I know I probably have several more weeks of it, but this nausea needs to gtfa. Unison and b6 really aren’t helping me. When my husband mentioned having a fourth in passing this weekend I almost died. I’m sure I’ll forgot how horrible pregnancy is to me like I have before, but damn dude, wait until I’m at least second tri and not feeling like hell or you know wait until this kid is sleeping through the night consistently first. On the plus side, I got an unexpected kid free morning and finally got caught up on some laundry. I’m so sorry you’ve been so sick.. I really hope it gets better sooner than later. You deserve some relief. WHY do people have to bring up future pregnancies while we are currently pregnant? No. Stop. I have no desire to think about that until this baby is at least 2. |

I'm so sorry you are not getting no relief from the nausea! That's terrible. I have lucked out on the nausea side this time but the exhaustion is no joke. I know I probably have several more weeks of it, but this nausea needs to gtfa. Unison and b6 really aren’t helping me.

A colleague randomly asked, “Have you seen your doctor lately? You have a glow.”
I’m sorry, what? Is that glow very green and full of acne? Cause I’m pretty sure that’s the glow I’m putting out there.
But, yeah, I pretty much had to tell her after that because she wasn’t letting it go.
My boss, who is in the know, also pointed out that it looks like I’m showing already 😐 I love him dearly, but shut up.

So I had a bad reaction to Unisom last night. Took half and ended up shaking with a racing heart, which set off a panic attack. It was awful. Anyone else have negative side effects from Unisom?

Good luck, mikaela20! quijibo, my H told me he knew this FET worked because I was apparently glowing, lol. But I'm sorry your co-worker made you let the cat out of the bag sooner than anticipated, I hate when people are overly nosy. My boss wound up finding out about my pregnancy last week from a friend of my parents - I a) hadn't planned on telling anyone at work for another week or two, and b) have yelled at my parents for telling their friends quickly about a pregnancy in the past, when we wound up losing that pregnancy. Let me tell my own news! |

MH is having the opposite reaction as some of yours. He’s already decided he wants a vasectomy as soon as the baby’s born.

Depending on whether this baby is a repeat c-section or not, I'll either have my tubes tied or H will get a vasectomy. We have two viable embryos that are paid to be stored for two years, so we'll probably decide what to do with them once that time is up. |

I can't even hide it anymore. It doesn't help that this is my second pregnancy and I am only 5 feet tall.
My belly is OUT. So is the word at work. I haven't done any social media announcements yet, but if I run into anyone they will know. I don't own many flowy tops, they look awful on me. So, here I am. I am embracing it. This is my last baby so I shall soak it in I guess.

We are undecided if this is our last our not, we have many embryos still, but I am operating under the assumption that it is, so plan to try and enjoy this pregnancy as much as one can since I was a ball of untreated anxiety and panic attacks last time. :/
I did ask today about having my tubes tied during my RCS, but the hospital is owned by Catholic Nuns so that is a no go unless I want to go to a hospital over an hour away. We shall be discussing the big V much more seriously now.

Yes, I have. I have had it keep me wide awake, and I wouldn't call it a panic attack, but just anxiety then about staying awake and not getting any sleep. I know Benedryl can have that effect sometimes, and it's the same active ingredient. |

My kid goes nuts when she takes Benedryl, apparently she's one of those kids who has the opposite reaction and gets hyper. That was fun to discover at 4am when I dosed her for an allergic rash from antibiotics. |

I hope my husband changes his mind about a 4th, he grew up one of 7 though and loved the noisy house. I agreed to 3. It just threw me off that he even thought it ok to mention it when I’m in morning sickness hell.

We’re two and done. We’d need a bigger house for more and our wallets say LOLOLOL no. No talk about permanent prevention. Nothing serious, at least. I’m pretty OK with going back on BC until I’m no longer OK with it.

Benadryl always chills me out, although I think I’ve inadvertently built up an immunity to it after years of use. Thanks, allergies. |

I’m pretty OK with going back on BC until I’m no longer OK with it. This is us with space. We’re already closing in our upstairs loft for the baby’s room so my husband can keep his home office. We would have to do a full on addition (which we backed out of because, damn $$$$) or move. |

Some of it is dipenhydramine (which is the same as Benadryl) and some of it is Doxylamine. |

Diclegis is Doxylamine and B6, if you are trying to get the same effects OTC. Not sure if Dipenhydramine Unisom works as well.

We would have to do a full on addition (which we backed out of because, damn $$$$) or move. We live in a Cape Cod, so we’re finishing the attic space and making it a master bed and bath. I’m a little 😬 about being on different floors, but it’ll be fine. |

Mine was diphenhydramine. I took it with ds2 to attempt some sleep and try to help with the nausea. It did neither. I may see if I can find the other one. |

Those of you who've been taking progesterone or PIO -- will your doc have you wean off or cut cold turkey? I'm at 12 weeks and my doc said I could stop but I forgot to ask if I should slowly decrease or just full stop. I can call them but thought I'd ask here too. I'm taking PIO because this is a FET baby. My RE has me doing my full dose we started the cycle with up until 10 weeks, and then doing every other day until 11 weeks, when I stop it completely. I feel like I stopped cold turkey after our fresh IVF with DS though, because I remember being terrified of stopping all the drugs suddenly, but that was over three years ago, so I may be wrong. |

Mine told me to take until 14 weeks, I’m going to be two days shy of it, but I’m going to stop then. I did the same with DS, but stopped cold turkey at 12 weeks. I’m on compounded progesterone suppositories. ETA: I was told to stop at 12 weeks with DS, that wasn’t very clear. |
