Random 4/10

We'll be leaving to drive the 14 hours to Chattanooga soon. Send all the good vibes that my toddler does not implode from the amount of impending seat time.

Fx for a great appointment bethkate! I have my intake appointment later, so surreal.

I finally slept through the night. I think last night was the first night since getting KU that I didn't get up to pee at some point lol.

Yikes, that is a long haul! T&Ps! Will you guys do it all today? Or split it up?

Developed a slight fever last night. I was able to eat a bowl of Cheerios and keep it down. Didn't sleep great, however I feel much better now. Not 100%, let's just say it'll be another 24 hours or so before I trust a fart😳, but maybe I'll be able to get some stuff done today.

[lgraceh]

bethkate, I hope all is well at your appointment today! I just ordered my last vial of PIO and box of patches. I should stop on 4/24! It seems so crazy to just cut them w/o tapering or anything. It's exciting to not have to do them, but also a little anxiety inducing...

We have our 2nd US today, and if all is well, we are graduated from the RE! My brother is driving with us to my mom's house for this weekend, so we will give him the news in the car and then tell my Dad and Grandma tomorrow!

[laurensc927]

lgraceh I stopped PIO on Wednesday but I started suppositories the next day. It was definitely weird stopping metformin and estrace though, that's 7 pills a day I don't have to worry about anymore lol

[bethkate]

lgraceh, no tapering? That'd make me nervous too! I've been tapering for the last 3 weeks while still going for weekly blood draws. My progesterone went from 33 to 30 then to 24, so I had to stick with that dose for an extra week. Yesterday it was back up to 28, so they're comfortable with me stopping right at 11 weeks.

[lgraceh]

bethkate, no tapering! I'm pretty weirded out by it. Maybe I'll ask again today and about a blood test. I haven't had my progesterone checked since the ER?

The dietician made me a meal plan and I am laughing. I'll use it as inspiration but I'm not going to be making a different meal for my toddler every day and there's no way she's eating half this stuff. XD

Also thinks I'm made of money. Lamb chops! There are some helpful things on here though...

We'll do two days. When just H and I go we usually do one long day, but with E we just can't.

bethkate, I hope your appointment goes well today.

Even though I didn't sleep great last night I feel a lot better than yesterday. I have some errands to do and need to pack to go to my ILs this weekend.

[blabbermouth]

bethkate I hope your appt goes well today! Oddly I think the doppler made me more nervous than the ultrasounds?

Happy travels cnf2013 and @thatgolfbitch!

I'm being a good friend and I'm 1 1/2 hours from home cheering on my friend in a trail race (and driving her here!) I'll also meet another friend for lunch though, so it should be a good day.

[theloveparade]

bethkate fx for a great appointment today!

@thatgolfbitch I loved that book (haven't seen the series yet). All of liane moriarty's books have been good, in my opinion. Really entertaining. I think I missed it; where are you flying to?

Thanks! I've been super nervous going in to all of my u/s too, but today is a milestone for me, and I think that's what is freaking me out. This is my 5th pregnancy but I've never made it to the point of hearing the hb on the doppler. Luckily my H gets out of work early on fridays so he'll be with me. He's excited, and I feel like I might puke. lol

[cnf2013]

The car is killing me. I feel super vommy. We've only driven 2.5 hours and are still NY. This trip May kill me you guys.

[bethkate]

My OB's office just called to reschedule my appointment for today and the earliest they could give me was April 25th. Um. No. I've had 4 miscarriages, needed IVF for this pregnancy, and had bleeding last week. Move someone else. I pushed back and they kept my appt today, just an hour later.

[peggels24]

cnf2013, oh no! I'm sorry - I hope you feel better soon

bethkate,Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad that they didn't move your appointment too much

Good job standing up for yourself! I can't believe they didn't do a better job prioritizing who they were bumping but I'm glad you're still getting in. Good luck!

Agreed! I'm glad you're still getting in.

[laurensc927]

Ugh I'm sorry cnf2013, I hope the nausea passes.

[laurensc927]

That's annoying bethkate, glad they were still able to get you in today.

[laurensc927]

@thatgolfbitch let me know how you like it. I'm considering getting one next weekend before the fancy anniversary party as my makeup stash is low these days.

[beefinch]

This has been me all day

Me too! I had to get out of the chair or it was going to an afternoon of napping lol.

[cnf2013]

I just unbuttoned my jeans because my bladder is that full. Hoping we stop soon. Oof.

[Deleted]

cnf2013, why on Earth are you wearing jeans!?! Change into comfier pants as soon as you stop.

[bethkate]

Couldn't hear the heartbeat with the doppler, so that sucked. I'm not quite 11 weeks yet, so it's early, but I was hoping.

I saw the NP again, and she said we'd follow up in 4 weeks and my next ultrasound would be at 18-20 weeks. Nope. Not ok with that. Yet again, I pushed back, and I'm going in again in two weeks for an ultrasound and to see the ob.

You keep on pushing! You're doing a fantastic job, I'm so sorry they suck.

Ugh. It kills me. I love my ob, but the nurses and stuff kind of suck. I just need to keep advocating I guess.

I'm sorry you couldn't hear it. Do you know if you have an anterior placenta?

Glad you pushed for a sooner follow up and I hope these two weeks pass quickly.
