happy new year ladies , i have high hopes everyone will work out well for us all!

angela yeah if i gave birth now he probably need abit of help lung wise but overall be grand, it depends on his weight, he should be approx 5.5 lbs which is good.
ive reached the im so uncomfortable stage, up til now i was doing well. but weve ordered a new mattress thank god my husband asked me what i wanted for my birthday which is the 10th of jan and i said please just let us get a new mattress my back is in bits
i just tell myself just 5 weeks left. i woke with unbearable pain like period cramps so i think its confirmed it for me that it was a uti so i started the antibiotics before mondays results i hope it works asap.

angela im so excited youve started meds!! keep us updated

 

[Aphy]

Happy New Year everyone!

Angela,do your meds have any side effects or anything? I cannot tell you how excited I am for you! I'm convinced this is going to be a good year for both you and Krissie!

Wednesday marks the 2nd tri for me but boy has this week been hard. The all-day-sickness really picked up in intensity this whole week with me being sick numerous times a day,my itchy legs from the begging of pregnancy is back,and I have had a migraine for the past 3 days so far non stop so it hasn't been great my side. Really hoping all goes well at our scan on Wednesday

Red,glad you got your new mattress,I hope your back is feeling much better!

Hope everyone else is doing good!

 

[AngelaALA]

Red we got a new mattress too as our one Im not going to lie must have been atleast 10-12 years old it was awful but now my god I sleep lke a baby I hope your new mattress is amazing hun and the pain goes away it could be that braxton hics prepping you for the arrival I cant wait for the news that your baby is here x

Aphy sounds awful I hope thats one last bout before it disappears for good MS sounds dreadful not looking forward to that and I cant wait to hear news back about your scan got everything crossed for you xx


AFM sorry been MIA I have been reading the thread keeping up to date but been so busy xmas and other things work etc.. plus nothing really to report yet Im halfway through tablets finish them on 9th they stop you from bleeding then start AF within a few days of stopping them.

I have noticed that they make me slightly hormonal like I want to cry but for no reason at all and also Ive had a bad skin outbreak of spots on my chest and back which is grim but heres hoping it clears up once the meds have stopped xx

 

[krissie328]

Dogmommy- how are you doing? Did you do another beta?

Angela- I'm so excited for you. Fx all these side effects lead to your sticky bean.

Afm, 8 dpo so just waiting. We are snowed in right now so hoping dh brings me some tests when he comes home tonight.

 

[dogmommy]

Congrats vankiwi, beautiful name

Red not long for you!! Happy early birthday.

Angela all the meds I took made me very weepy!

Aphy I hope the 2ND tri is easier on you. How was your scan?

How are you feeling Sarah, krissie, and brandi?

I unfortunately have terrible news. I started bleeding pretty heavy over the weekend. went in for an emergency beta and it had dropped. Nurse said it was early miscarriage and I would pass it naturally. It ruined our new year eve but we moved on. The bleeding stopped and I felt great. Today I had to get a beta to be sure the number went back to 0. To our surprise the number was now 300 (higher than its ever been) the nurse explained this was not good and could possibly mean it's ectopic pregnancy. So now we wait till Monday and any pain between now and then I must go to emergency room

 

[krissie328]

Oh hun I'm so sorry! I hope it turns out not to be ectopic.

 

[Vankiwi]

Oh dogmommy I hope it's not ectopic! How many DPO are you effectively now?

 

[Aphy]

oh no Dogmommy, that sounds scary. I really hope that your body was just playing around and its actually a sticky bean stuck where it should and not ectopic! Fx for you! I can only imagine how far away Monday must feel...we all here to support you whatever happens xxx

 

[RedRose19]

awww no dog mommy im sorry, i hope that its not ectopic got my fingers crossed for you. xx

 

[sarah2211]

Oh no dog mommy, hoping everything turns out ok for you!!

Aphy, I've had itchy legs too. I thought it was just a hay fever/seasonal thing!

I've been feeling really tired and just general nausea most days all day. I'm a little worried to think I'm feeling this way at not even 6 weeks . I'm hoping I'll either have my scan late next week or early the following week.

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy my heart goes out to you and I have absolutely everything crossed for you that you get good news I know quite a few women friends and family who all had heavy bleeds in their first tri and there babies are doing just fine I hope that happens for you too xx

Sarah I also know people who had MS all the way through pregnancy from day one right till the end I hope it doesnt last that long but dont fret about it xx

 

[RedRose19]

sarah tyr not worry, ms is a great sign, i had it super early with my son and it lasted right til 16 weeks annoyingly, this baby is didnt hit proper til about 7/8 weeks and it was gone by 11 weeks so every pregnancy/person is different . just see it as a reassuring sign, although i know not nice.
i had dr appt today routine, mentioned ive my hands red raw from scratching and she called for urgent blood tests i should have results today but she was concerned about my liver, i also said id the same with jamie but didnt think there was anything wrong. anyway if i have oc it would answer alot of questions for this and last pregnancy. just a waiting game now!

 

[Vankiwi]

Red hopefully it's not OC! Good they're checking it out.

 

[brandi91]

Red, you may have said this earlier and I just missed it, but what is OC? I hope that you are feeling better!!!

Sarah, how is everything going?

Angela, any IVF updates???

Dogmommy, is there any chance that your sweet baby could still be hanging on, or did the doctors confirm miscarriage? Have you had anymore bleeding? I am praying that there are no issues and for good news!!!!!

Nothing to update here. I've been feeling a little bit more at peace with everything...I have had no changes, I ran out of Vitex on accident about two weeks ago and haven't ordered anymore. I guess because I feel like it isn't doing anything, and that if Clomid and Femara were a complete failure, then Vitex isn't going to do the trick. I'm disappointed in myself about the dieting as well. I've fallen off the bandwagon with that.

I'm just trying to be positive and use this time to do things I want to do. I've spent the last couple of nights learning to knit and made a scarf! I feel like little projects like that help to keep my mind off of things, but it doesn't make me want a baby any less.

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks ladies. I'm trying not to fret about the ms. I hate the nausea and vomiting and it makes me feel really anxious. I've found today that a lot of the nausea is caused by having an empty stomach and I think indigestion/gas. Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones and it disappears quickly.

 

[TTCBean]

I have two Clomid babies and will start TTC #3 with Clomid next month! I got a prescription and the okay to start end of Nov. but got a flu, then a cold, then holidays, and now I'm sick again LOL.

Thinking I should go back to fertility doc to make sure its ok to start again or should I just take it? I don't get my AF or O on my own, so hes just having me start w/o a period.

 

[AngelaALA]

Red any update and like Brandi what is OC?

Brandi so glad your keeping occupied what will be your next step hun xx

Sarah Im sure MS will pass quickly heres hoping xx

Welcome TTCBean heres hoping you get lucky third time xx

 

[krissie328]

Welcome TTCBean. Fx it is a short journey to #3.

Angela & Brandi- OC is Obstetrics Cholestasis which is a reduced flow of bile down the bile ducts in the liver. Some bile then leaks out into the bloodstream, in particular the bile salts. It causes intense itching commonly on the palms of the hands and feet.

Angela- how are you doing? Af should be here soon, I think?

Dogmommy- thinking of you hun.

Af arrived yesterday. I had a snow day so I spent it nurturing myself and DS. I also called and made an appointment at the fertility clinic for Feb. 20th. I looked up my charts for the last year and I have ovulated in 9 our of 12. I have had two chemicals. I think it is finally time to take that next step.
