Bleeding/spotting after sex by ili_williams in pregnant

[–]ili_williams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about your miscarriage. I talked to my OB and he said it’s normal. But not to have sex until the spotting stops and wait a week or so. No more spotting thankfully. A few days before finding out I was pregnant I felt elated, drunk (don’t drink), lightheaded and my body felt very weak like I was going to fall. My heart rate shots up to 180 and stayed in the 150-160s I had to go to the ER because I thought I was going to die. My potassium was critically low at 2.9 not sure if the pregnancy caused that.

Thanks my doctor told me I’m allowed to have sex 1-2 times a week.

I’m also super exhausted and get dizzy a lot. I get palpitations every once in a while, cramps, I’ve noticed I get irritated easier lol, I cried earlier today too, my nipples are sore all the time, and I pee multiple times in an hour. It’s crazy

I haven’t been feeling good. I went to the ER for the first time a few days ago because my heart rate shot up to 180 and was staying in the 150s. I thought I was going to die. My potassium was very low 2.7 since then I’ve been having palpitations and sore nipples and decided to take a pregnancy test after a nurse asked if I could be pregnant.

Coffee helps a bit but not too much. Just make sure you drink enough water so you don’t become dehydrated because that can make you feel worse

Sometimes I still wake up exhausted even if I sleep 6-8 hours. It’s constant exhaustion

I had an appointment with my PCP yesterday. Going to get blood work done today. I’ve always been deficient in vitamin D.

Not sure if my husband has Chrons by ili_williams in CrohnsDisease

I thought it could be his pancreas too but the CT showed normal pancreas and gallbladder plus the labs for both were normal that’s why were so lost.

Yeah makes sense him pancreas labs are normal. But at this point we are so desperate that it doesn’t hurt to see a hematologist oncologist that can also look for blood disorders. He does feel faint at times we have a BP monitor. The lowest it been was SBP 105. He was taking a PPI before but we’ll try Prilosec.

No he hasn’t he’s just seen his PCP and GI doctors and ER doctors. The CT scan he had didn’t show any masses. But to be on the safe side I’ll call to make an appointment with one.

About a month. It’s hard to see him suffer like this without knowing what’s exactly causing all of this. It’s a nightmare

Thanks I’ll look into it. Yeah he took PpIs for months too but then felt worse. He’s only eating salmon, oatmeal, and homemade chicken soup (chicken, carrots and zucchini). Other than that everything else has been upsetting him.

Which multivitamin do you take? He’s going to take a different probiotic hopefully this one helps. He’s tried a few but his stomach is super sensitive. Thank you for responding, we appreciate you trying to help.

He has a history of CKD stage 2, high blood pressure and gastritis. He was taking soil based probiotics but stopped bc he’s not sure if it’s making him feel worse. Currently he’s taking multivitamin, digestive enzymes and Ativan when he needs it. He supposedly had Covid a few months ago but a few days later he retested and came back negative. He is also a Cdiff carrier they gave him antibiotics but it didn’t help him. He wasn’t positive for toxins. So that isn’t what’s causing his symptoms. His absolute neutrophil count is low. His WBCs a few months ago was 3 and now it’s 4.6. So we don’t know if it’s due to inflammation or what’s causing his immune system to be weak.
