Pregnant after MTHFR diagnosis

[amjon]

I have a question about the Lovenox. I went to the doctor today and got the script and then went back for them to show me how. Dr. Idiot was the one that showed me (and he clearly knows nothing about fertility/ early pregnancy), so I'm a bit worried he may have showed me wrong. He stabbed it straight into my stomach, straight down. Is that how you do yours or do you do it kind of from the side, pinching the skin?

Im sure your scan will be fine hun, sure sounds like you still have good symtoms.

amjon- i use heparin so simular..i put it straight in with out pinching skin ..but never put it in where theres bruses. If you want you can put ice on the spot where youl inject it and it numbs it.

Amjon - they told me to pinch the fat on my outer thighs or to the left or right of my belly button. To reduce bruising, keep holding the fat until the needle is out. I swipe an alcohol pad first, then wait until it dries and pinch the skin and go straight in. I also alternate between left thigh, right thigh, right stomach, left stomach. Usually by the time I come back around the same spot, the bruising has gone down significantly. Hope this helps!

Have you got morning sickness yet emily?

Ive been feeling like im going to vomit but havnt quite yet..

Thanks Amanda!

I've been feeling queasy since week 5 but not vomiting. I had really bad acid reflux until I started taking Pepcid AC which I think was making me nauseated. My bbs are still sore but not like they were. I am still really tired, going to bed around 9 most nights. I'm trying not to worry about symptoms though because I know they can come and go. I'm just ready to find out what's going on in there!

Let me know how your draw goes!

I think I'm going to wait until 10 weeks, which would be about 5 weeks from now. I may go for one at 8 weeks. My hcg seemed to be climbing so quickly I think I may have more than one, but won't know until we have a scan.

Oh wow that will make it more exciting for you, today my whole bodys been aching real bad and have bad headache too..im going to go for scan next fortnight so should be 8w3d

I didn't get to have my u/s Friday!! My doctor said that since I was only 6w5d, she wanted to wait until I was completely 7 weeks to do the scan. She did do an internal exam and said everything "Felt like" 6 weeks. I have an appointment at 4 tomorrow for the u/s... Gotta go through all of that anxiety again!! She called me this morning and gave me my bloodwork results: hcg 101,794 and progesterone 32. So all looks good so far!

They only did urine at the doctor, but use a much lower sensitivity than the FRER I use. I got a barely BFP on Friday. A clear BFP on Saturday. Then the doctor did theirs (with very dilute urine, think I may have a bit too much water ) on Monday. The MW said she was very surprised theirs came back positive before I was even late for AF (she was due Tuesday or Wednesday).

That's great you saw the heartbeat!! I hope we get to see a baby today. I've never made it past 6 weeks, but I am 7w2d today. Both of mine were MMCs though so who knows what's going on in there. I am pretty nervous for this afternoon. It will be the moment of truth I guess!

 

[TTC#1Amanda]

Im praying for the best! Goodluck and hope all is well

 

[Emily7287]

[Emily7287]

You ladys have morning sickness?

I've been getting queasy throughout the day but I think most of it is coming from my severe acid reflux. It is HORRIBLE!!!

 

[Crystal5483]

Is it ok I'd I follow you? I just got diagnosed today with homozygous MTHFR but have yet to see the doctor. I'm also allergic to aspirin
