GamerGirl: Welcome, and congrats on your
BFP! So sorry your hubby has to go away, but I guess the timing worked out well that he was here with you to celebrate!
I have never done the PIO injections, always been on the progesterone suppositories, Endometrin. They are not pleasant (they leak constantly bc I'm taking them 3X/day), but I'm sure they're much better than sticking yourself! My progesterone levels on them have always been excellent. I would definitely recommend asking for a switch!
Hazel: Every now and then I get a tiny bit of nausea, but it is very short lived. My biggest complaint is the AF-like cramping, and spotting every 2 or 3 days. It's enough to make me crazy, as I feel like at any minute I could start my period. My U/S is Friday, 1/8, which is 6 days away, and I really wish it would just get here. I have never been more thankful in my life than I am now, but to be honest I'd prefer to go to sleep now and wake up Friday, or maybe 8 months from now on my delivery date. I don't know how
DH and I will make it through the stress! We are both overanalyzing and worrying over every little thing. We bought What to Expect When You're Expecting today, and I've gotten a good ways through it.
Julia: I really hope the progesterone gets to where it needs to be! About the internet searching; it is a blessing and a curse. I was trying to figure out if there was a down side to my high betas, and it said it could be a molar pregnancy (in which there is no baby), and like you I just closed out the window. I keep reading that at this point, there is basically nothing you can do to prevent or cause a miscarriage (other than blunt force and drugs, etc.), so the worrying won't help at all, but since when did that cause any parent from worrying?
AFM, we're trying to come up with baby names. I want something that is different without being strange. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them! Some names my friends have used lately that I like and are unusual (but of course I can't use them): Marielle, Aliza, Kamryn
Boys are even harder! My husband's middle name (and back for like 5 generations, is Severin, so we probably will have to use that as a middle name. My favorite boy name is Hayden, but I don't think it goes well together "Hayden Severin", too many "en"s at the end! Have a good night everyone!
