Well, I went in for my appointment, got the result of my first beta draw and of course, I'm on prometrium 200mgs twice a day. Man these things make me sleepy! Well with my son, at 12DPO, my HCG was 8.9...this one, at 13DPO, by HCG is 28, so I'm happy. I joked to DH that this means we're having triplets...he didn't find it as funny as I did. I've had spotting for two nights in a row, I think it's linked to my upset stomach which really sucks. I don't know if it's the meds or maybe I'm eating like a piggy now that I know I'm pg or what but yikes...my behind is raw (TMI, I know, lol). Okay, so I discovered the cure though...DIAPER RASH CREAM!!! OMG, this stuff is heaven, HEAVEN I tell you. If you have a raw bottom...nothing works better. I love it. I used witch hazel last time and I thought my bottom was on fire, so I grabbed the diaper rash stuff because it was the only thing I could reach to try and cool the burn. I used it once and felt so much better, I've kept a tube around (not hard with three kids) just in case. Okay, enough about diaper rash cream.
So, I go back on Monday for a follow up beta draw. I wish I was going back in tomorrow, would be nice to know something with all this spotting but DH keeps reminding me I did it with the other kids too...funny how I forget about that every time I get pg.
much affection,
laura

Laura,
I don't know if you remember me from TTCAM, but you were pg with Ben when I was trying to get pg with Wyatt.

Those numbers are wonderful.
Laura,
Are you taking the Prometrium orally or vaginally. I took it orally during my last pregnancy & it would knock me out for hours. This pregnancy I take it vaginally. I haven't had any side effects.

Of course I remember you!! I'm so thrilled to see you're beautiful little Wyatt and Caden are doing so well!
Congrats on your boys and thanks for the well wishes!

LOL! Orally, you know though, over 4 years ago I took it with my DD and I recall posting about it and someone asking me if I put it in my vagina. I'd never, ever heard of that and I thought they were being cheeky. I replied with, "no, the penis goes in the vagina, pills go in your mouth, lol"...the joke was on me because I've heard since that it's a great way to take it so that you don't get those nasty side effects (like constipation too).
I'm not brave enough yet. It worked so well the last two times that I'm scared to try it any other way but orally. Although if we made it a game, DH might go for helping me out!!
thanks!
