Text of the page (random words):
soya and other foods considered by the zita wests of this world to be bad for you had no effect on miscarriage the authors of the study managed to work this out by excluding the effect of nausea on caffeine consumption women with nausea are less likely to have a miscarriage but also less likely to drink caffeine as they don t like the taste of it so if you disassociate the effect of nausea it turns out women who drink caffeine have no higher a rate of miscarriage than the rest of the group and of course i noticed that women with nausea have a lower rate of miscarriage i have to have something to fuel the fires of my paranioia right a bunch of factors i had not expected were linked to increased risk of miscarriage including paternal age over 45 years and changing partners between pregnancies unsurprising but annoying risk factors include high level of stress whether innate or caused by your job or a single very stressful event presumably a death in the family etc i m trying very hard not to let my job stress me out but it s very easy to get stressed about not being stressed infertility is a risk factor as is art so given my age etc i d say i end up in a fairly high risk category although not top of the line given i don t drink there are no paternal risk factors i am not underweight and have never had a termination actually doing the count i have 6 out of 16 risk factors but also have 7 out of 11 postive indicators so not too bad anyway the stats are just interesting they don t determine the outcome of any specific pregnancy right now i want to stay optimistic but am terrified i booked the scan tomorrow in the middle of the day since that was the most convenient slot to fit in all my other commitments now i m terrified that i m going to have to go and be on top form after bad news do you think the level of insanity increases with distance from the last scan or with the inverse of time to the next scan distributing drugs sunday 18 february 2007 posted by thalya in infertility the doctors 3 comments marie baguette has some drugs she d like to dispatch to a good home she s in nyc so if you are somewhere close this is the best bet please go and visit her if this would work for you also she s just been through a selective reduction of her quadruplet pregnancy removing her identical triplets to leave the singleton behind so i m sure she d love a few extra visitors i don t even have the excuse that i m vomiting when i blog sunday 18 february 2007 posted by thalya in pregnancy 3 23 comments 8w2d and who knows what the embryo is doing in there i went to the clinic yesterday and didn t get a scan it nearly killed me the reason i had to go on a saturday without even the hit of a scan was that dr candid kindly wrote me a repeat prescription for the drugs i m on and h very kindly went to pick it up and fill it on friday sadly neither dr candid nor h recognised that i m actually on cyclogest suppositories this time rather than the gestone i was on for our last few ivf cycles i m really not about to start injecting myself in the butt again so we had to go and get a new prescription from dr gorgeous yesterday morning and try to return the gestone despite it still being in sealed packets and having been dispensed just 15 hours before they will only destroy it it turns out what a waste i nearly asked dr gorgeous for a scan but she didn t offer and i felt as if i was being weak in even asking for one so i didn t i then agonised to h about it for a good 30 minutes as we sat in the pharmacy but somehow managed to leave the area of the clinic with the right drugs and without the scan the fact we have an appointment for this thursday for a nearly nine weeks scan already set up made me feel somewhat better this is in preparation for seeing dr candid on friday for a discussion of our antenatal care hah the man is a real optimist but my lack of optimism means i decided to have a scan before the appointment so that we were sure we were talking about the real issues when we met i m very stupid and keep reading terrible stories of embryos looking great at 7 or 8 weeks and subsequently dying i know it s unusual but we all also know it happens despite this i m generally feeling in balance not terribly pessimistic not utterly optimistic i am pregnant for now i have felt organised and optimistic enough to book the nuchal scan already i m going to the same clinic that katty went to with the man who basically invented the quad test so i feel that we will be in good hands because he only scans on wednesdays and they think the test is best done between 12 and 13 weeks we re having the scan on the 21st march when i will be 12w5d if we get that far still a long long way to go but essential to book it now as you can imagine how booked up he gets i continue to feel that the universe has it all wrong in how it hands out pregnancy symptoms first it gives people like poor beth hg and makes her pregnancy nearly unbearable then it hands out a list of symptoms as long as your arm to your average pregnant woman pick up any pregnancy book even the sensible ones like lesley regan s and you get a long list of things you may be feeling tired sick food aversions veins standing out on your breasts breasts growing areolas darkening breast sensitivity etc etc but the average pregnant woman isn t terribly worried about her pregnancy she just wants to get on with life why is she feeling exhausted and sick and why are so many of us infertiles given nothing to go on leggy katty and others have all commented how they ve had nothing much in the way of syptoms shouldn t there be some kind of allocation system that hands these things out to those of us who need them but silly me if that was true none of us would have been infertile in the first place h keeps pointing out that despite my moaning about lack of symptoms i do actually have a reasonable number of indicators to whit boobs are sore no longer just the nipples the whole area to the extent that h made me yelp yesterday afternoon when he gave me a big hug they hurt a lot less in the morning after a night of not wearing a bra so i m guessing that even though i don t seem to have gone up a size my current bras may be not fitting properly and so increasing the soreness i have vague feelings of nausea usually in the early evening but also at other times if i get hungry it s very counter intuitive to eat when you feel nauseated but yesterday at 5pm for example after a stint at the hairdresser i was feeling quite sick so i went into a bakery and bought an olive fougasse after eating about half of it i realised it wasn t really doing it for me so i went searching for some cheese i m not really a big cheese fan but i ve realised that i should be eating more calcium so i thought it was a reasonable bet i spent ages in tesco express looking for some cheese clearly labelled as pasteurised have you tried this there s not much i ended up with some leerdammer light slices after three of these i felt much better and was in good shape for my leg waxing appointment i didn t feel sick again til about 1945 just before my mother dished up dinner so i think it s becoming a reasoanbly safe bet to say that the nausea is related to me being hungry and it s not how i usually feel i have a few food aversions or rather food that makes me feel sick both times we ve had curry since i got pregnant i ve felt sick immediately it showed up and struggled to get it down despite sticking to healthier dishes like spinach chick peas and baked chicken tikka i could only eat any of the curry this friday night by eating tiny mouthfuls very slowly which is very unlike me the other food aversion is soggy broccoli never my favourite i like the stalks but not the florets so much it s become so horrible to me that h had to pick it out of the pasta he made for dinner on thursday i can only eat it if it s basically only had 2 minutes steaming any more than that and i think it s horrible still i m trying to eat it occasionally as it s so terribly good for me brushing my teeth makes me gag pretty much every time i am tired but then i m always tired so it s hard to figure out if i m any more tired than usual i have on a few occasions had to pee in the middle of the night i have a bladder of steel so this is not like me that s it it s not a lot and each on its own might not be convincing so it takes h to remind me that it s not normal to feel sick every evening before dinner gag every time i brush my teeth or jump when he hugs me i m taking his word for it what i m finding hardest to deal with is everyone else s unbridled optimism my mother in particular is feeling that this pregnancy is more likely to succeed because it was spontaneous h feels similarly my mother in law and the rest of h s family is already counting towards the birth my sister in law on h s side who i love did say to me try not to be too negative when i was trying to explain to her why i couldn t jump up and down about the pregnancy just yet she didn t mean it but it made me feel as if it would be all my fault if something went wrong i wonder if that s how they ve felt previously thank goodness they ve never said anything like that before so all in all i am fine just normally paranoid for this time in a pregnancy after infertility i am very busy at work hence lack of posting i am also now travelling again it was becoming unprofessional not to do so but i have been reassured by everyone that drinking plenty of water on the plane moving around as much as possible and sleeping plenty will mean that this is not a big deal so that s what i m choosing to believe long may that continue happy yet sunday 11 february 2007 posted by thalya in bgc pregnancy 3 the doctors 49 comments thank you so much for all the good wishes friday was indeed a great day i think the first time i ve felt confident in this pregnancy some of you wondered if i could be happy now and i can confirm that certainly on friday i was happy happy and confident a good combination of course i felt like an idiot when i went to the loo just before bed on friday and found that i was spotting again well not so much spotting as there was some brownish gunk in there that needed to come out it looked like some of the residual pessary material mixed with a bit of old blood it didn t totally freak me out just enough to go back downstairs to get h to confirm that it was nothing to worry about and there s been nothing since so i m not worrying about it much the lack of symptoms continues to bug me although i do realise that i m incredibly lucky to not be throwing up all the time boobs remain sore although not very and i ll just hang onto that for now my abdomen has been doing a lot of aching although sufficiently un crampy that it doesn t worry me but reassures me that something is happening i was feeling secure enough that i did dig up a pregnancy book and see what i should and shouldn t be eating i already resent lack of sushi and unpasteurised cheese but the deprivation is also quite satisfying in a way we ll see how long that lasts i ve tried to up calcium intake since i don t eat much and virtuously added some steamed broccoli to our takeout lamb burger and salad last night well the burger was not virtuous but i hope the broccoli was calcium plus lots of antioxidants don t you know friday was enhanced by a lovely email from dr candid congratulating us and offering i a scan anytime and ii a consultation with him to discuss antenatal care scary but encouraging he signed it fingers and toes crossed which i thought was nice and un doctorly we are lucky to have that clinical team pulling for us over the last week i ve been exchanging voicemails with bgc who say they have the immune tests back and that i should give them a call i m guessing they are going to tell me i need igg since they ve been quite persisitent but given how well this embryo is going i m not sure i m ready to succumb to that particular neurosis we ll see what happens when we finally get the results of course the glow of that great ultrasound has dissipated somewhat not enough to put the pregnancy books away but enough that i m not grinning like a lunatic and summed up enough tension to have a screaming row with h this morning over nothing well i screamed and he mostly looked bemused it didn t make me feel any better i ll hang on to the 95 chance of a normal healthy baby that we ve been given as long as i can i know it s not any where near a dead cert but it s so much better than we ve ever managed before older posts search about i m a veteran infertile with two years of treatment behind me this blog is intended to be a safe space to discuss infertility
