@mcndkmtd could you perhaps try calling your family doctor for an Rx? Or your previous OB? I see @orbmaker suggested going to the emergency- I actually did this and although they helped in the moment, they wouldn't give me a prescription and advised me to speak to my doc instead. I think they can be hesitant to give you anything during your pregnancy without knowing you or your history at risk of hurting the baby.
anyways - I had met my OB at this point but never had a formal appointment. I called in and he did write me a prescription and called it in to my pharmacy. I would try...
@justkeeptrying I do the 2 at night, 1 in the morning, and 1 in the afternoon. One thing to consider is that you may not be able to refill your prescription earlier if you are taking more than the actual prescription is for. But if you have enough to take extras and your doctor okayed it, give it a try!
@garnetmama, good point. Yeah my OB prescribed it knowing I might increase. Plus this was the prescription I got during my last pregnancy (I confirmed with her they haven't expired and are safe to take) so I'm not worried about not being able to refill it. But that's a really good point to consider.
@mcndkmtd Have you tried the B6 + Unisom combo yet? I would start there and see if it's helping. If not, then I'd call the OB/Gyn's office to see what they recommend doing.
@mountain_girl I think that it would be best to send her an email before you tell anyone else at the office. I'd try to send it close to the end of the day (and maybe on a Friday?) when you know she'll still see it before she leaves but late enough that she can just call it a day and process the news without an audience. I'd be pretty brief in the initial email. *TW* Tell her how much you appreciate her kindness during your MC and say that you wanted to make sure she heard it first and straight from you. (You likely already know, especially because it just isn't workplace appropriate but don't include anything like, "I'm praying for you.") Once you come out and say that you're pregnant, it's likely that the other person at work is going to want to talk pregnancy with you all the time. Try to limit it. Especially if it's within earshot of your boss. If you get a chance, just tell her that you don't want to discuss it much at work because first, it's off task and second, I'd just say something like "We never know who has just had a miscarriage or is struggling with infertility and is hurt by hearing these things." and if you want, invite her to talk outside of work.

@mountain_girl, you are thoughtful. I was in a similar position *tw* as the other pregnant person in the office and my co-worker (also a therapist) knew I had a miscarriage, proceeded to tell me why I may have miscarried and continued talking very loudly about it and announcing to our co-workers. End *tw* To this day, I have not told her about this pregnancy and continue to avoid her because, not trying to take away from her good news, I felt she was insensitive. Any act of sensitivity on her part would have made me more comfortable with her.

Creepy internet kisses to each of you!!!!!! I basically just bought everything you all suggested. I was feeling very stressed out before...Thank you!!!!
More creepy hugs and kisses! I'm happy to report I had enough with me that I was satisfied and covered my bases bc only a small portion sounded good or didn't get vomited. Major win!
Thank you again, ladies!
Here's to feeling very different for the next all day event and to all of us feeling much better very soon!

@kiki75 and @ishmoney thx so much for your responses and suggestions....I am hoping to wait until 12 weeks to tell her, but with this being my second pregnancy, I'm getting pretty thick around the middle, and have been calling in sick more often and coming in late due to appointments, so might need to tell her sooner. Thx so much again!!
