I'm trying to take my own advice to be positive and excited about this pregnancy, but I need to work on it some more.
I go here too
Thank you. I'm very excited about the possibility of having another baby and want nothing more than that, but the actual pregnancy is exhausting I guess.
Anyway, I realize I let out a lot of word vomit tonight, so thanks for listening.

ldubhawksfan I'm so sorry that happened. That really sucks and I hope they deleted it, too. But I would def be annoyed about her telling bff. Not cool MIL! We haven't told my ILs yet. My Mom knows and since she found out like a day after I did when I had a good U/S I told her she could tell my gma and aunt.
For some reason I get ragey when people are like " I knew it!" when I've told them.

ldubhawksfan - how are your shots going? I was just having a pity party of one and feeling sorry for myself when I remembered I'm not the only one...
Uggg I hate them, but it's for the best. I don't think I would be so burnt out in them if I didn't have 3 months of them earlier this year for the loss. My belly is so sad looking. I don't know why it's bruising so much more right now. My dr recommended that I hold the cotton ball compressed on it for 30 secs after to help, and it seems to have.
I'm such a wimp with stabbing my self though! lol I couldn't with DD either. Dh can do the motion but my hand just instinctively stops before hitting flesh so I have to slowly pierce the skin.

Hugs to everyone who feels crap! I hope it eases up soon.
ldubhawksfan, I would be livid! This is exactly why we're not telling anyone until after 12 weeks.
jrun2013, notelsie, I'm feeling positive and excited today after the scan but that wears off after a day or two and I go back to paranoid. PGAL brain sucks.
And @officedronette, ldubhawksfan, the shots are a literal pain. I'm a big chicken so my H does them for me and my belly is pretty scary looking right now. I've noticed that taking a bigger pinch makes smaller bruises, but only after hitting a blood vessel a couple of times...
I went Facebook official recently. It was early considering my new due date but whatever. I've been feeling pretty awful overall (tired, nauseated, sick) and it made me feel better to have people be excited and remind me to be excited.
ldubhawksfan, Waffles - they are going in such a way that I was having a pity party. 😢 It's just exhausting. I've was doing them for about half the months for four months prior to conceiving (my protocol has me start them 2 DPO) and so I'm feeling burnt out. I think my skin is also tougher from those months, plus the pregnancy's worth less than two years ago. Last night I must have hit something bc it was bleeding quite a bit and I just felt a little over it. But they helped me bring home L and hopefully will help me bring home this baby too. I'm sad I can't be a cute prego lady in a bikini tho.
Edited to add - my husband refuses to help, which is annoying. I ice before hand and after though and that helps with the pain and some of the bruising, though I do have a few whoppers.
I have no desire to tell anyone about this pregnancy. I know some of my friends have guessed, but I refuse to confirm and my parents live out of state so that's easy. I'll tell people sometime this summer, but I'm not in a rush.
I only just told my mom this weekend but no one else knows. However, I don't plan on an "official" announcement any time soon. I think I will end up outing myself though since I already have a baby bump and it's getting harder and harder to hide it.
@officedronette, I'm sorry it's rough Hopefully they're worth it.
I've only been on them 3 weeks but it feels like forever already. I know what you mean about the bikini... definitely not happening! As it is, I'm getting changed at record speeds at the gym to hide the bruises. I'm going to get some arnica gel, see if that helps: I'm running out of clear spots to inject after getting a couple of massive bruises on each side
Waffles - for me, going in at a 45 degree angle as opposed to head on, and avoiding the area about two inches from my belly button on either side, really helps reduce the times they bruise. Ice is really helpful because I find if I inject into a really white area (assuming you also have Caucasian skin), I tend to bruise less.

Hi ladies. Sorry for being MIA yesterday. I was at home, in bed, throwing myself a major pity party. I'm tired of feeling crappy. Logically, I know that I don't really have a ton of room to complain--very little vomiting and I can function most days. But yesterday, after two nights of not sleeping and feeling constantly nauseous, I was just over it. Today looks like it will be at least somewhat better, so I'm going to try to embrace it and get stuff together for our vacation on Thursday. My first appointment is tomorrow, and I'm super nervous/excited. I wish I hadn't scheduled it for so late in the day. If everything looks good, we'll call my parents and tell them since we told DH's dad/stepmom on Saturday.

With our IUI for DD I had to start them on cd3 along with follistim since that had an increased risk of clotting too. It's like forever! Well really like 11 months when all is said and done for a full pregnancy. At least there are several of us to commiserate. And bs your husband won't help!

leekpartyof2 - it's hard! I know sometimes I feel worn down by the fact that it's not so bad that I can't function, because if I were at that point, I wouldn't hesitate to take medication. But as it stands now, I don't feel sick enough for meds, but I do feel too sick to be comfortable, and that just wears on you after awhile! Good luck tomorrow!
Oh and did you switch to heparin at 36 weeks before? Which doubles the daily shots?! Joy!
I did not. So I have a somewhat weird situation - I have the history of loss, and a family history of clots, but no personal clotting history and my blood work was almost entirely clear. I'm hetero MTHFR, and I do have one anti-phospholipid antibody, but it's one that studies have found inconclusive results on whether or not it's a risk factor for clotting. My MFM last time said he would say I could stop at 20 weeks, but he doesn't think the risk-benefit of continuing to 36 is ok if it made me more comfortable, but he did think that the risks outweighed the benefits of switching to heparin. So I stopped at 36 weeks and just did baby aspirin until delivery. I will be grilling my new MFM. It made me very nervous to stop but I'm trying to trust my providers.

That makes sense. I'm hetero MTHFR too, but it's the FVL why I'm on it. And stay on until 6 weeks PP. it's good to trust your drs but also inquire again.

Also thank you ladies for understanding my frustrations with my MIL last night. She is really apologetic and feels terrible. And dumb so she said she is going to learn more about technology. I've calmed down a lot. Hopefully all the siblings didn't even read another stupid forward or if they saw it, they are respecting our privacy until we are ready to share because no one has commented to us directly.

This may be a stupid question, but I've been curious about MTRFR. Is that something they check for during pregnancy? How would I know if DS, H, or I had it?

They would check if you were a recurrent loss patient or they were doing a workup for blood clotting issues. The mutation affects the way your body processes folic acid, which makes miscarriage more likely. It also affects clotting, so it was run as part of my blood work to identify whether I had a heritable clotting disorder.
Being hetero for the mutation involves less impact than being homo.

What officedronette said. It's not a standard test. I think my dr only ordered it because of my FVL to have a full picture. And even that was kind of a fluke finding out about when I was having bad migraines in college. Drs have said while it's not common, there are many who have it and have no problems. But since they know about it, they are always conservative and add meds. Sometimes I wish I didn't know about it, but if the blood thinner has made DD and maybe this possible, it's worth it.
