24 hour pee bucket

That is what I did today, since there was so much protein in my urine and it was not a bladder infection, they wanted me to do the 24 hour pee bucket today, you get the idea. I did this before when I was pregnant with DD but that time I was 38 weeks and on bed rest, so I was at home. This was harder, since I had to work today and the Pee Bucket needed to be kept cold. Hoping for good news, b/c everything I see on the internet for protein in the urine this early in prenancy is not good. I think kidney disease was thrown around alot. I also worry that this will end up putting me on bedrest early and we cannot afford that at all since I will no be paid. Yuck, well gotta go pee in my bucket.

Update from DR appt...

I had my cauterization today, yuck. It hurt, not like I remembered and she made me bled, I am not sure if she knew that so now every time I pee it hurts. They plan on putting me on antibotics if it comes back infected, she told me that most pregnant women do not know they have a UTI and it is common, I did have one early on with DD and did not know it. Feel like history is repeating itself.

Afterwards the DR came in to talk to me and asked if I wanted to hear the baby's heart beat, she could not find it and finally gave up. She told me she would find someone else to find it and if they could not get it they would send me for a u/s. Well the second PA found it, 180 exactly. Again history repeating itself, DD's heart rate was always high early on and never went below 155. I was so happy to hear the heartbeat on the doopler but wish I would have ahd a u/s.

All well here, just really tired and so unmotivated, I need to get stuff done and I have a busy week with Halloween coming.

Protein in my urine :(

Not the title you probably want to read about. I got a call from the OB today saying they want me to come in Monday morning for a cauterization b/c they found protein in my urine. I had this with my daughter when i was 7 weeks, so I know the drill but nonetheless I am not happy. Mostly likely it is a UTI that i do not know abut or some of the progesterone I am taking is causing it. But I hope all is well.

I am thinking I may ask if they can find the baby's HB on the doppler while I am there, I will be a little early but just maybe we could hear it, I will be 5 days shy if 10 weeks.

First Appt update...

I know you all are waiting on pins and needles for a update from yesterdays appt. Sorry it took me so long, I had school last night and worked all day today. I am so tired and need a vacation.

The appt went great! HB was 175 and the baby was wiggling around. My DD's HB was 178 at 9 weeks. I was so nervous after the brown spotting which has turned to brown CM. The u/s tech said everything looked great and that there was no blood collecting anywhere to be concerned. Also the Nurse told me during my PAP that there was brown blood collecting around my cervix, which was fine and probably from the progesterone supps, they irritate your cervix after a while and she believes this is were Sunday nights spotting happened. I am still spotting but I and thinking she knocked some of that blood around while doing my pap, if it is not gone by Friday I plan on calling, but I bled from my HSG for over a week. It felt good knowing the HB was Great and the baby was wiggling around. I get another u.s at 12 weeks, I am not sure if I can wait till then. Then I will not have another u.s until 20 weeks, that is after Christmas. I hope we can find out the sex. Thanks for all the wishes and prayers yesterday i greatly appreciate it and hoping that this will calm me down now and I can talk about this as if it will actually happen now.

I took my Snack Basket to the RE after the appt, my favorite nurse was the one I gave the basket to for the staff. She was so excited to see me and hugged me and told me she was so happy everything was going so well. She made me promise to bring the baby in after it was born. I thought I was going to cry. I miss my RE office so much.

SPOTTING oh no!

I had some spotting last night, two times just brown.Of course when I first saw it I was so upset, called my Mom crying. I waiting till the am to call the OB b/c they would have told me unless it was red they could not do anything. I had some brown mucus come out this morning. So I talked to the OB nurse this AM and she had me go for a rhogam shot. I spotting brown with my DD at 7 weeks, I am 8 weeks now. She said that it was old blood coming out or my progesterone supps may have aggravated my cervix. I felt better knowing they were not concerned and had me come in for the shot. I am looking forward to seeing the baby tomorrow I hope all is well. Please pray it is.

When I went to get my b/w this morning the nurse was training she did not want to take my blood and I told her I was all right with her practicing on me. She did fine and she thanked me a million times afterwards. I told her I was used to it b/c of all the b/w I had done while TTC and going through IF. Then when I went to get my shot the lady was very cautious with me and kept saying that unfortunately this shot had to go in the butt and it would probably pinch, I looked at her almost laughing, I said no big deal, I had to give myself shots in the butt while trying to get pregnant, she looked confused, so I told her I went through IF, she said OK then you are a pro.

It was weird b/c when I was pregnant the first time the thought of giving blood and getting shots turned my stomach now it is second nature. IF has really helped me get over those things.

Please pray for a healthy HEARTBEAT! And for the spotting to stay away.

Nerves have set back in...

Remember I said I was getting nervous about the u/s on tuesday, while today i almost had a nervous break down. Why? I am so scared to go and nothing be there, crazy huh. I know something will be there, I just want the HB to be strong and still beating away. My symptoms have stopped, I am still tired but no sore BBs and no nausea at all. I am scared. Please pray for my sanity. I really do not think I will relax until this baby is moving and I can feel it. I do not want to wish away my pregnancy just want to know everything is alright.

PAPERS ARE DONE!!!

Yes I spent the entire day doing my midterm papers, I am happy to report all 4 are done and my Aunt is correcting them for me and Monday I will make my corrections and be done. I did get in a 2 hour nap with DD so that was nice.

I did have a slight worrisome day today. I went to fill my PNV today and the Pharmacist told me that my PNV was recalled several weeks ago, I kind of freaked, he could not tell me why b/c he is a sub on the weekends, but I put a call into the OB, they never called me back. Guess they are not concerned and probably think I am a freak. But I have been taking these vitamins for over a year. I got out my Target Brand this morning and took them instead. I am worried they will not help prevent birth defects and I can not find anything on the Internet about the recall, just that they were recalled no purpose to the recall. I was so besides myself. I know it is crazy to be so upset over PNV but now I am afraid. Dh tried to make light and said in a joking mater well we will have a huge lawsuit on our hands if something goes wrong, not funny.

I have my appt. on Tuesday for my 1st OB appt and another u/s I went into my panic mode tonight thinking what if there is no heartbeat. I know we saw a great HB of 139last time but it still worries me. I am getting my thirst back and drinking alot more and had some more cramping today, but that could be from sitting in a hard chair all day writing my apers.

Hoping the next two days go by fast I can not Wait to see my baby again. I am also going alone this time. So that will be weird b/c my Mom has gone with me the last 2 two times.
