i wish we had an ikea  

How is everyone doing today? I'm feeling optimistic and anxious today but strong. I just want November to get here and get to the end lol. Our 2nd day yard sale went better- we made over $100 dollars which we will use to store DHs swimmers until December/January when we will need it.


I was thinking someone should make a siggie type thing for this group to put in our profiles. Or is there already one and I'm clueless? lol

... I'm for sure changing RE's. I finally got an appointment set up for the blood work and u/s that I was suppose to have on Friday. I'm on CD 11 according to flowsheet they have online. The lady at the front desk said "well, we won't have accurate levels if you come in tomorrow. You probably already ovulated."

Wow they seriously suck. I agree with everyone else. File a complaint and get the hell out of there!

Someone please make a soggy! On that note: how do you change your background or anything on here? Everyone's is so cute and ,ine is the same black and white

I know a lot of you ladies did clomid. Did you have crazy weird dreams on it? I have weird dreams about everything from a fist fight with the principal at the school I teach, to getting chased by zebras. I know... I know....

I believe to get a background you have to do surveys on here, but I don't know for sure... I never did it.

Ugh, today has been really crappy. I had a horrible sleep, which isn't anything new. I went to bed last night and i was absolutely FREEZING, i just couldn't get warm. Woke up this morning at 5:45 for work, had a sneezing fit...i swear like 15 sneezes in a row, stopped to blow my nose and then like 5 or 6 more. Then for the rest of the day the sneezes just kept coming with a super runny nose. I'm starting to look like rudolph...my poor nose is so irritated. I even tried the kleenex with lotion in it, that doesn't work!! And now that i'm finally home i'm just exhausted. I can't tell if it's allergies or if i'm coming down with a cold. I really hope it's not a cold because i've run out of sick time at work due to all my IVF appointments!!

Yuck. I have been sleeping horribly too but at least I don't have to worry about work. I'm sooooo grateful for that.

How are you doing otherwise? I had another ultrasound today and had a bad bleed (huuuuge clots, gushing blood TMI sorry!) just beforehand. Of course I freaked out but it turned out to be due to a SCH. The baby was fine though and has caught up since last week and HR is good at 133-136. The sac is measuring about a week behind though so that has me worried.

Im doing alright aside from the cold/allergies. Still feeling the nausea on and off, picked up a prescription of diclectin but have yet to take any. I dunno, everyone tells me its safe but i just dont want to take ANYTHING unless i really have to. I also feel like it's kinda cheating. I don't have my next scan until Nov 1st. Its so far away lol!

Glad to hear you got to see the baby's heartbeat rise. I'm in the same boat, it was 109 bmp last week so praying for a rise on my next scan. The bleed you had was pretty scary. So weird, i had a dream last night that i had a bleed. It scared the crap outta me, i had to get up and check just to be sure it was a dream. Hopefully your fears are put behind you, baby seems to be doing well. I don't know much about the size of the sac etc, but so much can change in a week, so maybe it'll grow like wildflowers before your next scan. Do you know when you will have another scan???

I've been taking Unisom/B6 (which I believe is the same as Diclectin) since I first started feeling nauseated because I had mild HG in my first pregnancy. I really do believe it has helped with the nausea in this pregnancy. I still have it all day/every day but I'm not at the point of vomiting yet. In that first pregnancy I was vomiting at 4 1/2 weeks.

I have another scan next Monday. What about you?

Isn't Unisom a sleepaid??? OMG I would kill for some!! I am just not too sure it's safe for pregnancy. And i only say that because i live in Canada and drug formulas can be quite different here then in the states. I'll have to check with my dr if i can take that. Or maybe some Melatonin. I used to take melatonin before my pregnancy to help me sleep. I have another week to wait for my next appointment/scan. Nov 1st!

I've heard that Melatonin is a definite no-no for pregnancy. But the Diclectin that you have already been prescribed has Unisom in it!

Oh wow...that's super helpful. Maybe i should start taking the diclectin before bed!! I should have done some more research on it before hand. I figured it was just for the nausea!

I know for sure the B6 part is not only good for you, it's vital for pregnancy. You just have to be careful not to take more than 150mg per day as it can cause nerve damage (although that's at like 1000mg per day). So check how much is in your prenatals.
