with af so I thought that was it, but they've continued this whole time.
I've found that laying down with my knees propped up on a pillow helps a bit.
Wish I could take a hot bath but too afraid of getting my temp too high.
 
Hi ladies-
congrats to all the new to the May due date club!

What do you know about low progesterone? Just got a call back on my blood work (finally!) and they said my HCG levels are good- doubling:thumbup:
but that my progesterone levels are low and I have to take suppositories:dohh::blush:

I've been spotting on and off since af was due- is this why?

Yes! Progesterone is what keeps your lining from shedding during the 2ww and once a pregnancy starts. Not all women's bodies keep making enough progesterone so they may start to spot. If their progesterone falls low enough, it can cause a MC.
I think you are so lucky to have the doctor you do... many out there refuse to think that progesterone can go down even when the pregnancy is perfectly healthy.. they claim its a sign the pregnancy is already failing and refuse to help some women.
Many doctors refuse to even bother testing progesterone unless there is a history of early MC. And even then, some put women on milder forms of progesterone.... the suppositories are the strongest!

I wouldn't worry, if HCG is going up, then your pregnancy is healthy and the progesterone can be totally fixed with suppositories. You only need them until the 10-12th week when the placenta takes over the production of progesterone.

I'm on the suppositories too, and researched this a lot while TTC as I found out my progesterone was lower than it should be after each ovulation.

(edit, hope none of this was scary... its SUPER common! And you did ask what I know :haha: :rofl:)
 
Thanks lisaf!!
I was really starting to freak out and trying to find out anything I could- none of it sounded good, you made me feel better. :flower:
I was also getting upset w/ my doc because she didn't explain anything to me. The nurse told me about the progesterone over the phone. I didn't realize I was lucky! Ok, I'm retracting any bad thoughts I had toward her!!

Yeah, I mean some girls have low progesterone and carry full-term just fine, but others will MC anytime they are not on the suppositories and carry full-term any time they are on them.

Some docs give an oral progesterone supplement... but its not as strong as the suppositories (they're fairly easy to insert, PM me if they confuse you.. took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to get the darned plastic off!! :haha: and kept thinking 'nah, they don't want me to insert it with the plastic still on it.. that looks SHARP').
Basically once you are pregnant, the suppositories will not hurt anything, but it can help.
