Pregnancy Info HOME

i think danellia may be giving birth u know not like her not to post for this long!! when is ur next appt helen? were about in the uk are u tara? i am origanaly from scotland.

Thank you, Helene! Don't have much to contribute tonight - Tested earlier. BFN. No surprise, but disappointing. Plan to call OB 1st thing tomorrow to set up an appt. So here's my question to everyone: I'm going to tell my whole story (most of which he knows) including the fake out I had last month. It sounds like I might need progesterin, but what else do I ask him? Give me a complete hormone workup? Dawn - congrats on your major score. : ) I LOVE IT when that happens! . Also, I admire your patience with waiting to see what you get! I can def. understand wanting to hear your dh exclaim with delight the sex of the baby. I"m afraid that's all I have for tonight. Feeling a little dumpy. Glad you guys are out there.

Ok thank you helene for luck at the doctor and making a new thread lol. anyway. i sure hope that doctor gets everthing straightened out instead of just masking the problem. I know he will know more than my normal doctor because he is a gyno.lol. anyway. good luck to all.

Hey hey, no baby yet!! Actually think I am starting to backtrack, lol... When I went to the doctor last he said I was 2.5 cm dilated and 50% effaced... I said, "WHAT??? just last week I was 3 cm dilated and nearly fully effaced (80%) so how could I go DOWN?" He was like, "Well, each doctor has their own scales" I said, well that isn't what I want to hear!! I left kinda upset. He even read in my medical records what I was the week before, so instead of him opening up his mouth and saying a "lower" %, etc., he should have just said, "everything looks the same." This is that same fruity doctor that I didn't much care for when I had to make an apt. with a different doctor the last time my normal doc was on leave. He's the one that kept saying everything sounds like "Probably a normal pregnancy symptom"... Anyhow, done venting there. __Coda- I am going to try some things this weekend to help naturally induce labor (nothing bad at all) so, hopefully if it works out then your aunt may be right. As for right now, I am just spending some real nice quality time with hubby and getting the babies room together (Still!!, lol) Plus, for some reason, since he doesn't have to work, he actually wants to go out shopping and such. :o lol... He just asked last night if I want to go to a few "big" stores today and this morning he asked again. I couldn't believe my ears. This man doesn't ever like to even leave the house. lol... Also, he is starting to "nest" now, lol.. So, that is why I haven't much time to post. I promise I will post as soon as the little man arrives, or Email on of the gals here from my cell at the hospital to post for me. Oh, so... if some of you see a weird Email address, just look at the subject. I'll put my name in it. My phone Email address is real weird and may look like spam because its mostly numbers, and mixed with some letters. Anyhow, I've made this long enough. __Allie- is this a fertility doc you are seeing when you set up your next apt.? or is this your reg. OB??

Hi ladies, coda, Im from Alberta Canada. I can't believe how busy this thread is, but its wonderful that we all can feel accepted and get advice from others who are pregnant and have also been through a loss prior. I noticed some cm this morning, but of course hubby is out of town tonite. we bd last nite, so I think we might try every other day approach.I also like the "Its a girl " or "its a boy" I find its so exciting after hard labour . We were told our daughter Destinee was a boy (I really don't know how they mixed that up) My husband was planning for a boy and we took blue sleepers to the hospital. I rember when the doctor said "its a girl" my hubby turned white and said No way. Shes now a daddys girl and he got his boy 20 months later and we wanted the same big suprise at the end. I wasent going to find out what Treya was until I found out her condition then I wanted to know before I delivered her. Life has sure changed for me, I used to get pregnant and believe in 9 months I would have a baby. Im so scared of another loss, but just don't want to give up yet. allieb, best wishes with your appointment tomorrow. take care everyone

Daniella - This is my regular OB - maybe I ask them for a referral? Or can my OB do this?

Ok, meant to add..... Helene- about the yeast infection.. well, I have never had one nor a UTI in my life. Just a few days ago I noticed a slight change in my cm. Thinking I was starting to grow some yeast. Only 2 days before hand I had bought some new panties. They are the ones that feel real light, but I guess most the material isn't cotton. I noticed that it traps in moisture and doesn't allow you to "breath" as well. So, since then, I went right back to my nice cotton panties and been fine. Thank God!!! Last thing I need right now is a yeast infection. Oh, also... that is so funny you said that about the Dove sensitive skin soap. I just bought a bunch of it yesterday at the store because I ran out. That is all I use. LOL.. I love the stuff!! ___Dawn- I didn't buy not one single thing for our little one until I was 19 weeks along, when we were back in the states and found out its a boy around Christmas time. Didn't even buy his first outfit until about a month ago. lol... I think it all depends on you. I know some woman who set up a nursery, etc. before conception to get the mood there. I, myself couldn't because it may just add extra stress or make me sad and/or dwell on the losses I have gone through. Then again, I didn't even have an AF before I conceived this time around. Only 5 weeks after my loss. It doesn't end the pain or hurt of the loss I went through, but it did help. I sure pray that you do get that BFP here soon!!!! ___Tara S- Thats pretty funny about the boy/girl thing. OH my! My hubby would faint! lol.. but, we know for 110% its a boy. NOt only have we seen his jewels each ultrasound, but blood work confirmed as well. I couldn't imagine. Also, I believe that its a blessing no matter how you find out the gender. Whether it be at birth or on the scan. Its still a surprise and I dont believe one is a better surprise then the other. The fact is, you didn't know and now you do. Unless they couldnt find it.

Allie- Your regular OB can do them. She may have you wait a few more weeks to see if AF comes on its own. I sure hope it does without having to take meds to induce AF, for it can screw your natural cycle to come back on track..... Anyhow, if you don't... she may prescribe "provera" to help jump start your AF. Usually its a 7 day 1x a day pill. YOu should bleed about 2 days after the last pill.. Anyhow, the test would be day 3 after AF, (maybe day 7) and day 16 to see if ovulation occured. You need to get AF first before they can do these hormone test. Here is a good site that shows what test to have and when: www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hormonelevels.html

Daniella - Thank you. I'll check the site. I already have spotting so a/f will be here within the next few days. Glad I asked now. Sorry about your visit with the skanky doc. How irritating. TAke care of yourself. It won't be long now. :)

Daniella thats cool that youll be sending info from the hospital. What is it you are going to try? Good luck Wow Tara what a mix up.

Hello all.....how is everyone doing? Things here not so great....wish I had someone here to talk to. I'd tell you guys all about it, but this is a m/c& ttc site not relationship advice.......anyways baby dust to all.

sorry to hear about the backtrack daniella....i know you're ready to have your bub with you!!

Nanabon..I think noone here would mind you venting or asking for advice while it does say M?C and TTC we have all been around each other long enougfh to go beond that. If you wanted to.

sorry to vent on you all....if you don't want to hear about it just pass it by. I just don't know what to do.....last month I found out that my dh had been going onto dating websites and saying that he was single and looking for discreet encounters....when I confronted him about it he sd that he had never actually met any of the women they just talked. Now in my opinion that is still cheating...but he promised me that it wouldn't happen again. Now yesterday I found out that he signed up for another site. Then when I asked him about it he sd it wasn't him....whatever. I love this man and want to spend the rest of my life with him....I just don't know what to do. I asked him to go to marriage counseling tonight and he sd what would that accomplish if we have something to say just say it to each other and not pay someone....I told him that if we don't do something that I'm going to have to leave. Any advice would be great....

Bee- I just bought some evening primrose oil capsules last night. I took 2 500mg last night and going to try to actually break 2 open today and rub the oil on my cervix. It doesn't really help induce labor, but it is supposed to be real good for softening and thinning your cervix. Also helps your pelvic for delivery, etc. Heard nothing but good things on it, so I am going to give it a shot. Tomorrow morning I am going to check my cervix and see if it has opened anymore. I am not one for woman who actually check their own cervix during the end of the pregnancy before full term and irritate it... but, I am now full term and I know what I am doing in there. LOL. I am not going to stick my fingers in it (since I am 3 cm dilated) or stretch it, but just rub around it with the oil. Can't hurt and no worse than sex. LOL... which we still do as well. Now (sorry TMI) right after sex I lay in bed instead of go straight to the bathroom, to leave the semen in there which is also supposed to help the cervix. All this isn't really inducing.... but, just helping things along. If no baby by Tuesday, my doc is going to ask if I want to get my membranes stripped. Hopefully I go into labor before my appt. Tuesday so I don't have to worry about that, but if not, just something else to look into. Bee- did you get that done?? I know it wont work if your not ready. ___nanabon- my best friend Heather from high school was dating a guy for 4 years and while I was there visiting them in San Diego, she found a meet me website (not the hotornot one) on their computer. Well, one night while her bf was drunk she brought it up and he said it was nothing and gave her the password to it (what a dummy).... anyhow, months went by and she decided to check it. He actually forgot he gave her the password. Anyhow, she found all these girls Emails in his inbox and he said he never actually met any in person. That its just something him and his buddies do at work bored. Just mess around with these chicks. She actually believed him. Until one day she read an Email that was from him to her (in his outbox) saying, "you are so sexy and can't wait to meet you this weekend" blah, blah, blah.... So, he was busted. They actually didn't break up over this (can you believe that!!!) but, a few months later they ended up breaking up just because things got worse. That part is a long story. Anyhow, I sure hope it doesn't end in the same result. HOw long have you been with him?? Are you 2 engaged or is this your husband??

Hello everyone, just wanted to say I found the new thread! The bleeding from my m/c has almost stopped now. I was concerned yesterday because I woke up to lots of big clots, but I think that was mu body just getting rid of a load of stuff, with my endo and everything it can be a bit like that sometimes. Today the blood is brown and light for the first time so I think the miscarriage is almost over at last, which is a huge relief. Time to catch up with what I've missed yesterday!
