Update - called my doc and as i thought she's off today so i still left a msg as she's often in on her days off or will call me tomoro. It's getting better for now so unless it gets worse i'll leave it till tomoro, if it gets worse i'll call the hospital. But i was thinking, i did yoga for the first time yesterday since preganant(teacher did yoga through her entire pregnancys so knows how to be careful etc) but maybe thats what caused it?? Fingers crossed that is all.
Sorry i havent posted in a few days. I finally got my blood test results this morning my HCG levels from the blood test i had on Monday were 47,000, the lady said according to their scale i'm 1-2months, i'll have another blood test done tomorrow when i go into town. And then have a scan done sometime next week.
Sparkles- So glad it has settled down. I'd definitely go get a scan it will likely be the only thing that will put your mind at rest but be assures old blood is super common.
Bonham- that sounds like a great level with the Hcg We both have blood tests
tomorrow.
Cherished- Whooo 10 weeks that's awesome
AFM- Well I actually threw up this morning, that is my first ever chuck from MS. It seems ridiculous to be so happy about being sick I'm really hoping its a good sign for tomorrows blood test. What surprised me was how little warning I got I was only nauseous for about 20 seconds before I had to pull over and throw up. I went straight to the chemist for the MS tablets.
bonham - those bloods sound good! Keep it up and you'll have a beautiful bundle of cuddles and squirms at the end of it all
sparkles - don't know if yoga could do it or not but it's always possible that the exercises and breathing etc. could clear out some old blood that's hanging around. There are specific pregnancy yoga classes available most places as well which could be worth investigating.
greenslw - thanks for posting the link to your birth story. A truly amazing experience and I'm so pleased that it all went well for you
sunbeam! Congrats on your first upchuck!!! Hope there are many more to come! I'm sure tomorrow's blood test will be a great result, make sure you confirm that with us though! lol
Thanks for the encouraging words Sunbeam & LittleOnes
Goodluck for the B/T tomorrow Sunbeam, when will you know your results?. I'll hopefully know by Friday but seeing as i've been stuffed around getting results it wouldnt suprise me i i had to wait until Monday. Yes the m/s doesnt give you much warning does it.
AFM: the nausea has been hanging around all day yesterday and today, i have to eat as soon as i start to feel nauseated otherwise i think i'd be sick.
bonham - cherished was saying a week or so ago that she helped to combat the morning sickness by eating dry crackers during the night when she woke. Maybe that will help you? My sis used to always tell me to have a sandwich by the bed for eating before getting up in the morning, maybe get DF to bring you one of a morning? Just vegemite or something relatively bland. Good luck with it hon, sounds promising at any rate so don't give up!!!
LittleOnes: thanks for the advice, with DD when i actually started "chucking" i ate water crackers before getting out of bed and they helped, with our angel they didnt work and so far as long as i'm not sick and just nauseated i'll just take what comes. DF isnt home during the week as he works away in Canberra.
I'll be going into town early tomorrow to have the blood test done.
Sparkles: Hope you’re feeling a bit better now. I still check the toilet paper every now and then to see if there’s anything on it... Keep smiling try to relax remember you’re pg!!
BonHam: Great HCG levels, I had mine levels done last week and they 32,000 which works out about right for our bubs – Good luck with your scan
Sunbeam: YAY on the chuck honey! I tend to have a build up sensation before I throw up, it gives me about 5min warning, just in time to run from my classroom to the bathroom... Thankfully I work with another woman who knows, she’s very understanding of my sudden disappearances lol
LittleOnes: Not long now, hope the weather isn’t too hot for you and bubs.
AFM: Today we discovered that not only do I get DSL but my wonderful DF has started too – poor thing had to take the day off work he was so sick – I didn’t believe him at first, but when he called to tell me he had starting getting cravings for Chocolate, Lemonade and Ice Cream I knew something was up.. This man can’t stand to finish a Macca’s cone coz it’s too sweet for him... On the upside today is the first day I didn’t throw up, so lets hope I can pass my ms onto him.. Does that sound too mean??
Bonham yes I can still vouch for eating during the night as I've only thrown up once in the last couple of weeks I will eat just one little square of a dry biscut during the night and it seems to be working, also having ribina when I first get up helps get the sugar up quicky than I can et my toast or have a smoothie etc. Hop eyour blood test goes well
Greenslw I read your birth story, it was wonderful, thanks so much for sharing and i hope you are all well xoxoxo
Sparkles How ar eyou going today? any update?
Sunbeam YAY for being sick Woohooo
LittleOnes (I miss yoru old username ) But I Loooove littleOnes too cause I also refer to out unborn bubs as the little ones I know I'm very lucky with this mild ms! In fact if I wasn't dry reaching every now and than I really wouldn't have any sick feeling at all! Thank goodness I am tired though or I woudl be very worried that something is wrong... Having said that my 12 week scan can't come quick enough!!!!!
HPL I think my hubby has ms one night but not since then, I think its great
AFM I went to bed at 7:30 last night and I actually wanted to crash jsut after 6pm plus I'd had a nana nap during the day! Is anyone else sleeping like no tomorrow? I'm off on a romantic weekend for valentines day this weekend and i can't wiat. Anyone else doing anything special?
Cherished - I have afternoon naps when DS sleeps and then b 89:30 I'm ready for bed, so I hear you on the need for sleep. Have fun on your romantic week-end. We have no plans here.
HPL - I still check the toilet paper too though it's become obsessive for me. I check it EVERY single time I go to the loo. I can't stop myself. I'm hoping after my next U/S I'll be able to stop worrying so much. Sorry to hear both you and Dh have MS.
Bonhom - your bloods sounds great, i hope your next set is way up and you can finally stop worrying and wondering what the heck is going on. Fingers and toes crossed for more good results. The nausea (though crummy) is also a good sign.
Sunbeam - yay on chucking. Not fun but at least its reassuring.
Sparkles - Hope the spotting has stopped completely by now. I have had bleeding in both my pregnancies that turned out to be nothing so I hope yours is nothing too.
Smallfry - hope baby stops dancing on your cervix soon and that you have a nice lunch out with the girls.
AFM - Well 17 weeks and still feeling crummy. I'm functional but I constantly feel like I'm going to gag or start retching. The only time I don't feel like this is when I'm stuffed full of food and then I feel gross for being too full. I can't win LOL. I'm showing a little bit in the right clothes but I really feel it. The pressure on my bladder is horrible already and my stomach feels so heavy, and tired and stretched. The only way I'm comfy sleeping is on my back but i know I'm not supposed to so I spend all night tossing a turning form side to side trying to get comfortable and sleeping very little. Thankfully I'm still feeling excited through it all.
Thanks for asking cherished and everyone else
The joys of living in a small town, i have called the ultrasound lady and left a message to try and move my scan to tommorow instead of monday as we can only get them certain days without travelling hours. Have not heard back from doctor but who knows if she even got the message cause she's usually really good, if haven't heard anything by lunch will call again. Not much going on, no spotting so thats good, i am really worried of course but at the same time no one can stop nature taking it's (unbelievably frustrating) course if that is what is going to happen, so i'll hang tight and keep you all updated. Positive one minute, crying the next, i really wish i had a window in my tummy. Thanks for all the kind words and support!

Well its been a rough night. I was having a dull pain in my right side from 9pm last night. I was able to get to sleep but then woke at 11pm. My housemate saw my light on and when she saw me she insisted on taking me to the hospital. They took bloods and booked an ultra sound for this morning, so of course I had to stay in ( knew I should have packed a bag but at least i remembered my socks, I remembered how freezing it is in the ultra sound room!) Well the bloods came back good hcg now 1400 (doubling every 54 hours) but unfortunately nothing to see on the US ( the net says it is unlikely you will see much till hcg is 2000). I have been ordered to rest (so miss my best friends birthday up the Sunshine coast this weekend but I know she'll understand) and have bt again tomorrow and another scan with my Obst. on monday morning. I know they are worried about it being ectopic but from what I've read there is only a 1 in 100 chance of this and my hcg would not be doing as well as it is. I mentioned to my obst. could it just be that bub implanted late and is still too small to see yet and he said thats very possible so I'm sticking with this until I know other wise. This would also explain my low hcgs at the begining and which would suggest I'm about a week behind where I though I was.
Sorry for the all about me post but I just wanted to update before I jump in the shower and get all unhospitaly. I'll keep you updated.
Just a quick update - spoke to a nurse today, she was lovely, my ultrasound has been moved to tomorrow at 10.30am, don't know what to expect, so i'll let you all know. No more spotting, so fingers crossed for a positive outcome.
Just a quick post girls sorry for no persies just wanted to tell Sunbeam i had a similar experience at 8 weeks. Had a terrible sharp pain in my right side for about 4 or 5 days and one sunday at work it was that bad i couldnt even stand up. I went into emergency and the doctor thought it was eptopic and i was stressing about that too but the pain was caused from a cyst on my ovary which is quite common on the ovary you ovulated from. The cyst burst and had no pain since. Hopefully its a similar outcome for you, keeping everything crossed and thinking of you xo
Sparkles & Sunbeam - so far sounding good, I'm waiting anxiously for some really good news from both of you. Sending you both good thoughts and lots of sticky vibes.
Sooo...i have some good news, bubs is measuring at 7w3d (3 days ahead what i thought) and strong heartbeat of 156 bpm. So relieved right now, No reasons for the spotting, thinking it was probably caused by the yoga dislodging some old blood. First hurdle out of the way and fingers crossed!!
Thankyou all for your kind words and thoughts.
Hope everyone else is well xx
