Helene - I am going to try icewater. My ice machine in the fridge doesn't work though. Going to try what I can to get them off. They warned me today that I need to get them off asap or I will need to have them cut.
Gi - Nope, nurses still haven't called. That's ok, I think I got them all in trouble! lol
So... I went for my quad today at the hospital and my IVF nurse ended up being the one who came to draw my blood. Apparently she was the only one available. Lucky me!! So I told her my issues, from the questions I have had to the nurses not returning my calls for 2 weeks. She took my bp and tested my urine which both turned out fine, YAY! So worrying about early signs of preeclampsia isn't an issue... at least right now, but hopefully not ever! They told me that if the clinic doesn't pick up the phone to just show up. It appears this is an ongoing issue that others have complained about.
So I get there to the OB clinic and I speak to the director. She looks in my chart and tells me that my iron was low from 3 weeks ago. This upsets me because no one bothered to call and tell me! Yes, the doctor prescribed iron and folate, but he told me I didn't need it yet. Turns out I did!! Glad I have it now. Anyway, so she said she is going to look into the issue of the nurses not returning calls. She did mention that the phone system is old and doesn't work properly, but that doesn't explain the messages I have left with the front desk to be handed to a nurse. So it just looks like no one is doing their job. I went on to explain that this pregnancy has been a very eventful one from the SCH to finding out it's twins, now the previa, headaches and swelling. Not to mention I spent 20 grand on just trying to get pregnant.. I would like to make sure I stay that way. I am high risk, not a complete nut case. So, the director tells me to call her if I have any further questions and she will get back to me. She also said she would have the OB call me just to make sure he doesn't want to see me sooner then the 24th. I feel like I was helped enough at the hospital, but if he rather see me sooner then I will go in.
YOu were so awesome... way to go girl!!! Glad things are looking up now and the only worry now are you rings... hopefully ice water will work... 
Of course I will take anything my body wants to throw at me as long as these babies stay healthy and make it to term!
My nips have gotten bigger for sure, but I haven't had too much soreness. Also, about the spotting...ok, so yours was worse in the morning, then gone by night? Hmmm... See here's my issue. I would like to stop the baby aspirin (RE told me 14 weeks, OB said I can stop whenever), but I am wondering if it's helping make the blood clot go down. As far as I know, I have no other clotting issues, I'm just nervous! Did you OB say anything about whether the aspirin had helped your SCH dissolve?
