Having a "worry" day, plus an update

Where to begin? My massive morning sickness had my doc put me on b6 and unisom. I guess the baby didn't think much of that combined with the progesterone and folic acid because I threw it all up.

Worried that not getting enough prog would cause me to lose this one I took a half dose of prog a few hours after I was sick.

I also called my doc today to make sure that my last u/s had the baby measuring at dates. It did measure properly so that was good. Also, I wasn't going to get my next official u/s results until after I boarded a plane so they moved up my next u/s from the 16th to this Friday the 12th.

I'm very happy about that. I took today off to try to manage this m/s. Today it is nothing but steamed rice and toast with no condiments on either. It sounds horrid but I have to get this under control.

You know when I started out this post and last night I was worried I would m/c again. But after I re-read this post I realize there isn't much to be worried about. I hope this worry stuff doesn't turn out to be like TTC'ing was.

While TTC'ing I would think after this temp or cycle things will get better. While PG I just think if only I can get through the next u/s with a good result I'll be able to be confident in this pregancy.

The worry doesn't ever end does it? I guess that's okay as long as I don't have to feel sick the whole time. =)

Hope you all are well. I'll be on the boards alot today so if anyone wants to chat. Here I am!

Now, back to my toast.

Well, I'm definitely still pregnant. You guys are so sweet you made me tear up!

You're right. I'll get through this. We'll all get through this. One appt at a time. Someone recently quoted Dori from Little Nemo. I'll do the same...

"just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."

Gotta go change my appt date in the appt thread.

God how I wish I was going on vacation. Instead I'm going to a conference in Boston for work. I have to actually work while I'm there too. I'm sooooo not looking forward to it.

But you know, if I go then it means I had a good u/s this Friday so I hope I do go. Friday will be my second ultrasound.

You have your next u/s on Friday too. That's great. We can root for one another. This will be your 3rd u/s?? Is that right?

So far the toast is staying put. It actually tasted kind of good if you can believe that. I can't wait to be excited about eating again.

You lost a few pounds too right? Was that because of m/s or just because of different eating habits?

If I continue to not be able to keep down my prog I will inquire about the other ways of getting it. I think there is a suppository too. But I'd prefer the v-jay-jay route over that! Thanks for the suggestion about the other methods. I hadn't thought of that.

They checked my prog levels during my m/c. They were low. Then they checked my prog levels at 8dpo which ended up being this pregnancy cycle. They wanted to see if my levels were high enough. I never got the hard numbers but they must have been normal or they would have up'd my dosage.

Belly rubs back at you,

Hi Peggy,

I am so sorry that you are feeling so sick with your m/s. I really hope that you are able to get it under control soon. I will be thinking of you this week.

Great news on moving up your ultrasound. I am sure that will help to see your healthy little bean growing stronger every day!

Take care and let us know how you are doing.
