Yesterday the rash starting getting really bad and spreading fast. It is now all over, including her face. She was miserable, constantly itching. Took her to the doctor again (thats 3 times in a week but who is counting?). Now they think she is having an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin. They are having her stop the amoxicillin and advised us to get her 5-7ml of benedryl and a steroid was prescribed. We are going to start with the benedryl and see how that goes. If she is still not doing well, we will start the steroid.
Warning: Probably too much info but if it helps someone trying to get pregnant then its ok...
So last month I was pregnant and then a few days later was no longer pregnant. I am not sure if that's considered a miscarriage because it was so early (around 4-5 weeks) but needless to say, the pregnancy didn't make it. I spoke with our friend who had quite a few miscarriages. She is now 31 weeks pregnant. She recommended taking Pregnitude which is a vitamin supplement you mix with water. Its basically folic acid and another vitamin and it helps you have healthier eggs and helps you regulate your cycles. (I was originally skeptical but read the reviews on amazon and your mind will be changed!) She also said her doctor had her taking progesterone suppositories. I decided to call my doctor and see what he said. He ended up saying that he doesn't have a lot of research saying it helps but he knows it can't hurt so he was onboard. Starting when you ovulate, you take a progesterone vaginal suppository every night at bedtime. They say to take it at bedtime because they want you to be laying down for 15 minutes after you insert it. You take it from the day of ovulation until the day of your expected period. If you aren't pregnant, you discontinue use for about 2 weeks (or until you ovulate again). If you are pregnant, you keep taking it, every day, for about 10-11 weeks.
I just started it two weeks ago. I'm not going to lie, its a bit...weird. I will wake up in the middle of the night, get up to go to the bathroom and feel like I peed myself. Hey, I know its gross but I am just telling you about my experience.
Anyways...I feel like its groundhog day..the same thing happened this month. I decided to test about 6 days early and I got multiple positive pregnancy tests..I had positive double line tests, internet cheapies and digital tests. I then tested about 4 days later (two days before my expected period) and they all were negative. I cannot begin to explain the emotional rollercoaster we have felt each month. We are pregnant and excited and then a few days later we are not pregnant and depressed.
The only reason I have been testing early is because sometimes I like to have a drink or two. I feel like when its around the time I should be expecting my period and I want to have a drink, I will take a pregnancy test to make sure I am not pregnant. If it should come back positive, I want to decrease the chances of having any risks with pregnancy as I can so I will not drink.. Its possible I have had this happen to me plenty of times throughout the years and had just not known it because I used to wait until a few days to a week AFTER my expected period to test. By that time, I could have been pregnant and then have something happen and all the hcg leave my system by then.
If I am keeping track and these all count as miscarriages (not sure if they do) I will have had 3 miscarriages in the past 6 months. The only good thing about that is that it now seems like I CAN get pregnant, I just CAN'T seem to keep it. As of two weeks ago, I have started taking the pregnitude and the progesterone. I figured they can't hurt so I have nothing to lose.
Wish us luck!
Mommy said she almost had a brother or sister for me :(
