June 05 Some exciting newsSorry I haven't been around much to update my blog, it's because I have been extremely tired, and nauseaus, and hungry all the time. What is wrong with me? .....
You might have guessed it, I'M PREGNANT, EXPECTING, THERE IS A BUN IN THE OVEN, A THANKSGIVING SWEET POTATOE IS ON ITS WAY.
I am so excited. We started trying in March, and were successful with that first cycle. Of course I am sure that it helped that I had put my PCOS into remission with my candida control program that I had started last year, even before I was Dx'd with MS.
I wanted to get PG last year, but after 2 failed cycles, I realize that my PCOS had returned. I started doing candida control, and put my PCOS into remission, but then I was Dx'd with MS,and realized that I had to get all my mercury fillings out, and do 6 months of oral chelation. I had to wait until March of this year to start trying for another baby.
I am so happy that the first cycle was successful, I just didn't want to wait any longer than I had to.
Everything has gone well. My progesterone dropped to 10.6 (should be at least 15) at 7 weeks, but luckily, I requested a progesterone test at that time, and we caught that progesterone drop, and I started taking supplemental progesterone (prometruim) before my progesterone dropped to low, and I was able to prevent a miscarriage.
At 10 weeks, I went for my first OB appointment, and the nurse couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler. I insisted that I wanted to make sure the baby survived that progesterone drop, so the doc used his little office ultrasound to look for the baby, and we were able to see the little heartbeat just a fluttering away. Such a beautiful sight.
I am now 14 weeks, and the morning sickness is almost gone. I am starting to feel prety good. I go to my next OB apointment next week, and I am so looking forward to hearing that little heartbeat again. I will also get my blood drawn for the triple screen, where they check for the possibility of potential birth defects. I'll be back after my next OB appointment to report how it went.
