Nicole, I hope you get them soon, so that you can set your mind at ease. :)  I'm glad you were able to put your feet up, that's a good thing that needs to continue. ;)  Yes, it IS good that you're able to exercise again.  Oy, more nausea?  It's about time you were finished with this! 


Amber - Yay for your scan!  Hope it goes well!  Yes, it can be really hard to wait it out.  Wow, an hour really is a long time.  That should be fun, enjoy!  Is your husband coming with you to the scan?  Wow, March 12th seems to close!


Tara, that is great!  Have you triggered yet?  Good luck!  ((HUGS))  I hope this is it for you!


AFM - So I am doing my bloodwork tomorrow, I think.  I have to fast (except water) from midnight tonight.  And they want FMU!  How under the sun am I going to do that??  I can barely hold it in before temping!  Oh, and DH took my thermometer and "hid" it with the others.  I want to temp until CD19 (just to be obsessive and know what's going to happen), but we will see.  I am exhausted, I haven't been sleeping well, keep waking up.  But, other than that, I feel fine, thank G-d.  And trading nausea, vomiting, staying in bed for the first trimester and losing a lot of muscle for just being tired - is a pretty good deal.  In other words, if this is what this pregnancy will be like, I'm all for it.  With Shimon I was tired AND I had everything I mentioned above.  I am also crabby (probably from exhaustion), beware. :D

Isra: I've got another post coming...Yes, having my feet up IS a good thing, and I'll be hopping on my treadmill again tonight too, then put them up again :) Oh yah, still with the nausea :P I hope you can get your b/w results back quickly, are they ordering them STAT? They're doing a urine HCG too, good double the proof ;) If you go for the labs early enough I know you'll be able to hold it for something this important :) It's weird you have to fast, maybe they're testing some other things then (?) Your hubby hiding your thermometer is best for you so you DON'T obsess ;) Not sleeping well is totally understandable under the circumstances, you're brain has been on overload lately. You will rest more easily when you know you for sure! We'll be on pins and needles with you ;)


Gotta go have my lunch, I'll be back...

Nicole - Yeah, they're testing lots of stuff.  Actually, I don't quite understand why they want FMU.  Here's what they're testing (and you'll see why I don't understand: CBC, PT, B12, HBS antigen, Rubella IGG, urine culture, TSH, HCG quantity, glucose, liver profile, COOMBS indirect, CMV ABS, Toxoplasma ABS, TPHA, urine general.


What under the sun are: PT, HBS, COOMBS, and TPHA?  And why, for a urine culture/general, do they want FMU?


I don't know about STAT, usually the results appear on the computer (I can view them by logging into my account online) that day or a few days later.  I think that's what will be...


I dunno, I usually wake up around 5:30 or 6, and the lab only opens at 7:30 (plus I have to walk uphill for 20 minutes to get there).  Maybe SMU is good enough?  Or I can pee into a cup that we have at home?  I have a feeling that it'll come out contaminated if I do that, though.  You think I'll sleep better after I know for sure?


Enjoy your lunch!

Isra...I think HBS is hepatitis b and I think COOMBS is an antibody test that has something to do with red blood cells. I remember reading these on my lab sheet once and I googled them lol Im not quite sure what pt is or tPha. Sorry! and yes my hubby is coming with me to the scan...he loves going to the ultrasounds after we go its all he can talk about for weeks!

Thanks, Amber. :)  You're right, HBS (HBs) is Hepatitis B. :)  Silly me for not knowing that.


Wow.  I just looked these tests up on the computer.  They are kind of scary.  It's good that the doctor is testing, but I don't even want to think about these.  I am not sure I want to see my results, or just go back to the doctor ignorant.  I guess I recognize all the benign ones.  Ugh...now I'm going to be worried until I find out.  Maybe I should make DH test, too?  Just to be safe?

Isra: Amber is right about the Hepatitis B. And, COOMBS does test antibodies (immune response) in red blood cells. TPHA also has to do with RBC's. PT is prothrombin time, it tests your clotting factors. Glucose and liver panels explain why you have to fast. I think with the urine culture they need the most concentrated which is the FMU. It's good you'll be able to see your results on-line, more importantly the HCG :) Make sure you ask though if they are ordering everything to come back quickly (that's what STAT means) With a culture you'll need a clean catch urine sample so they would want you to wait and do it there. You WILL sleep better when you know for sure! I had small lunch because I wasn't sure what my tummy could take, the nausea I had earlier triggered from my friend's lunch just hasn't subsided much.

Isra- Ditto with what Nicole said. :) 


Nicole- Thanks! Hope that nausea has faded away by now.


AFM- No trigger yet just woke up and waiting for DH to get home. I could ask him to come home early. I'll wait a little bit

Dh came home from work and gave me the trigger shot about 3:00. Now, just onto tomorrow and the the waiting game all over again. Just got done doing a Jillian work out...was tough today, but I perservered.

Isra GL with the bloodwork!


Tara GL with the IUI! 


Hello everyone! 


I have been dealing with a sick kiddo. Lennox woke up this morning with the stomach flu. Good thing he told me he didn't a bucket and he went and got one just in time. 


On some other news...


I WON, I won....


2 tickets to 'The Biggest Loser' finale on March 18th in Cali. It's just too bad I won't be able to go because I won't have money for the air fare, hotel and food. But it was nice to win!
