Hi all,
Abney what is it about Progesterone that makes you feel you are having a mc? Is it the 'fall out' for want of a better description! I do actually remember doing a lot of pant-checking at that time but think I would have been doing it anyway. I have taken progesterone for two pregnancies (one mc and this one until 16 weeks, always chosen the front route) and hated the smell more than anything. I still have phantom whiffs of it now. Your history sounds awful, particularly when you had DS and would fill that you had cracked it only to go on and have more mcs. I guess that might be something the rest of us here are yet to face, if we go on to have another one after the Pred Babies start coming.
Sorry you are feeling a bit crap about doctors Frozen. I think we can all relate to how frustrating that can be. I dealt with it for years before the mcs started, with the thyroid problem, so I can fully relate. So many of them seem to be reluctant to accept any new research or any thinking outside of the box, as it were.
Coconut no idea about the eggplant parmesan inducing labour but I do hope not as I had a big plate of it at the airport :) Can't believe you are almost on maternity leave! Oh and can't have been fun overdosing on the laxatives but glad it doesn't seem to have done any lasting harm.
Duggs am finding all the IVF stuff fascinating. Sorry about the egg situation but good that there have been some healthy ones. I hope you get some good news about it - will you find out today? It does go to show that following instincts is a good idea a lot of the time. It was instincts that also got me to the NK cells diagnosis.
Digi I am sure there is some educational value in video games... Er, training the brain to react quickly...? How are you feeling? Any signs?! You might be pleased to know that there is a bit of drizzle here this morning!
Dunnit when are they booking you in for another IVig? It might be worth, after that, seeing Mr S re intralipids if they think you need more? I know some people aren't confident in the latter at all but others do say it is just as good as IVIG but also a lot cheaper and not human blood products. You must be pleased about stopping the steroids. I know we have all been a bit nervous about stopping them when pregnant, but also relieved to be off them.
Very strange about your sister feeling she has been visited by your spiritual guide PQ
- she might sense that something is up as you say. I think you are fine for waiting until the 12 week scan to tell them though and they will fully understand why you didn't tell them before. Great that you have been accepted by St T's!
I have some nice summery things that I took to St Lucia, will happily come round with a few bits and pieces before you go if you want to borrow anything. Of course might taste might be different than yours (I do like a bright coloured dress!) but there are a few practical things in there too like black and also white cropped trousers (maternity ones though).
Hello to quick pop-in-posters including Stogan and Comedy! I hope it is all going well for you. Euro how are you getting on with everything?
Pico I was an avid temper and charter for just one cycle (but I DID do a lot of research into it and I DID actually get pregnant, albeit one that turned out to be a mc). Can;t help you am afraid as I did it in centigrade and don't have a clue about Fahrenheit. Hope you have managed to sort it out now and things have become a bit clearer.
Choccy hope things are going as well as they can do in the circumstances. Do you have a date for the funeral yet? I do hope it all goes well.
Off to the market here after breakfast etc and also really need to do some work.
Have been having quite a lot of movement from the baby which has been fun to watch. It still feels so surreal! Oh, and 24 weeks today so here is another milestone. Viability - supposedly!
