Agh! I have missed a load. Going to have to knock this out on word doc and scroll properly so I can hopefully catch everyone's news.
First of all ? welcome BellyD! Lovely to have you here, although horrible that you have had to go through all this business too. Am so pleased when new people join though as I know it can be of tremendous support to all of us here. Not sure about the soya allergy and the intralipids but between us we are on a variety of things ? at least one of us is pregnant and having intralipids but not Pred, other people are having Pred but no intralipids and a growing number of us are taking another medication (hydroxychlorquine) in addition to the Pred. So I am sure there is a way of working around it for you.
It?s fascinating about the St Marys thing. Why don?t they just bloody test for NK cells I don?t know.
From the bottom of the thread upwards ? Kittens that is good research about the cleaning products for your brushes! Sorry you have been feeling grotty, no idea what the cramping could be. Did you SWI this month, I can?t remember what you settled on.
Picolina and Snoopy. I always spread out my drugs, not sure why. I took Pred on its own in the morning, aspirin mid morning, Omeprazole around that time too, then the Pregncare and other standard vits in the evening with meal. If I didn?t take Pregnacare with the main meal I could and still can feel a bit nauseous. They say to take it with main meal too.
A big glittery Vegas wave to Duggs! Sounds like you are having a rather surreal one, as Vegas does tend to be. Hope even thoigh you have ttc on the brain you are still having a few drinks and enjoying yourself. And good that the time has come for you to start getting back on with it again. Scary I know, but a necessary step!
Am very excited too about Coconut joining the third trimester soon. Woo hoo! We will soon have some people with actual Pred Babies on this thread.
Thanks for re-doing the list Euro. Hope the ov pains have subsided. Maybe you are brewing an ostrich egg? It certainly felt like that to be last time I fell pregnant (oh, that?s ?this? time isn?t it I guess). I don?t know the details but I know that under IVF Pebbles ?overstimmed? (I think! She will be able to clarify that as I am not exactly sure what it all means). So she might be able to tell you more about it. Or I might be completely wrong.
Talking of Pebbles, hope you had a good weekend, can?t wait to hear what the doc says. Is your appt today?! Loving the visit to the fertility thingymagig, hope he gives you some nice sperm meets egg action!
PQ ? glad you had a poo free day
. The calcium thing is a new one on me, I haven?t been taking it and it hasn?t been mentioned. I have been guzzling milk though so hopefully that helps. But yes I was aware of the osteoporosis connection with Pred and that is in my family too. Hopefully if we are only on it for a few months it is not so destructive. I am with you on the congratulating thing when holding the baby. We can say congratulations to each other on here ? ie for a BFP , for reaching a milestone, for a god scan but we all know what each other mean by that.
Digi glad you have been taking a few moments to chill out and look after yourself. You ARE heavily pregnant you know. When does work end and ML start?
Battery is it going to be your 12 week scan on Weds? Agggh! We all know the anxiety you must be feeling. We are all going to be watching out for news (even me on holiday) so do come on and let us know when you can!
Right that?s as far back as I can manage to go at the moment so I hope I haven?t missed any vital news. As for me, my scan reassurance lasted less time than usual this time and so this morning, after arriving back from BIL?s for the night, I got the Doppler out again. Took me a couple of minutes (but I expect that so don?t panic) but I found the heartbeat there, thumping away. I can?t help it but I am going to take it away with me too. Try to limit it to once a week but I want to check it after the flight etc.
Am off to get some extra large pyjama type shorts for sleeping in when am away. It's funny, this holiday was my goal remember? Back in the every long drawn out, dark, cold early days of this pregnancy I used to be drawn to tears when thinking about the possibility of still being pregnant at 15 weeks and being able to go on holiday and rest my aching, pregnancy and miscarriage wracked body and hopefully, I am almost there! It's been a long time coming it feels.
