Cautious intro/morning sickness ?

Aurora1181 · February 2014

Hi ladies! Today we got back our second beta so I thought I would make a very cautious intro. First beta was 310, second was 899. We transferred two blastocysts on a 5dt. This month marks three years of TTC so we are feeling very very fortunate but also scared. Also, I have been puking like crazy.. For about four hours today. Nurse said it is normal but holy cow! How on earth will I go to work tomorrow (I'm a high school English teacher). Any tips to help??

So glad to see you over here, congrats! My only advise is small meals and eat whatever sounds good to you at the time...I had several meals of just mozzarella sticks for a while

Congrats on your bfp, and welcome to PAIF! Your betas sound great. The only thing that kept my nausea somewhat manageable was forcing myself to stay constantly hydrated (Gatorade was the only liquid I could tolerate for several weeks), and eating something at least every 2-3 hours, even if I had to force myself. I hope you find something that helps (and everyone is different), because it sure does dampen the excitement somewhat!

Congrats!!!! Unfortunately I'm 13 weeks 2 days and puke every. single. day. I'm taking zofran, phenergan, B6, and unisom....... I puke a lot. Tortilla chips seem to help me.

The other thing is if you take Zofran it may constipate you

Congrats and welcome!!! As PP mentioned, snack often! Milk used to kill me and it took me longer than I should have to learn to stay away from it... Dry Cheerios became my friend!

Hi and welcome over here! :-h
Pp had some great advice. If you can start taking 25mg of B6 every 8 hours, it helped me out a lot. Snacks and staying as hydrated as you can are key too! Saltines, cheeze its, pirates booty were and still are some of my go to nausea busters. Don't hesitate to call in a script for something either, just be very careful of the constipation Zofran can cause.
Also, if you have a Trader Joes near you I found some ginger mints there that are the bomb but peppermints or some other hard candy might help too.

Welcome and congratulations!! I also had a 5dt of two embryos and had similar betas to yours on 9pt and 12dpt - so far healthy twins!! I've also had a lot of nausea but very little vomiting. This is what helps me

1. eating lightly and frequently

2. drinking water with lemon

3. when severe prescription zofran (prescription diclegis is also an option). If you get a scrip for zofran I would recommend a lot of water and also asking your OB if colace is OK (most OBs say it is)

4. on Friday my acupuncturist told me eat one slice of a Granny Smith apple every one hour - haven't tried this yet

5. sea-bands - these help me somewhat. You can get them at pretty much any drug store. They hit at acupressure spot on your upper wrist - just make sure you follow the directions so they are in the right spot.

Congratulations again and hope you feel better!!

Hi and congrats! I'm a teacher too, but of little ones so they are a bit more oblivious to me running out. If I were in your situation, I'd ask my doctor for some Zofran so I could function.
Is there someone at work you can trust to share the news with so that he/she can cover your class if you need to run out?
I'd also suggest keeping a trash can outside of your room -- just in case

Jolly ranchers helped me (especially the apple) though now I can't even look at them haha. Also, flavored bubbly water helped.
And, I'm a huge proponent of acupuncture. 3 treatments and my m/s was gone. I also wore sea bands until week 14. So fashionable!
Hope you find relief!!

Congrats and welcome! It's great to see you over here!!

PPs have had some great advice for the nausea - I hope it gets better for you soon. Your betas sound great. GL at your first u/s!!

I don't have any advice as I was fairly fortunate on the m/s front, but just wanted to say congrats on your bfp and hopefully you can find some relief for the m/s.

Congratulations and welcome

- I've been sick pretty much 24/7 since just before 6 wks. I'm on diclegis, which has helped a bit but it's not a cure. Good luck- lmk if you find something that works !!

Congrats on your BFP! PPs have given some good advice for the MS. I hope it passes soon!
