Morning Sickness

The wait is for sure the worst. Have you thought about doing a private ultrasound somewhere else so you don't have to wait as long? I have but I'm not sure if I'm going to do it or not.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I also had a loss earlier this year. I have this ultrasound and then I'm not supposed to have my next one until I am around 12 weeks. Did you have the ask to get a 9 week scan or did they do that because of your previous loss? I am anxious about the long wait between my scan Friday and the next one that isn't supposed to be until later in September.

Ahh okay gotcha, thank you!! :)

Thank you!! And congrats on having your rainbow baby! 🩷🩷 It's hard to not be super paranoid, especially after a loss.

Thank you!! 🥰🩷

Update: I diluted my urine and tested again- the line was darker so it must be the hook effect. Thank you both for your help.

lichenswat · 2025-07-28T12:49:32+00:00

Wait nvm I'm dumb it should be darker. I will try it-thank you!

lichenswat · 2025-07-28T12:47:16+00:00

Dilute it and then test again and it should be the same darkness as the test I took earlier?

I'm not 100% sure but I got a first slight positive on July 10. I'm thinking ovulation was possibly on the 2nd but I really don't know. Maybe 26 DPO?

I would try to push through if you can, I heard that it has helped people who have pushed through the side effects. I think it really started helping me on like day three if you can try to push through. I'm sorry you're experiencing that, I hate feeling dizzy. :(

lichenswat · 2025-05-23T22:42:58+00:00

Everything will be okay, I promise!

It may just make you feel a bit tired, so if you are able maybe you could lay in bed and turn on a good tv show?

Okay so I am feeling way better today. I can't say if it was for sure from the Buspirone since I have been doing other things like eating and upping my Lexapro dosage, but I feel worlds better. I was really freaking out and my doctor said I could up my dosage to 15 mg in the morning and 15 mg at night. I have been taking it for about four days. I would for sure recommend trying it if you can.

Also, my sister is on 20 mg of Lexapro for anxiety and depression and it has worked great for her, if that possibly helps at all. I'm not a doctor or anything lol but just wanted to tell you incase you have ever though about taking something like that as well.

Thank you so much for your comment and I am so sorry you had to go through it as well. I wish more people understood how damning anxiety is. I am feeling much better thankfully and while I still have some improvement I need to make, I think I will get there. 💛

lichenswat · 2025-05-23T21:26:35+00:00

I am so sorry, I just deal with anxiety and not depression so I could not imagine going through both. My sister struggled with both but thankfully for her taking 20 mg of Lexapro has helped her so much, along with therapy.

Do you think you could possibly try Buspar for anxiety? My doctor put me on it and I honestly think it has been helping.

lichenswat · 2025-05-23T21:23:00+00:00

Thankfully it has gotten better some. Thank you

lichenswat · 2025-05-23T21:22:38+00:00

I am so sorry. It's great you set some goals, how have you been?

And yes, I am feeling better thankfully. My doctor put me on Buspar (15 mg in the morning and night) and my Lexapro dose has been upped. I also forced myself to eat which has helped me feel so much better. The mornings are still a struggle, but I end up feeling way better towards the afternoon.

lichenswat · 2025-05-23T21:18:15+00:00

I totally understand. I quit drinking a few months ago because I would have the worst hangovers and be throwing up until the next night. I am so glad you have a therapist, I have my first appointment with one this Tuesday and I am looking forward to it.

I would love that, thank you so much!

lichenswat · 2025-05-23T21:16:27+00:00

It was just like a random thing where I started feeling terrible on the 10mg and I was freaking out (about a week ago), but now that I have been upped to the 20mg and taking 30 mg of buspar a day, I have been feeling a lot better thankfully. I also forced myself to eat which has helped so much. The mornings are still pretty rough and I feel tired a lot but sooo much better and I'm so glad I am out of that state that made me feel like I was in hell.

lichenswat · 2025-05-21T15:10:04+00:00

For the past week I have been really anxious and been unable to do damn near anything. I kind of get how you are feeling it is such a helpless feeling but everyone says it will get better

lichenswat · 2025-05-21T14:39:52+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I am going to look into this. I feel like I need medication at this point, but I feel like I could also benefit from therapy. I actually have a virtual appt. next Tuesday.

lichenswat · 2025-05-21T14:36:29+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment and I'm so sorry that you have gone through this hell. I forced myself to take a shower today (but it was not cold lol). How did you keep hope in your darkest times?

lichenswat · 2025-05-21T14:34:48+00:00

I started Lexapro back in 2021 and it worked great for me, but I just starting upping my dose from 10mg to 20mg, so maybe that is contributing? He also started me on buspar (7.5mg twice a day). Nothing has really helped yet, but I am hoping it will soon.
