TTC 2012 Group Year of the ball, Year of the bump

Congrats Lizzy ( I also had a very very feint second line with my son, never got darker but he is fine and my pregnancy was fine)

Hi Lizzi

Congratulations
I like your Dr's approach-one day at a time and enjoy every moment-we all worry so much that we miss the miracle!

CONGRATULATIONS LIZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been an awesome month so far!!!

Lizzy, as a midwife I am going to give you some advice!!

PLEASE make sure you find a doctor who is willing to check you every week until your insulin and blood pressure is stable.

do you generally have problems with high blood?
if not, you have developed PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension) and you need to be closely monitored and your blood pressure will go back to normal post delivery.

please look out for any signs of blurred vision, headaches, swelling.

as for the insulin. are you diabetic? if not, you may have gestational diabetes. again, this will normalise after birth but you have a risk of having a larger baby and a chance for elective c-section as generally it's difficult to carry these babies to term as they are big!

not trying to scare you at all as there is nothing to be scared of as long as you have the right care - just want to give you information so you can ask questions when you go to the doctor

due to your amount of pregnancies, you are also considered high risk. please make sure you find a doctor that is really informative and caring and ask me anything if you want!

Lizzy - CONGRATS!!!! This has been an awesome month for BFP!!! Sorry you not feeling great though. Good luck with your tests.

Good morning Ladies

Well had a tough week...last week my blood pressure went KOEKOE!!!!!!!!

150/100...went to the dr and he gave me meds to help, went to another dr on Monday, the dr I normally go to and he sent me for tests. My insulin is high and my tyaroid isn't working like it should...but ag well. He gave me meds so hopefully I'll start to feel better...

Yesterday I bought a home test seeing as we tried and then all this crap happened. And WHOALA!!!!!!!! 2 lines! I phoned the dr immediatly and he said we will handle everything on day at a time. Will have to go for tests Monday, seeing as the second line was very light. I also told the dr that with my history I have trouble with pregnancies and out of 5 pregnancies I only have one son. But I believe in my heart this time is different.

Morning ladies

Meemo, I know how you feel, my gynae also needs immediate payment and its a killer when you go there often! But I found that if I scan in the invoice and receipt and mail it to Discovery then they pay within a week at the most.

Shols, pleasure Have no idea about the CM .. sorry

Hayley, hope you have a nice HIGH count You must be so proud of hubby with all that bding going on
