Headache since Thursday. *updated*

 I have had a headache since Thursday. I went to the doctor Friday, and she thought it could have been a tooth infection. I went to the dentist, and he said there was not any evidence of a tooth infection. Fast forward to today I'm still fighting this headache. I went the the doctor again this morning. They collected a sample of my urine, and took blood. It turns out that I might have a UTI, and I have protein in my urine. They were sending it out for a culture. 

Now I have to go to my OB in an hour because they are worried I might have pre-e. I'm so scared. My blood pressure is fine, I'm not swelling, and I haven't gained weight, but they still think it is pre-e. Ugh! I really want this pregnancy behind me. I think having a stroke should exempt me from other issues with this pregnancy. I guess some T&P would be really nice right now. I could really use them :-(


UPDATED
My OB collected another urine sample (it was clean). My blood came out fine (I'm anemic but I that). I will find out about the UTI tomorrow. 

They sent me to have an MRI. They were worried that I could have a bleed on my brain from the Lovenox. I had the MRI done, and it was clean too. Basically they have no idea why I'm having this headache. I'm relieved, but I'm pissed about them making me plan for the worse. I hope this headache goes away tomorrow. Thank you for listening to me. I appreciate the support :)

  • I am sorry your worried, i know its hard to hear there may be an issue, but it will all work out...

    Side note: when i was Dx with Pre-e it was at my induction, i never had any signs but a head ache!

    Good luck you will be ok! Try not to stress, think of calming thoughts, and relaxing places!

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

  • Thinking of you! I broke my foot and am in a cast, definitely not as serious as a stroke but I know what it feels like to feel as though you wish you could have a free pass on not having any more complications or issues. Hang in there.

  • Great update! I'm glad they haven't found anything wrong, but how frustrating to not know what's going on! I hope the headache goes away on its own very soon.
  • I've had a headache since 20 weeks. My neurologist sent me to physical therapy because my sub-occipital muscles are swollen.

    I've been doing PT for 7 weeks now and it's definitely helped. I still have the headache every day, but it's not as severe or debilitating.

    Just something you might want to look into...
