Hellobee Boards

@Leialou: I'm so so very sorry! My heart breaks, it is never ever easy! Do what feels right for you!
Praying for peace for you!

@Leialou: I'm so sorry to hear this Skip the beta if you're not up for it, I don't see the point really. Take care of yourself, I'll be thinking of you.

@Leialou: I wish I could jump through this screen and hug you. I second what @Mrs.Someone said - take care of you. If that additional appointment is too painful - schedule it for a later time.

@Leialou: I'm so sorry.

@Leialou: hugs! So sorry! I know how tough it is....you are in my thoughts and prayers.

@FaithFertility: definitely go now - they can probably do something not too invasive at this point - but if it gets awful they might have to do something more serious! my dentist was really good about what was necessary vs not while pregnant last time. and they know how to handle it if they do have to do something. an infection is probably much more dangerous to the baby than a procedure. I hope it's an easy fix!!

I feel like I haven't kept up on the boards at all but I am pretty much in survival mode until July, when I am hoping m/s will be gone, since things are busy at work and lots to do with the new house! I need to call the OB about setting up my 12-wk screening which is definitely an exciting milestone

I forgot my pharmacy closes early on Saturday and I'm out of progesterone. I went to another pharmacy, knowing they probably couldn't refill it, but I wanted to try. No luck. The woman was nice, but my eyes filled up with big, pregnant woman tears. I hope it's ok to miss tonight's dose.

@Mrs.Someone: thanks. I have only had 1 really short LP, so this seems mainly to be extra careful. I worry about the abrupt stop though. I'm 8 weeks, 1 day today.

@FaithFertility: I hope the procedure goes quickly!

@Happygal: I think it will be ok! My re always told me for most people it's basically voodoo anyway. I understand though, I have 2 days left (they told me to just stop when I run out) and while it's nice to have less to deal with it's a little nervewracking too!

@bhbee: awww getting off of the progestrone was hard, but it is ok and it lingers in there. ....lol

We saw and heard the heartbeat today! It was so surreal. I can't believe it.

@MrsTal: awwww yay, that sound is amazing!!!! Love your good report!!!!!

No tooth pull for me! He checked and no infection, the swelling is gone so he suggests warm salt water swishes and justvwait until after baby!!!!!! I'm sooo happy

@MrsTal: woo hoo! Exciting!

@FaithFertility: thank goodness!

@Happygal: @FaithFertility: @Mrs.Someone: @tequiero21: Thanks ladies. I'll admit I had myself mentally prepared for bad news, but I'm so, so grateful this little bean is healthy and strong. I'm still a little worried about miscarriage but I feel a lot more confident we will be bringing home a baby in February.

@FaithFertility: Glad you are feeling better! I'm starting to feel worse. I have more nausea and I'm having trouble figuring out what sets it off. I know if I get too hungry I get nauseous, so I try to eat every two hours. Then last night I had Chipotle because it sounded soo good and I felt terrible afterwards. I will take all the weirdness tho, if it means baby is healthy and growing.

@MrsTal: yay!!!!!!!

@FaithFertility: yay to you too on avoiding the tooth pulling!

I think I decided at 10 weeks to take this pregnancy seriously (though I'm still nervous, don't get me wrong). I got out my maternity clothes from #1, picked out the summer stuff and washed it. I finished my progesterone on Sunday and - the scarier one for me, since it was the one thing that was different for my BFP - I'll run out of metformin later this week and I'll stop that too. I keep reminding myself that by 10 weeks, the baby is supporting itself, only a developmental issue would cause something to go wrong now.

Praying for good things to come - I have my NT scan (and fetal DNA blood screen, being testing addicts we opted for both) on July 1 at a specialist and then get to hear the hb at the OB on July 2. So assuming all is well that will be a fun week, and we'll find out the gender early this time!

@MrsTal: I don't think we ever get over the worry, but it does feel more real!

@FaithFertility: it's a vicious cycle! I find when I'm hungry or too full, I get sooo nauseous. Even now, in my third trimester!

@bhbee: I stopped at 9 weeks and I know 10 weeks is normal! Woo hoo! That's one step closer to the end of the tunnel!

@Happygal: aww that's so funny about your husband! I think 10 weeks or so is pretty normal to stop because that's when the placenta is making hormones (so also when some people start to feel better). Unless you have a known issue I'd think you could ask about stopping early?

@Mrs.Someone: @bhbee: thanks! I'm going to consider this my last week(ish) of progesterone then! That makes me so happy.

@Mrs.Someone: I am a little confused about the scheduling. I asked my OB when my husband should come to my next appointment, and he said the one that will be in about 8 weeks, so I'm assuming that's an ultrasound appt. Although he said that if they can't hear the heartbeat at my next appt. on July 17th, he'll send me for an ultrasound.....so I guess he'll just be listening for things on the 17th? I feel so naive about this, but it's all new to me!

I'm going to ask my friend who sees the same OB what the normal ultrasound/appointment schedule is for the practice. I had gotten so used to having an ultrasound every time I went to the RE that I was surprised that it didn't happen at the OB.

@Mrs.Someone: I think we'll do the NT scan. This doctor only does 1 ultrasound for a normal pregnancy! He is partnered with a midwife, and they're known for being more conservative with this stuff unless there's a known risk factor.
