Hi ladies,
I know you have gone before me and hopefully have some wisdom. I have been sick since 8w and it shows no signs of slowing. I started Zofran at 16w and it worked for a few days but now I am getting sick again. Will be adding Reglan to see if that helps.
Any words of advice? I feel like I've tried all the remedies without relief. Even some "you can do it" support would be appreciated.

You can do it!
Mine stopped at right around 19 weeks. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will be stopping soon!
No real words of advice, particularly if you've tried pretty much everything. Not much worked for me either. Sometimes, what worked the best was just being distracted. I found that when I was teaching and my students were acting up, I didn't have time to focus on how gross I felt. I

I was ALL about the Reglan. It's the only thing that worked for me.
So sorry you're having to deal with this!!!!!!
Try all the options - different ones work best for different people. I think it is the phenergan that is best at night since it can knock you out (got that one at the hospital this last time). For me the Zofran really only decreased my vomiting frequency, until it was next to nothing. But I took it until about 26 weeks as well - every time I tried to go off of it the puking came back.
It should get better before the end even if it doesn't go away entirely. I was really amazed how it was just gone once the baby arrived too. I could take the big ibuprofen horse pills without gagging and puking, which would have definitely happened while I was pregnant.
You can do it! I trhew up at least a few times a week until the end (capped off by puking 3 or 4 times during the actual birth... LOL)
I never tried any of the drugs... but, I did find that playing around with my eating habits helped a little bit. Certain foods, like fruits and some grains were worse than others.
You can doooo eeeeet!
I had m/s until 19w and then again in the 3rd tri. I took vitamin B (6? 12?). Sucked on ginger Altoids all.the.time. Ate the blandest foods I could find. And carried a grapefruit around with me so I could sniff it whenever I needed to. For some reason, it would calm my stomach. DH started referring to it as my Snuggle Fruit.
I hope you feel better soon!
