WTH - for you for your little sticky one. Hoping those pessaries do the trick. Remember our thoughts are with you. STICK little one
Betty - your bt results are looking good
PLC - I'll miss you, when you leave us, don't forget to pop in every now and then, hopefully we will all be able to join you before you leave PAML. I'm so happy for you that everything is going well. Won't be long and you'll have your little one in your arms (it just goes so fast).
Easha - good luck catching that eggy.
Jen & Krystie - you guys are so funny - Hey Krystie I love the picture of the "cool jen chick" LOL.
I can't believe how many pages we go through in one day. I went off to bed early last night (all by myself), I'd had a late night monday night with a meeting and then up early tuesday morning to send my son off to school by 6am for his excursion, come back this morning and pages and pages later (almost). By the way for anyone in Sydney - his comments "Gee that Sydney is big" (can you tell we live in a country town - actually it's a small city - but he hasn't been anywhere that big for about 6 years). It's too quiet here without my youngest DS. I wonder if he would mind if I went and got him from camp. Actually I think he would, there was about 70 kids jumping around the school hall yesterday morning, they were so excited (it was so cute). I'm sure he will be one tired boy by the time he gets home on Friday. AFM - Just waiting (if you find out how to do the TWW coma let me know)
Thank you all you sweet ladies for your kind thoughts and vibes. I barely slept three hours last night, which I know does not help things. I am just on such a big downer. I am so sick of being told I am "very unlucky".
BetttyBoop - how much progesterone are you taking. My FS has been very conservative and just asked me to take 1x100mg a night, but from what I have read, it does not stay in your body that long and you need to take it twice a day. What are you doing???
Hi Jen - just thought i'd pop in and say hello seeing as though we are both awake at the same time. I'm working at the moment (shhhh) the kids are eating their morning teas before we head outside to play (3, 2 & almost 2 year olds). Temps are looking good for both of us, glad to see AF packing her bags at your place, have a good talk with her before she leaves, let her know she is really unwelcome and you don't want to see her for a long while. Anyway, i'll just pop out and get back to work now.
for everyone. Hoping this thread sees lots and lots of BFP's.
WTH - Thinking of you and sending lots of your way.
My next scan is the NT scan on Thu next week. A little bit nervous but I still just have that feeling that everything is going to be ok. Will pop in and let you know how it all goes.
WTH: whoever told you you're unlucky should be shot. seriously. that is sooooo WRONG. who says things like that. insensitive pr*ck$%@* i the progesterone works & keep your little one with you, alive & kicking... please stay strong...
Me again. Tired and not focusing too well on my tasks today...
Vanaithi, Jen, AJC, Mollycat - thanks for your continued support this morning.
So, here's a question:
Do you think I would be naughty if I self-administered one Cartia (low dose baby aspirin) a day to be on the safe side? I have heard you have to stop at 36 weeks (though that is jumping the gun a bit). I have had some blood tests done, not all, and they only found a low ANA titre of 80 (which was repeated with the same result) which is not thought to be clinically significant.
Also, I have read that the progesterone pessaries don't stay in your blood for long, so would I be better off taking it morning and night (not just night)?
I know these are very naughty questions , but I just don't want to regret that I could have done more.
WTH - can't blame you for asking the 'naughty' questions. I don't know anything about asprin so i can't help there. But with progesterone I don't think there is any problem with a high progesterone level so I have to personally admit that I probably would do the progesterone am & pm. Some of the other girls may know alot more about that though as I've never had to use progesterone pesaries. But from what I have read there is no problem with high preogesterone levels.
Your last post sounds very determined so i don't think bub will be game to go anywhere - except maybe implant just a little tighter
The '12ww' is agonising isn't it?!?! Are you having any more follow up BT's?
Also - someone (I'm sorry I can't remember who) was talking about reflexology. I had reflexology the month I conceived this bub. I found it sooooo relaxing (way more relaxing than even a massage).
AJC - it is so good to have you understanding gals to talk/whinge/cry to.
I have a BT tomorrow. Verrrrrrrry nervous. My levels have so far been:
Day 28: 110 HCG and 170 P4 (prog)
Day 30: 269 HCG (more than doubled, fine with that)
Day 36: 1987 HCG (almost doubled every second day) but 89.7 P4.
I think tomorrow's HCG result will really reflect what is going on.
Did you get a second test for your P4? If so, was it similar?
I now officially hate the 12WW. And even if we make it that far, we then have to contemplate a CVS. I can't imagine we will feel comfortable about this PG in the near future. If it does not work out I am very concerned I will have to have my 3rd D&C in less than 12 months. That can't be good for my lining...
I have asked poor DH to call my FS this afternoon to try and get more out of him. My FS was not concerned when I spoke to him yesterday. But he did not witness the exact same stuff happening to me in my prior PG so he is coming across as optimistic. I want realistic.
WTH - I did have two prog tests First one was 95, second was 79. So a little lower but it's normal for it to fluctuate - ob was not concerned at all and I didn't really think anything of it.
Yes - realistic is good but my ob always says 'please be positive' and that is firmly imbedded in my brain so I am now passing that on to you. That it's going to be third time lucky for you. Your hcg levels seem to be indicating things are progressing nicely so that is good.
We're all here for you. Good luck for your BT tomorrow.
Your words have been very grounding for me this afternoon. DH has spoken to the FS. He was adamant I should not take the Cartia. He says everything hinges on tomorrow's tests. So I will not take an extra progesterone in the morning. He says he will up it if the results are not good. So, I am happy with that.
I read a study conducted in 2004 and it says stress can lower progesterone levels because our brain produces extra cortisol to deal with stress. The cortisol competes with progesterone. Therefore, stress can inadvertently lead to MC.
So I think I will take a nice long relaxing shower tonight and try a little harder at chilling out.
WTH - two things have helped me through this pg so far (other than my DH of course) movies & food! Hired 'Rendition' last night & really enjoyed that. And well food, we all have our 'comfort' foods so I'm sure you won't have too much trouble thinking of something. Hope you have a relaxing night.
WTH - Betty Boops story sounds positive. I hope you have the same success as her. hCG levels are looking great.
Jenushka - How come you gave up teaching? Where did you teach at? I don't know who the ultrasound place is that I was going to go to. It's at Fortitude Valley somewhere on the New Farm Park side just before you get into the actual Valley. I'm not at home right now. I'll have a look on the paper in the morning when I get home. Your attitude is wonderful. Good on you Are you going to the Brissy meet up at New Farm Park??
Jen - A new one for the list. I'm at my dad's to watch the state of origin and have ditched the family so I can catch up with my girls!! And Jen, we're all gabbing while you're sleeping, simple, don't sleep. BB with us and sleep at work when no one is looking!!
AFM- Check out my temp rise. Fingers crossed for another one in the morning!! Sleeping at my dad's tonight to watch the footy. Of course I remembered my thermometer!!
i am going in for my first ultrasound tomorrow. Hope to see some follies. I'm on my day 6 of FSH. So scared, don't know what to expect. I hope things are going OK. I have been feeling a little tired and of course worried but not much apart from that. I don't know if it is a good sign or bad.
I got pregnant naturally 2 so I think perhaps this bit should go OK. We are only doing the IVF to do PGD as both times there were genetic problems...or so they think. I keep thinking that that will give us a better chance at the actual IVF but I guess you never know. Getting pregnant is so hard for some while others just seem to be unable to stop popping out kids.
