My ticker says 20 + 3, but yet again the scan measurements when we found the gender stated 19 + something, when i asked marcus he said that the 12 weeks scan measurements is what we should go by, so i am a few days behind, but would like to keep my ticker going on according to my LMP. LOL

Hi girls a quick hello since i've been up since like 530 and can't fall back asleep before work.

My tummy seems better. Still puking yesterday but pains are gone...so maybe Morning sickness from hell? Weird, I say.

Dew- for me, I took the aspirin entire cycle because I was under the impression it was to help with the implantation process as well and not build up any blod clots during this process which is a cause for very early (sometimes not known yet) MC. ...Most of what I read online about aspirin being so bad for babies and pregnancy seemed to be the full strength aspirin. Also, because I was somewhat clueless, asked my doctor what he thought and he said it was fine to take it, and fine to quit it when I wanted to. I just felt better after research to wait until placenta took over since that process in our body also causes a lot of natural blood clots, and this can cause first trimester MC in some women. So, being the MC freak I am, I took the chances since all information is SOOOOOO contradictory and it worked for me. I hope that helps a bit, I can't give true, solid facts because really, there are none. One more reason I took it was that a woman I worked with was seeing high risk doctors for pregnancies and she had a MC and for her next one she was actually advised to go on the baby aspirin and she had to keep taking it until the end of her pregnancy. This is why I was so scared to quit it now but my doc said no, doesn't need to be continued. But her story of being told to go on it to prevent MC really helped make my deicision. Good luck!

Ok, now I have no time for anything else except to say hello everyone and miss you and tomoorrow I dont work until night time so can come say hi or maybe today after my daughter's field trip that im going on right after work! Ciao!

NY, glad you are doing better, hope your nauseas disappears soon too
Thanks for your thoughts on aspirin. I am really going by my gut instincts right now, let's see how long I take it have a great day. We had few windows open last night and the house so cold this morning

Flying, I had Car battery replaced for US $140 just last week, it was giving similar problem as yours. Glad it's up and running now so you have one less thing to worry about.

NDH, so happy for you. Soon you'll be in second trimester awesome!!

AFM, another big rise in temp, so that's good. Have started exercising and swimming which makes me happy

Good luck Sarah!!

Im baaacccck!

first of all Im really tired and going for a nap! I got up at 6am which early for me and had to travel in the car 2 hours to get downtown toronto for 8am. Its right at rush hour when people are travelling into work so a nightmare. I got there 8:30 right on the dot.

so first I had blood taken and man that hurt and I have a massive bruise as she did it not right in the crease of my elbow but over and down a bit. I dont have much luck at this hospital with them putting needles in me...when i had my polyp operation it took him about 4 tries

then I was taken in for my ultrasound, I didnt realize it was a vaginal one...I was thinking as its day 3 and Im bleeding it would be on the tummy like when you are pregnant but it wasnt. kinda weird getting nude when you have your period but I guess they are used to that with day 3 ultrasounds! my left was 4.98 and right 4.25 whatever that means.

then I was taken to see the nurse, I did ask her some questions and she was ok but not THAT helpful. I was asking if it helps the eggs maturity and she didnt really answer that but said it helps stimulate more follicles. I guess the idea is that at my age I have X amount of eggs left and some are good and some are bad. So each month I pop out one egg which could be good or bad. With clomid more are stimulated and released each month, making it more likely a good egg will be released within the average of 3 months of using it. Theres a 10% chance of multiples, which is 9% more than average. So that shows that even with multiple eggs being released many dont get fertilized.

So I am starting 100mg today for 5 nights, just have to wait for them to call me and say its ok after looking at my blood results. I asked how come 100mg and she said thats what my Dr finds is the most successful and her being the head of fertility at the hospital she has a lot of experience with this drug and dosage. She went through the side effects and suggested taking at night as its better for more people.

I also asked her if one month we wanted to try IUI and she said yes at anytime we can choose that, and she showed me the device they use to put up in the uterus, it was very small. Its $350 per session so not too bad.

I go back next Friday which is CD11 for more blood work and another ultrasound so they can see how I responded to the clomid. Fingers crossed it doesnt over stimulate me otherwise the cycle will be cancelled. So Im hoping Im ok on it, I guess I will know over the next few days. After that appointment we use the ov tests and BD as normal and I dont go back till next cycle if I need to start allover again.

so that about it! I have to run as Im late with work, will check back on here later

Very interesting update Sarah.

 

[MummyCat]

Flying congrats on 22 weeks

NDH congrats on 11 weeks! Lime baby yeah!!!! I have no clue about satisfying a craving of a food from another country! Other than to suggest you try your best to recreate it with what you have that's similar?

Sarah... fab news about clomid.. how awkward about the internal scan. I'd have been rather self conscious... you're brave for getting through it!!! Keeping everything crossed that all goes well!!

xx

 

[Dew]

Thanks for the interesting update Sarah. Really excited for you...hope everything works out great Did you ask about baby aspirin?

no I completely forgot! the nurse wasnt the greatest. I asked about reactine as my allergies are bad this week and she said they would let me know when they call about the bloodwork.

 

[Huggles]

Glad the appointment went well! I would have also been super embarrassed having a vaginal scan whilst bleeding. But i guess they would be used to it as almost everyone would still be bleeding on CD3.
Fx'd it works!

 

[babyhopes2323]

so glad the appointment went well!! x sorry you had to have the scan internally. ugh !


but it all sounds positive and im excited to find out the outcome of it all. FX'D........

When I had my vaginal U/S during pregnancy, lights were always dim in the room, plus we are covered with sheet and technician only looks at it while inserting the wand/stick so I guess it's not that bad

Currently I also have bad allergies, earlier I used to take Claritin or Zyrtec but now I avoided taking anti-histamine as they give me dry mouth and makes me thirsty so I assumed they might dry up my CF too

 

[Huggles]

Dew - i also had my first pg scan vaginally, that's not what's embarrassing. It's the fact that she's still bleeding whilst they do it that's embarrassing.

Earlier I used to be very embarrassed/uncomfortable while getting PAP smear done but multiple U/S and pelvic examinations during PG has made me overcome those inhibitions. During some of those examinations I was spotting too so they would ask me to put a square pad between sheets and me to avoid staining so it is more of an inconvenience rather than embarrassment for me now. I guess the stress/fear of losing my pregnancy didn't have me focus on such things at that time but I do understand what you mean

 

[sherylb]

My husband is so good to me. My stupid cat allergies were keeping me up last night and my whole body was itching. Finally at 2:30 I told hubby I needed to go wash my hair and had him change the sheets while I was in the shower. I guess I need to be more careful about being sure to shower in the evening and not wear lounge clothes in bed that I wore around the cats.

 

[Dew]

Yes Sheryl, be more careful. So sweet of your hubby to wake up in the middle of his sleep to help you

 

[flyingduster]

Wow, that all sounds quite interesting Sarah, though the internal sucks, it'll be really interesting to hear how it all follows up!!! At least it'll help this month to go by faster with info coming in!! hehe. GOOD LUCK!


Ok, so I'm 22 weeks. Which isn't the scariest bit. The scary bit is that there's only 5 weeks until I hit the THIRD tri!! Wtf!? Eeep!

 

[Huggles]

Happy 22 weeks flying!

And wow sheryl, 17 weeks today!
Nice of your hubby to change the sheets for you in the middle of the night

 

[sherylb]

I guess I should have mentioned that we were both not sleeping. He is very sensitive to his surroundings and has trouble falling assleep so my tossing and turning was keeping him awake anyway.
