Those TTC for awhile.

That's great Sarah! Progesterone was one thing inwas really worried about when I got my bfp. I called my clinic and requested a check and they did it for me. Turned out it was normal. Mine was also on the low side before pregnancy, but not low, just low normal

 

[sarahuk]

See thats why im worried...mine was so low they said I didnt ovulate at all. First cycle check it was 18 when it should have been 30. Second time it was 20.8. I had a check this cycle too but was done by the FS so I dont know what the levels were.

I know pre pregnancy progesterone levels being low doesnt mean ill have low progesterone persay when I get a fertilized and implanted beany but still..be nice to know for sure.

Problem I have now is that my doc, if they do think i need the check, wont blood test me till monday. And we both know if i have low progesterone, without the suppositories I might not get that far. Really want them to check and hope they will since the last one could have been as a result of low progesterone.

Luckily the doctor whos calling me is the really nice one...if I turn on the tears I might get the referral today for bloodworks at the hospital

Hows u all doing today? Other than being sicky Rach!

[moter98]

I hope they give you that blood test today Sarah. I was surprised myself that they let me have it. The results took forever though as my clinic had to send this test out. If you are getting done at hospital I would think you will get results same day?
It is true though that prepregnancy profesterone doesn't mean much once you are pregnant. The rising hcg is supposed to trigger your body to start producing more progesterone.

 

[sarahuk]

Yep you are indeed right Tina! Doctor called me and he was lovely. He checked back and said that when I had my levels done in the past, it wasnt that they were saying zero ovulation, just that they were inclusive (i.e that it was possible that my cd days were not right...that i wasnt having it done 7days past ov).

He said that hes not too worried about progesterone at this point but that the important thing with my history is to make sure my levels are doubling so im booked in for my betas..which will then lead me to the epu for early scan if they dont fall.

Mind at rest. He said I shouldnt worry about having a loss from progesterone as like you said..post pregnancy progesterone is different.

So now all I need to do is relax and chill and hope for the sticky First bloods on tuesday

[moter98]

Great news Sarah! Praying for a super sticky bean for you

Rooster, I hope you feel better soon. Do you have cold like symptoms you mean? Get as much rest as you can and remember to drink a lot of fluids!

 

[sarahuk]

Must be awful getting sick when pregnant...not much you can take!

Im frustrated...started with laryngitis months and months ago and its never cleared up. Spoke to the doc about it today and he thinks im having "silent acid reflux" (basically feflux im not aware of) that might be irritating my vocal cords. I cant have the treatment

You ladies have nice weekends planned? x

Faythe...35wks today isnt it? No time at all left now how exciting! x

 

[moter98]

There are safe meds to take for reflux while pregnant. I take zantac or Prevacid as needed. Dr said its ok. Category b med. what kind of treatment would the dr do?

 

[sarahuk]

They need to give me this med apparently that halts production of stomach acid, well...reduces it a lot. And so I wouldnt reflux and burn the hell out of my vocal chords. But not safe.

Its not majorily important I suppose...ive been with this condition for ages now, jsut finding it a bit embaressing. Some days I can tlak, some I cant lol. x

 

[moter98]

Oh. Yeah the meds that stop acid production aren't safe of course. Only the acid reducing ones are. How ironic is it that at the time in your life when you feel the worst is when you can hardly take anything for it.

 

[sarahuk]

Its all worth it tho im sure Have you had the reflux bad with this one then chick? x

 

[moter98]

I did yes. I had everything all at once. Nausea, heartburn, extreme gas and bloating. I didn't sleep more than an hour at a time for weeks. I finally got desperate and took the Prilosec. Helped a lot, but time is what really did it. I've not had any of that in second tri so far. Was a lot more sick this time than last, by a lot! But, it's worth it and over with now thank god, lol!

 

[moter98]

I have reflux bad in general anyways. Flare ups about once a month. Pregnancy just makes it happen much more frequently. And of course I cannot take the really good meds that would cure it.

 

[Faythe]

Afternoon ladies. Am BUSHED! My Mum came over to see me and then dropped me off at Sineads (neadyda) for the afternoon. Was lovely to see her and little Leo. Got squishy cuddles and even got to give him some of his bottle

The walk home was a killer. Starting to realise that there are things I cannot do anymore, and walking is one of those things unless it's a short trip.

Yeah Sarah, 35 weeks. 35 days to go..... eeeek!

xx

 

[sarahuk]

I guess with everything starting to be pushed upwards too...its only going to get worse Tina!

Aww Faythe lol Well...you doing well if u ask me to get to 35wks and just realise that Youve been a trooper. My sister was one of thsoe that the second she found out she was pregnant she did feck all until birth and for about 6 months after lol x

 

[moter98]

Yeah, it will be back again in third tri. Then back to sleepless nights and sleeping upright.

Faythe, happy 35 weeks!

 

[Faythe]

I can't stand those sort of people who treat pregnancy like an illness. World ain't gonna stop is it? lol!

 

[Faythe]

Here's the dress I'm wearing on Sunday for a christening. Hope it looks OK!

 

[moter98]

Looks great! I've just ordered a dress for a wedding next month. Can't wait to get it!

 

[Faythe]

I got stuck in it haha. Had to get Chris to help me get it off.

 

[moter98]

Lol! Just make sure he's there next time you put it on
