Finally I got my period Saturday. Today is my first day taking clomid.(cd3-7)I go for my progesterone check on Nov.12th. I am so excited and praying this works the first time!The days I am suppose to have sex is cutting it very close to when my husband leaves to go out of town to work so hopefully we will get this right this time! I was hoping to have sex a few days after what the doctor said but now I guess I will not be able to. I will let everyone know what happens next.

Sunday, 18 Nov

Well I finally got my progesterone levels back Friday. The nurse said that my levels were 11.7 so That meant I did ovulate. The only thing is I do not know when. She told me to call if I get AF and they will call me in another round of clomid and they would keep the dose at 50mg since I did ovulate. I am also suppose to call if I do not start. So I am still jsut waiting around to see what happens. One minute I think AF is going to be here any minute then the next I thinking maybe it is not coming at all. I am so confused. I will update when something happens.

Tuesday, 20 Nov

Well AF showed her ugly face so this Thanksgiving I will start my second round of clomid. The doctor said he will keep the dose at 50mg since I ovulated. I wonder if he should up my dose since my levels were not very high? I will ask when they call me back but I doubt they will want to.I will post when something new happens.

Thursday, 13 Dec

I got my results today for my progesterone check done on CD22 The doctor said I did ovulate and my levels were 19.1 I am very pleased with this b/c I knew that they like to see your levels over 15 on clomid. I will let you know what happens.

Friday, 21 Dec

Well today is CD32 and I got a BFN. I am very disappointed, but hopefully the clomid will work next cycle. AF has not showed her ugly face so I am not sure if I will need medicine to get that going or not. I am trying not to take no more meds then I have to. I will update next time something new happens.

May 11, 2008

Well, I have not been up here for a while and some things have changed. I stopped taken the clomid. I had pretty much given up on the chance of geting pregnant. I had not been keeping up with my crazy irregular cycles. Then on Mother's Day I realized it had been a while since I had my period and decided to take a test and low and behold it came up positive! I am very excited but still nervous. I have no clue how far along I am. I am thinking anywhere from 4wks to 9wks. I go to the dr. on the 15th of this month and I will hopefully have a better idea how far along I am then. I will update then. Good luck to all and I look forward to being back on the board.

May 20, 2008

I wanted to let everyone know that my visit on the 15th gave me a little more insight on things. It was time for my yearly pap so my doctor did a pelvic and told me I was probably about 8wks as of the 15th. I go back for an ultra sound on June 10th. I should be at least 12wks by then. He did not give me a due date I guess becasue he wanted to wait till the ultra sound told him a more accurate date of how far along I am. I am very anxious and still trying to realize I am really pregnant. With my son I had an ultra sound at 8wks so it felt more real. I am so ready for a picture of my baby. As for how I am feeling I am doing okay just very tired, sore boobs but they are getting better. I do still have some slight cramping every so often and I am trying not to let that stress me out. I went into labor with my son at 19wks so that is in the back of my head making me a little nervous.I wish everyone luck with ttc and the ones that are already pregnant. I will update with other things I am feeling becasue I think it helps to see what someone else is feeling from week to week. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

May 31, 2008

I have been having really bad migraines everyday. I called the hospital this past Saturday and I talked to my doctor's associate which told me I could take up to 3000mg of tylenol in one day. Well, that has not been helping so I called my doctor yesterday and he said to take exedrin and that he thinks 3000mg is to much tylenol.(you would think associates would have it where they agreed on things) Today(with a migraine) I went to the pharmacy to pick my prenatals up and talked with them about the exedrin. They all said that pregnant women should not take exedrin because of the caffeine and asprin in it. So, I have decided my doctor does not know what he is talking about. I knew I would not be able to get in to see another doctor today so I went to the emergency room. The doctor there agreed about the exedrin. I ended up gettting a phenagin shot and a morphine shot. He also sent me home with a script for tylenol 3. I have to follow up with an OBGYN within a week. I have someone in mind (this lady is a high risk doctor and I think that will be best with all of these migraines I am having)) and hopefully once I tell her I need to be seen this week I will be able to get in. I also hope they will go ahead and do a ultrasound and give me a due date since that is what I was suppose to do at my next appt. My original doctor will have a fit to find out I went to the emergency room because he told me at my first visit about 5 times to not go there ever, to call them and they will get me into his office. Well, needless to say he did not do what I thought he needed to do for me so hopefully I will have a better visit with the next doctor I find. I will update when I go to the doctor again. Sorry, I did need to vent some.

June 2, 2008

I am very excited. I called the doctor I wanted to see. I explained everything that has been going on with my migraines (that I had been to the hospital and they wanted me to follow up with my OBGYN within a week) plus told them that I have not had an ultrasound yet and that they were going to do it on my next visit.(also that the doctor only did a pelvic to see how far along I am so it is not for sure) At first it looked like I was not going to be able to get seen intill next week and she put me on hold. Then she came back to tell me they could see me tomorrow for an ultrasound at 2:00 and that they were going to set another appt. at 2:45 so I could talk with the doctor about my migraines. She explained this was going to be a special visit so I could get things straight! I am so excited I will finally be able to see my baby tomorrow and have a due date finally! I was also told that I needed to sign a release at the other doctor so they could see what they have already done. I drove 45min. today to do that. I get there and she said it would be free to fax my records, but would cost for me to pick them up. I told her that was fine I would pay for them b/c I wanted to be sure my NEW doctor has my records in time for my appt. She asked why I was switching and I told her b/c this new doctor is high risk and I thought that would be best considering my migraines and also told her everyone told me that I got bad advice about taking the exedrin. She said that is what he tells all of his patient. Then she goes on to tell me that this doctor has a new rule that before she is allowed to release someone's records she has to explain to him why first so therefore I could not get them today.(she said he could not refuse to send them but she had to wait for his approval) I was so mad, but did not know what else to do. I told her that my appt. is at 2:00 and they need those records faxed before then and she told me she would have it done today. I plan to call today before they close to make sure she followed through with what she told me. I will update after my appt. tomorrow. Wish me luck b/c I am so nervous about something being wrong even though I have no reason to be.

June 3, 2008

Today I had my ultrasound. I was hoping it was going to be 3-D but it was not it was one of the old ones. As soon as she started it she said I was 11weeks and 5days then after measuring it said I was 11weeks and 6days. So, as of tomorrow I will be 12weeks. I finally have a due date of December 17, 2008. I saw the heart beat on the ultrasound and it was 160. As far as my migraines my new doctor wants me to see a neurologist. She aslo wants me to try zertac for 3days to see if it is due to sinus trouble. I have another appt. in a week to go over my physical. I guess so she can get to know me and not depend on the records from my other doctor. I will let everyone know about any other updates. I am very pleased to know I am 1week and 2days further then I was told the first time by a pelvic exam and happy to finally see my baby and get a due date!

June 12, 2008

I went to the doctor again on the 10th. I got to hear the heart beat and it was 150 this time. I am going back on July 29th to get another ultrasound, then they will try to find out what I am having. I have been feeling the baby thump around and just last night I felt her/he flip around! That was so amazing! I am leaving this Saturday for a week to the beach with alot of my family. My husband is also coming home after being gone for about 2months with work. When we get back from the beach my husband, me, and our son will be going back to TN so he can finish up his work. I probably will not be able to get on the computer, but if I find a way I will be excited to check on everyone. That is why my next appt. is so far away. My doctor agreed to make it for later so I will be able to go back with my husband for some time. I am really excited because it will work out so he can be here for the ultrasound and hopefully my son will be able to. I am going to call them now to find out if he can. When I get back I will be 20weeks so it is going to be wierd not to be able to check online for the development. I will update as soon as I can. Good luck to all and I will miss everyone!

July 8, 2008

I found out that I am going to be in Ar. till the middle of August so I finally found a doctor to see me up here. I go on the 14th and they are also going to do an ultrasound. I am so excited and hopfully they will be able to tell what I am having. I will update as soon as I find out something. I am nervous to see if they are going to be correct on the sex since they were wrong with my son, but I have a feeling this time it really is a girl. I am using the hotels computer so I can't be up here to much but I will check in from time to time.

July 14, 2008

I went to the doctor here in Ar. since I am not going to be back till the second week of August. They told me I am having a girl!! I am so excited. I just hope they are right. I was 17 weeks and 5days when they told me. The ultrasound said I was only 16weeks ,but they told me not to worry about that because the later in the pregnancy the ultrasound is done it is less accurate. He told me to stick with the due date I was given of Dec. 17, 2008 Oh yeah and my little bean weighs 5oz. I have gained about 8-10lbs. so far. I am sure the weight will start to pack on now, I have been so hungry lately. Everything else turned out good on the ultrasound. They did an AFP test so I go back in 2 weeks for the results. I will update later.

July 27, 2008

I am finally back home so I can get up here more often and for longer and I am so glad. Two days after my last visit I got a really bad migraine and was throwing up bad. At my last visit they had gave me tylenol 3 to take for my migraines. I tried that on this day and I did not get any relief. I called the doctor there in Ar. that I saw last and he told me to come in. He gave a script for darvocet and phenagen for the nausea. He also set up an appt. with a neurologist. Then from there I got a cat scan of my brain and a eeg that reads the brain waves like a ekg does your heart. They done the test to try to make sure if the migraines were hormone related or something else. I was suppose to go back for those results on the 30th of July. Well, to make a long story short I had to come home early b/c my brother had an accident and needed me. So, now I have to call the neuro. to see if he can fax the results here and find a doctor to read them. I hope that is easy to do, but a lot of doctors want to do their own test. I have an appt. with my OBGYN here at home Tues which I had made before I left. I was suppose to find out what I was having then and go for a check up. My insurrance only pays for two ultrasounds unless another is needed for a good reason. (so now I have already had the two I am able to get) I am hoping I can get the one that was palnned for this Tuesday and say the last one had to be done b/c of the migraines. My insurrance people say I need to tell my regular dr. about my appt out of state, but I am afraid if I do they will say there is no need to do another ultrasound. I hope everyone can understand all of this. Does anyone have any suggestions abot all of this? Thank yo ufor taking th etime to read this.

September 26, 2008

I wanted to write an update on what has been going on since I have not been up here that much lately. My sugar test was okay and besides that there has not been much to tell. That all changed this past Sunday the 21st. It was my son's 7th birhtday and we were having his party. Earlier that day while I was getting things ready for the party my stomach started hurting some, but was not that bad. Later once the party got started my stomach started to hurt a lot worse. I am sorry if this is to much info but I want to put this up here in case it may help others. The pain I was having felt like I needed to have a bowel movement and I was constipated. Every so often it would be a sharp pain, so I took some milk of magnesa hoping that would help. It did not help at all and after about an hour in a half everyone convinced me to go to the hospital. Once I got there I was so glad I went. I found out I was in pre-term labor and my contractions were 2-3 minutes apart. I was shocked and scared to death! They checked me to see if there was any changes in my cervix and found out that I was 70% effaced and the station of my baby was -2 and on the good side I had not dilated at all.. The station refers to were the baby is located which means she is in my pelvic area so low that she is right before the birth canal. Once they determined this. Three nurses came in and each of them me these things, an IV, a shot of stadol and a shot of breathine. They said I was also very dehydrated so they gave me fluids. In the IV they also gave me magnessuim sulfate for 12 hours. This was all to stop the labor. The magnessium was terrible because it relaxes your muscles and you can barely move after being on it for a little bit of time. They took me off the mag. on Monday and I went into the recovery room instead of the labor and delivery room. Then they started given me breathine pills every four hours. After being in recovery for about 4 hours my contractions started back. Then I was given a shot of breathine and taken back to labor and delivery. After the shot of breathine my contractions stopped completely. The next day I went back to the recovery room and on Wednesday I went home. I am now taken the breathine every four hours (5mg) and on complete bedrest. It sucks but I know it will be worth it. I am not even allowed to pick up a gallon of milk and I am only allowed to get up to go to the bathroom and that is it.

October 5, 2008

Well yesterday on the 4th I went into pre-term labor again. When I got to the hospital my contractions were every 5-9 minutes. They gave me an IV with fluids, a breathine shot, and a stadol shot. They checked me and said my cervix had not changed any if anything she thought they were a little better. It seemed like I was maybe 60% effaced instead of 70%, so they were very pleased with that. After a couple of hours of rest the contractions stopped so I was sent home. Everyone was thinking that it was b/c I had done to much the last couple of days, but the nurse at the hospital told me that was not the reason it just happens sometimes. Now I am just so worried it is going to happen again. The weird thing is that yesterday was my niece's and newphew's birhtday party. So, it seems like everytime there is a party I go into labor. I am now worried about having my baby shower, worried I may go into labor. We have decided to go aheaad and have it on Oct. 18th. The only other time my mom could do it is the middle of Nov. and by then I will be off bedrest and the breathine so I was worried if I waited I could go into labor during my shower. Everytime I go into labor MY doctor is not on call. I have not been that satisfied with her the whole time so I have been thinking about maybe switching. I have heard she haas paniced a number of times while delievering a baby and another doctor has had to be called in. Also she does not explain things very well and I always have to wait at least an hour or two to be seen the days I have an appointment with her. I was told the doctor that has taken care of me both times I have went in for pre-term labor is very good, he takes plenty of time to explain everything so you understand. I am also wondering when do they normally decide to give the steriod shots for the baby's lungs. (when they are worried the baby will be born early) Does anyone know about this?? I am wondering since now I have had pre-term labor a total of 3 times and 2 of them when I was already taking the breathine. So, does anyone have any advice about switching doctors? I hate to switch when I do not have that much longer, but I alos want to be happy and feel safe.
