Thanks BG- hope u feel not too sick

HI all and isn't there alot of us now, that's great!
Possums I love that you have called your bub 'flicker' and wish I could come up with an equally quirky name for my two. My MIL keeps calling them jack and Jill which I don't appreciate much. I have everything crossed that all will be okay for you and DH with Flicker. It sounds like your clinic does alot of BT'ing. I had two more after the initial BFP. It is because of the levels? I had a scare at around 6wks with x2 bleeds and everything turned out okay, we were very surprised to see two babies growing. I really hope all is ok.
Shannon: how many weeks are you at the moment? just wondering after you mentioned you are measuring at 38wks. I have a vested interest as I am wondering how big I will get. My friend sent me an email and probably didn't realise it would freak me out. It was of a lady having triplets and her tummy growing, then afterwards. It was pretty scary.
Nixon: sorry to hear your grandma passed away recently. Hope you are okay.
Hi to everyone else and hope you are all travelling along well.
AFM: I have my first OB appointment next week. I had a previous appointment at the hospital and they rammed breast feeding down my throat. I felt quite overwhelmed when I left. It was like they assumed I was not going to do it and were out to convince me into it. I am quite open to the option, however now feel like I will be a failure if it doesn't work for any reason. Otherwise MS is gradually starting to disapate, however I am tired alot of the time. I am lucky that I work casually and can take or leave the work depending on how I feel. They have been really flexible around my needs now and during IVF.
Take it easy,
Queenh
Hi Queenh- good to hear things are going well and hope that first OB appt goes well. Some clinics/nurses can be a bit forceful/militant...you just always do what's right for you...and I am sure we all hope to breastfeed, but if for some reason we can't- that will be OK. I guess you do have so many more little worries and wonders come into your mind with having two peas in a pod
Yes, it's the levels they are worried about with me... this was my 3rd (and to be final) BT after the initial BFP test. The levels were at 8600, then only went to 10,500...which wasn't much of a rise and got the IVF nurse and then my OB concerned...even though they also said things could turn around and be ok, especially as we did already see a heartbeat last Friday...they were just a bit worried by those results that it's a sign of a problem as the levels should have jumped a lot more, which of course sent me into a tailspin. It's just a waiting game now and I figure the best I can do is be positive, for me and for our little Flicker.
Hi Girls,
I'm off to Canberra this arvo for the funeral tomorrow. I'm feeling a lot better now. Thanks Janie, Megan, Queenh and any one else I have missed for your thoughts and wishes.
Queenh - Maybe all the girls could submit ideas for nicknames for your dynamic duo? Then if you see one you like you could start using it?
Possums - I'm feeling the positive vibes are back with you. I'm glad. I hope this week flies by for you.
Anyway - speak to you next week....have a great weekend.
X
take care on your trip Nic - and remember to look after YOU and the sneak, as well as everyone else!
AFM - when does the icky queasiness go away? the last couple of days have been horrific - i just want to be able to throw up to be honest, but i can't seem to let go - am feeling so awful! spent a good hour last night with my head over a bucket - and NOTHIN! not loving it - would be easier if i could just be sick i'm sure, but nope, i have a very well trained body that doesn't like to let go (damn that upchuck phobia!). im still eating, just feeling ordinary - had to take maxalon just so i could sleep last night..... i guess it gives me confidence that the Gremlin is growing nicely - and that we definitely chose the right name in the Gremlin! apart from that, i'm starting to get excited - going on what i've worked out, i'm now about 7 weeks - woo hoo! will be good to hear what the FS has to say about EDD next week seeing my dates and the U/S don't match by a few days!
BG, it started to subside for me around 10 weeks, and was pretty much gone completely by around 13-14 weeks. You kind of don't notice it disappearing, strangely enough!
I ran into an OB friend of mine on Monday... she had another friend with her who has just had a baby. Both of us had morning sickness from ridiculously early, and knowing you did as well, the current theory is that PCOS girls get morning sickness from very early on. Sadly, there's no theory about when it goes as the other friend was puking madly right up until the day she delivered (as did my aunt with PCOS). Could be good news there, could be bad news too!
Nixon, I hope the funeral is a cathartic time of farewell. :hug: Travel safe.
I'm still feeling half dead. Head cold, or it could be a sinus infection, or it could just be crazy allergies, or it could be a mix of all three. Fortunately my psycho baby has decided to be a bit less psycho today so I'm not feeling so bruised and battered. DH had his hand on the bump and was shocked at just how much movement there was last night, and was even more shocked when I told him that this was a quieter moment for Munchkin... I'm really starting to worry how I'm going to keep up with this kid!
But there's a possible theory... I'm doped up on polaramine, a pregnancy safe antihistamine which is fairly heavily sedating. Big family reunion with DH's family over the weekend and we discovered that there seems to be a trend with phenergan making the little boys in the family really, really wired. I'm starting to wonder if my psycho baby is from the drugs I'm taking so that I can breathe/see. DH is apparently one of the ones made wired by phenergan, so it's entirely possible.
Need more tissues...

i hope i have MS that leaves EARLY! i know it's a comfort to know that it's there, but i was happy enough with low grade nausea i had first couple of weeks!
interesting theory about baby getting wired on antihistamine! add that to the sugar hit from GTT the other day, and you've got the potential for one hyperactive munchkin
Potential? No potential about it! Munchkin had me up from 1am to 4am Tuesday night (should I say Wednesday morning?) because he was so freaking active! He's a bit more sensible today so I'm really hoping it was just the GTT that did it.
Brings to mind all those people who suggest giving babies phenergan to make them sleep... I should offer to let them do it to Munchkin on the condition they look after him for the duration. Not that I ever would, of course.
BW
BW- hope you feel better soon
BG- and I hope your MS passes quickly..although at least you know Gremlin is doing well.... I kinda wish I had more symptoms , especially at the moment, as a sign of progress
Nixon- i hope the funeral goes well and you can say a special goodbye to your lovely gran
afm- trying to be positive still but very nervous in the background all the time...just wondering if it's all ok
waiting is hard
BG, my m/s has started to ease off this week. I still feel a bit dodgy late at night, but it no longer keeps me awake and feeling the need to reach for a bucket. It seems a bit unpredictable though. Last week I had two really good days followed by 2 shockers that were probably the worst I have felt. I am thinking positively though that I have come to end of the queasiness now. Hopefully you will notice yours calming down in a few weeks.
Nic, have a safe trip. Thinking of you. :hug:
BW, hope you start to feel better soon. Good to hear munchkin is behaving himself a bit today and giving you a bit of a break from being a punching bag! As much as I am looking forward to feeling movement....I'm scared at the same time!
Possums, keep trying to be positive. Is your scan still Friday?
update on our situation: Will now hopefully have a scan next monday or tuesday...not quite so long to wait. Very nervous at the thought of it. Trying to imagine all will be well and Flicker's heart will be flickering strong...but scared nevertheless since those HCG levels were lower than they should be. :crossfingers: :confused:
I just keep talking to my little one telling it to be strong :bellyrubs:
yay - only five more weeks of hell!!! hung up on poor DH so many times last night to grab for the bucket... he was getting a bit of a complex!
Possums - i only got hit really badly last couple of days, before that, i was feeling nothing for a while and starting to stress myself out really badly. i completely understand how much you're fretting at the moment, esp given your circumstances - i would be ringing to get the u/s moved forward...
ETA - you beat me!
Afternoon ladies only 1.5 days till the weekend is here...don't you just hate short weeks...they tend to drag...
Nic, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Gran, wishing you a safe trip tomorrow...
Megan, love the Avy...I can't wait to hit 12 weeks and change mine!!
Possum, glad to hear that you will be able to see flicker early next week.
Queenh, I actually think 'Two peas in a Pod' sounds very cute for your two little ones.
I'm even sure I've seen baby linen in BIG W and Target with peas on them.
BG, I hope the m/s fly's past for you and you are feeling better...
Everyone else I missed BIG :bellyrubs:
AFM, 4 sleeps till we can see our little June Bug. Am only a little dizzy from time to time and still have food food aversions to Chocolate and Coffee or anything sweet. Other than that not much else.
I spoke to a friend of mine who reassured me that she had Nothing during her pregnancy so as much as it must be reassuring to have symptoms I don't think we all get to experience it. But who knows I could wake up tomorrow feeling green.
One question I have is, is it normal to pass some small clear/milky CM this early? It only happened the once yesterday and nothing since??
Nicole, the mucus is completely normal. You'll get used to it... and liners will become your new best friend at some stage during the second trimester, or perhaps even earlier. The amount of discharge you normally have seems to increase rather amazingly in pregnancy.
BW
Nicole..lad to see I have reassured you with my lack of any pregnancy symptoms, hahaha! :D:lol:
Just to reassure any of you other lovely ladies who are worried they are not experiencing any of the usual signs of pregnancy. I am now 24 weeks and I think I have thrown up once and that was well into the second trimester. Other than that nothing, nada, zilch...not even a sore BB to talk about. I have been reassured by my OB that lack of symptoms do not spell disaster and every single women will experience different pgs signs and symptoms.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend
Belinda
Hello wow all so busy in here Nic I had CM that early and liners are my best friend now :)
AFM visit to GP for the first time in ages he was an OB to he is really happy the clot went and bubs is relsiant happy to leave me in the hands of the OB unless I want to see him. I know have a referal letter to get me through the rest of the PG with the OB
Belly starting to pop out more now too :bellyrubs:
TL- glad that went well, and it will be nice when you belly pops out a bit :D
BB73- I too like hearing some people dont have as many symptoms as others
