Hi ladies,
Not really much going on here. Probably won't be until our next scan next friday. I'm also interested in knowing if my cervical length is dwindling. It went from 3.9 to 3.7 last week. It's still a very good length but knowing it went down just a bit makes me wonder if this means it will keep going or maybe it will come to a hault and never get past the dangerous 2cm numbers.
I heard from the compound pharmacy making my 17P today. They needed more information from insurance company and then needed to bill us the rest. The excellent news is that the months dose only costs us 25.00. Some of you know a couple worse case scenarios were 5,000.00 until the FDA came out to say they wouldn't follow through on cease and desist letters that the initial pharmaceutical company was dishing out to the compound pharmacists who made the drug cheaper.
The second scenario was having to pay a total of 400.00 out of pocket for the 20 or so weeks I'd be on the injections. When I found out that it will only cost us a total of 100.00 for the total time we actually need it I was EXTATIC!!
I'm told the injections are PAINFUL and one of my friends who'se on it right now says it takes a week for the pain to go away and then of course the next injection is due. I'm willing to suck it up if it calms the cervix and keeps this baby in. My hope is that I won't have any other issues with incompetant cervix where the length will dwindle and cause me to have a cerclage in the next few weeks.
At any rate, all seems to be well so far though I was called the other day and told they found bacteria in my urine. Since being in the hospital with the bacterial infection, I was being treated with Flagyl so I'm hoping that took care of it. We'll test the urine again next friday with hopes it's all gone.
Looking forward to seeing baby and hearing his or her heartbeat on Friday. it always seems to put peace in my heart and mind.
Glad your all doing well. Love the beautiful scans.
