Pregnant after IF

Moving over

I thought I would introduce myself over here and say hi!  My name is Cristina and I am usually a regular over on 3T and IF.  I had my first beta after IVF#1 and it was 109 this morning.  I can't believe that I can finally say I'm Pregnant!  I am going to say thank you in advance for all your help and insight because I know I am going to have tons of questions starting with...I have already experienced some early nausea and was wondering what tricks you have found that help make you feel better?

Re: Moving over

  • Yay!  Congrats and welcome! 

    As for the nausea, GL.  I have found that if I eat a bigger breakfast (which of course I don't feel like doing) I feel better throughout the day.  Of course, if you are throwing up your breakfast that doesn't help.  Try to eat every 2 hours, start with easy stuff like crackers, but try to add in protein as soon as you can handle it like cheese and crackers or peanut butter and crackers.  And try sucking on sour candies, like lemon drops or jolly ranchers.  A friend of mine said the prego pops really work too.

    Congrats again!  Sending you doubling vibes for your next beta.

  • I'm loving the BFP explosion on 3T today!   Welcome!

    ETA:  For the nausea, eat carbs constantly.  It may seem counterintuitive to eat more often, but I found that constantly munching on crackers or dry cereal like cheerios really helped to keep the nausea at bay.

  • Congratulations and welcome!!!

    The other ladies gave great suggestions - eat constantly, carbs are usually the most tolerable and eating a big breakfast really helps. I had more nausea in the evenings so dinner was always the challenge for me. Sour Patch Kids really helped me too.

    luckily my nausea only lasted a couple weeks.  even though i didn't want to eat, i felt better if i ate something small every couple of hours.

    p.s. i used to show hunter jumper too (if that is whats your name implies)

  • Congratulations and welcome!

    Ditto what PP said about nausea.  I would also like to add to include fresh fruit smoothies, milk, and V8.  V8 really helped me get in some of my veggie requirements, the smoothies the fruit requirements, and the milk both calcium and protein requirements.  The fact that they were cold liquid helped me not be so nauseous and ensured that I got some good healthy servings in.

  • Congrats and welcome!!  I agree with the other ladies - carbs definitely helps.  I also found that I was only more nauseous on an empty stomach so I kept snacks with me constantly.  Hard or sour candies and ginger ale helped, too.
