I was also suppose to be in my brothers wedding but can't go now! I am upset because I don't feel part of anything now. Like I said my babies are worth any sacrifice like a wedding ect. |

Hello ladies. Just wondering if anyone had trouble with libeing light headed or dizzy. It started for me late last night and is still going on but only when I stand and walk around a lot. I went to the RE office and they did my blood pressure and it was high whil standing 142/96 they told me to go to my primary care physician's office which is 1/2 hour away from RE. When I got there they took my blood pressure 5 times and it did not go higher then 134/84. Is this just pregnancy hormones or could I be coming down with the flu or a cold. No one seems to know clearly enough to say it si this or that. So it has been a long morning so far. I don't have a headache and the RE assured my that since I am not cramping or bleeding or spotting he is sure that it is not ob related and the baby is fine. Just wanted to see if anyone else had any similar experience?!?!? HOpe all is well with eveyrone else. Talk to you all soon. |

Hi Jenny I remember being light headed alot in the beginning but my blood pressure was always normal until now. |

hello ladies, |

Oh Christie you poor thing!! You have to take them that long!! I used a heating pad on the area for 5 or 10 mins. before the shot, I also heated the progesterone so it was really warm (not hot) I could barely feel them! Then I put the heating pad on my back for a few mins after. I had no problems with pain, although once I stopped the shots I was sore for a little while. |

Christie~My doctor indicated that it would be beneficial for the progesterone shots to ice the area prior to the shot, rub area for 5 minutes after shot, and then do a hot pack for about 20 minutes and that reduces the pain and lumps. It has worked and my butt isn't even remotely sore or lumpy. Just a suggestion! Good luck!! |

Hello ladies - Christie I was told oretty much the same things as Red and Jamielee but, this was when I was doing the stimulation needles. I started to get sore with them near the end. Good luck with the shots. I am on suppositories so I have not had to experience the progesterone injections. Hang in there. I am sure it will get better. Speaking of which does anyone know when they usually stop the progesterone in any form? I have to do suppositories 4 times a day in 6 hour intervals. Hope everyone is doing well and the babies are growing big and strong. Talk to you all later. |

I will have to try that because my butt is sore. I have to do one shot a night plus one suppository at bed time. The nurse said that they will start reducing the hormones at 9 weeks. So i will only have to do 1/2 cc injection one suppository every other night and only two estrogen patches instead of 4. It will stay that way until about 12 weeks. I have my second U/S tomorrow so i will find out more tomorrow. I am so excited to see the baby again. I am not having a lot of symptoms so some times i have a hard time believing i am PG. Have a great day everyone. |

Christie - I am right there with you with no symptoms and believing that there is something there. The only thing that reassures me as well is the u/s. My last one is on Tuesday. So I have a little bit longer to wait. |

Hello ladies - Hope everyone is just fine this Friday afternoon. I have yet another question for anyone. I am 8 weeks as of yesterday and I started feeling mild AF type cramping off and on. I would be around the time for missing my second AF. Is this normal? There has been no spotting just a mild cramping, pulling, maybe even stretching feeling. Talk to you all soon. |

Hi Jenny, I had AF cramps for quite a while off and on! I would ask my Dr at every visit about them and she told me not to worry! |

hi Jenny, christie, jamielee and anyone else I have missed. |

Jenny what the cramping during your second month usually is the placenta forming and attaching to your uterus way good sign. ALso called implantaion sign. Also on the blood preasure i would get it check again in a few days if it stay up i would ask the dr about a med. High blood presure can end a pregnancy. Just as much as low. Usually you see it towards the end though. Just make them keep monitoring it and ask them to do a u/s just to be safe |

bdantonio - Thank you so much for your reply about the cramping. It makes me feel a lot better. I have no cramping today but, crazy cravings. LOL!!! Sounds like you are cruising along just fine. I think I will rest a lot easier once I am out of the first trimester, especially since I have had m/c in the past. Thank you once again for settling some of my fears. |

Beth - no problem. I have been checking the pressure at home and all seems fine. I think I just may have been a little dehydrated that day. Also the next u/s is in 2 days on Tuesday at 10:45am. I can't wait to see the baby again. Each time I go and get to see that everything is okay the less I worry. I am a little worried this time about making sure we see the heartbeat and I think it is all in my head pretty much. I think I shoudl have more symptoms by now and I can't believe the Man Upstairs is going that wasy on me. Thank you for you time. |
