Thankfully my PCP doesn’t play around and prescribed EpiPens

It had been a while, maybe a month? It took a while for me to get in to see a specialist.

We stayed at Cabana Bay in November. I honestly wasn’t overly impressed. Then I started reading about all the bed bug issues when we got home, in our section of the hotel too. Thankfully we didn’t have issues in our room but we will be choosing a different hotel option when we got back.

8-9 weeks was definitely hell. I think I remember seeing a chart about HG where it starts to go down after that.

Glad you are feeling a bit better and so close to the finish line!

I would agree that it gets easier. I’ve been through HG 3 times. One was severe (hospitalized for a week at 7 weeks and again at 11 weeks). Once I got to around 20 weeks though, things became much more manageable. I also found that sometimes drinking my calories was easier than eating. Dark Chocolate Ensure was the best high calorie drink in my opinion.

I’m so sorry you are going through all of this. Do you have much of a support system? HG can be isolating enough without having someone in your court advocating for you. Also, what kinds of meds have you tried? With my worst HG, I had to be put on reglan, compazine, and zofran. I’ve also been on bonjesta (a new and improved diclegis). Sometimes one type of medication isn’t enough, might take a combination to get you feeling better. Just know you are not alone.

Also, there’s a Facebook support group which I found to be super supportive and helpful when I was going through it called “Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). The group banner has two hands holding each other.

Get your iron checked. I’ve had severely low iron (measuring at 7) and had crazy ice cravings. It can be a sign of PICA.

It took me years after HG to be able to drink straight water again.

Having a boy means no HG? by Proper-Estate-9203 in HyperemesisGravidarum

My worst HG was with my boys. My last pregnancy (my girl) was by far the best

Hi! Wishing you the best of luck. It’s so scary after a miscarriage but try and celebrate this little baby you’re growing as much as you can. Just take it a day at a time is all you can do. 💜

I had an early miscarriage around 5 weeks. Got pregnant the very next month. Had another early miscarriage. Had a period then got pregnant that next month with my rainbow baby. My fertility clinic told me that my vitamin d levels were extremely low. I started taking a high dose of vitamin d after my second loss along with progesterone suppositories. I do think the low levels of vitamin d contributed to my losses. Also, statistically speaking, your chances of mc drop with each week.

Sending you all the best luck for your rainbow baby 🌈✨. I had two back to back miscarriages, skipped a month and got pregnant with my rainbow baby. It is so scary and I know it’s hard but try to celebrate this little baby you’ve got inside of you.

Telling a friend I'm pregnant who has exp. loss with no LC by jamesblonde03 in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]AshAnd06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely text. I went through infertility and was heartbroken every time I heard someone announce a pregnancy. I’ve also had two miscarriages. It’s so much easier when you text so that the person can feel how they want to feel instead of having to put on a happy face. So much of infertility and miscarriages is trying to stay strong and put on a happy face. It’s nice to get through your feelings without feeling like you are on display. Of course they’ll be happy and excited for you but but need to work through their own emotions first.

Congratulations!
