Thanks for the suggestions. I called my OB and he said he could prescribe me Zofran or I could try taking a B-6 supplement. I opted for the supplement at this time. I hate to take anything while I'm pregnant. They told me not to let it go more than another couple days though. I promised I would call for the Rx by the end of the week if the B-6 hadn't helped. I also went and bought those lemon italian ice's to see if they would help. I'm eating one right now, so we'll see...

Jamie ask your doctor about profera ob. They are prenatal vitamins that contain 50mg of B6 that are suppose to decrease ms, also sea band arm bands work great. HTH.

For horrible morning sickness, I would recommend Zofran. I had to take it for my last and current pregnancy. It doesn't take away everything but it's a definite life saver. I also take B-6 and Unisom at night with this pregnancy. Try lemons...I don't know what it is about them, but they would take away some of the nauseau...not for a long time but anything was better than nothing.

Jamie, I was sick all the time when I was pregnant with my daughter. Nothing helped and I did not want to take any medication because I was paranoid it would hurt my baby. In about my eighth month my doctor told me I should not drink milk with my PNV. I am not sure the reasoning behind it but that seemed to help. I don't really like milk anyway but I would always try to drink it when I was pregnant and that ended up making me sick. Anyway, just a suggestion! I am so sorry you're sick. I feel for ya!

Doea anyone have any suggestions for "all-day" sickness? I have tried everything. I have lost about 3lbs since my appt Friday. I got those B-Natal suckers and they help for about 10 min, but you can only use 3 per day. I keep crackers on my nightstand, I don't take my PNV on an empty stomach and I take them when I go to bed. I constantly feel nauseous. I know this means everything is good, but it is still hard to deal with. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Honinurse - My heart goes out to you. I don't any advice to offer about dealing with this heartbreaking loss. Please pray and know that God is carrying you right now. Lean on Him, that's what He's there for. Praise God for knowing that you can get pregnant again. I pray that you recover quickly and get your sticky BFP soon... You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My OB/GYN told me about B-Natal yesterday when I was telling him about my m/s and how I had been vomiting 3 times a day. They are cherry suckers with vitamin B-6 in them. They are supposed to help with pregnancy related nausea. I bought some yesterday at Walmart. They're kinda expensive ($16 for 28 suckers), but I did try one yesterday and it helped. Of course, I did vomit again last night. Ugh. Anyway... I thought I tell ya'll about them in case someone else was having m/s too!
I'm going shopping today for some clothes! I had gained weight from last summer anyway, but now with my belly getting a little bigger, I can only wear 2 pair of my shorts, lol. So, we figured we might as well go hit the mall and get a couple outfits to get me through the summer. I'm excited to be buying maternity clothes! Even though you can't tell I'm pregnant yet, lol... Another month and I'm sure it'll be more noticable and we still have another 3 months of hot weather!
Honinurse- My heart really goes out to you. I am really sorry for your loss. I do not know how to help you cope. I have not experienced a loss after TR but did with IVF. It took me nearly a year to really and truly overcome. I have to agree with Jen I really believe the baby that I am carrying now is the one that God intended for me to have. I have often wondered why not the IVF babies but only God knows the answer to that. I am not sure if I am helping or not but I can tell you when it is time your little angel will be here. I also agree with Jen in saying thank God you can get pregnant. She is so right in saying that lots of women have to wonder if they will ever even conceive. My heart is heavy for you.

Yeah Jamie!!! Congrats! From my experience with TR baby #1 you never fully relax, but one you see/hear the heartbeat you do begin to breath a little easier. Hoping to be in your same spot next Wednesday!
Honinurse, So sorry you are going through this! I have been there twice before having TR baby #1. Nothing makes it any easier, simply because from the minute you get that BFP you start planning the life of your baby, no matter how early the BFP is. The one thing that you can take from this is that you CAN get pregnant. Many woman have difficulties even getting to that point. The way I reconciled it in my mind is that Olivia was meant to be my baby and I just had a couple of stumbling blocks before she and I connected for a healthy, successful pregnancy. She is a wonderful baby and I can't imagine not having her, just as she is. I am sure that others can chime in with their experience, but this is the way I think about it to make it hurt juts a little less.

I was watching to see what happened today, Jamie...glad you got to see your little bean and the heartbeat! How cool is that?!? My daughter was due on Feb. 14 (Valentine's Day) but I went into labor with her and she was born on Feb. 1st. I think that is interesting you have the same due date as my first! We are trying like heck this month so we will see what happens. I am really enjoying trying though..
Anyway, congratulations again, and I hope the pregnancy sickness wears off soon! You will have a cute little bump soon!!
Here's to a happy, healthy pregnancy to you all!!!

Well, my numbers came back and they are no good. My numbers went from 20, 31, and only 35. Its not going to stick. So sad. How do gals that have had this more than once deal with it? I cant stop crying.

Just got home... The ultrasound went great! We got to see our little peanut and hear the heartbeat too! It was strong with a rate of 114. I cried, lol. Just seeing the little fluttering heartbeat was amazing. I uploaded a pic to my album on here. It's under JamieRN. We are measuring right on target for an EDD of 2/14. I go back for my next check-up in a month and he said we'll be able to hear the heartbeat with a doppler then. Until then, I have a DVD with the video of the heartbeat to watch. God is awesome!
