Hey Ladies, hope everyone is feeling OK today. I am actually feeling pretty good...which of course makes me worried, lol.
Bumpyride - That really sucks that your doctor is so uncommunicative and makes you feel so powerless. Pregnancy should be an empowering experience, and if I were you I would ask for an explanation as to why the additional HCG is necessary. I know it is hard to sometimes stand up to doctors because they tend to intimidate us with fancy words, but it is part of their job to inform and empower their patients (as far as I am concerned). I also teach biology, so the explanation might make more sense to me, but still I think it is worth asking...at least the doctor will see you as being strong, informed and critical which may mean more respect for you. Will this be your doctor for the whole pregnancy? If so, it is definitely worth speaking up now!
My MS has so far not progressed past minor queasiness, nausea and random gagging. It is actually not bad at all, which I ***know*** is a good thing, but of course I worry that it should be getting worse? I have definitely been a pickier eater and had some aversions, but really...I feel OK.
I also have been lazy with a lack of energy, but really not too extreme and have still been up until 11pm without feeling too tired!
Hate to complain about feeling good, but you all know what I mean!
Also...how is everyone doing in the sex department? I hate to admit...we have yet to have sex since conceiving
dohh
mostly because I have not been into it which I think is twofold 1) We had SO much more than usual while TTC and 2) I don't want to do anything that might cause any harm in any way. If you have a threatened miscarriage they say to NOT have sex so obviously in some situations it can be dangerous. I was thinking of just initiating *other* things, until the second trimester...but maybe we should just go all out?!
. I really want to know my levels!
