BAD appt yesterday, please keep me in your prayers

Well, I went to my appt yesterday, already upset that I had to take my 1-hour glucose (only because that was the test I had taken the morning I lost the twins) and they made me take it. I am in terrible pain in my lower back and it radiates down my left leg. The doctor I was supposed to see had to leave to do a delivery, so I refused to leave until I had my appt. They put me in with my original OB (whom I love to death) and she did an internal check of my cerclage, then a vag u/s to measure my CL. still 2.5 but funneling now. Then she decided she needed to do a FFN. She is calling my peri today to start 17P shots. and wants me on bedrest until things stabilize. So, Im at work today, getting things organized for my boss to be able to find things in my office and pack up the stuff I need to do work from home.
Please keep me in your prayers.

 

I will be thinking of you and your baby :hug99:

 

Will pray for you...take it easy, get off your feet. Hope that little one hangs in there.

 

Wow, I am so praying for you right now. I do hope that everything goes well for you. The pain though sounds like the siodic (sp?) nerve pain.

There is a teacher I just got done working with that has a clerage also. When she got it a few weeks ago, she was already starting to dialate. She has been on bedrest since, and all is going well so far. I do hope for the same with you, and that the bedrest will do a lot of help.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Oh Melissa!

I am so sorry things are not going well. Get home and get off your feet! I hope everything will be ok. You and you little one are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sending lots of sticky thoughts!

 

Will most certainly keep you in my thoughts and let us know how you are doing.

 

Melissa, my heart sank a bit when I saw your name originated this post. I hope you can get home soon and put those feet up. I am praying for you and the baby. If you need to talk, PM or email me anytime.

 

Sending you tons of prayers. Rest, rest, rest!

 

I'm keeping you and the baby in my prayers. When is your next appt? When will you get the P17 shots? :hug99:

 

I will keep you in my prayers! I had 3 FFN's done with Molly and each time they came back saying I could give birth within 2 weeks, it turns out each were wrong and she stayed until she was forced out. I will pray that your little bug stays in too.

 

Jamey, the doc just called me here at work ( i know im supposed to be in bed, but i had to get my stuff to bring home with me) and said the service that provides the shots will be calling me today. do you do your own shots?

 

You are in my thoughts! Keep resting! :hug99:

 

Good Luck! Take it easy and rest as much as possible!

 

Sending hugs and good thoughts your way. Rest, rest, rest! :hug99:

I ordered them from a pharmacy in Hialeah, FL, it's one of the only pharmacies in the US and it's here in FL, When you speak to them just tell them that you need it expedited. For me it cost about $95.00, my ins. didn't cover it. My SIL does them for me b/c they are IM, but they are pretty easy to do just pinch and shot. Let me know if you need anything.

 

Take care of yourself and try to rest as much as possible. Did you get the results of the FFN back?

 

:hug99: Definitely sending prayers your way!!

 

:hug99: Thinking of you!!

 

no FFN results yet, they said it would be today sometime, but they didnt do the swab until 4:30 yesterday, so Im thinking I might not hear.

When I have had FFN tests, they had the answer with in an hour (usually way less than an hour)

 

hmm, maybe no news is good news, right.

 

Have you called to see if they have the results. I know with the holiday weekend, you'd prefer to know.

Keep us updated.

 

Hope things are doing better now that you are taking the shots! :hug99:

Mind if I ask waht a FFN and 17P shots are? I have never heard eith of those terms before. I am having to give myself Lovenox shots everyday (for previous blood clots after knee surgery) and that is not fun, but it's I'll do anything to keep me and Megan healthy!! If you have had a previous c-section, try to go as close to that scar (without being in the scar area) as possible...even 4 years later after I had Grant, I am still slightly numb there and it makes the shots easier to tolerate!

:hug99: I will be praying for you!

 

FFN is a swab test that is supposed to tell (not alwasy accurate) if your going to deliver within the next two weeks.
17P shots are a progesterone shot given once a week that is supposed to reduce preterm labor and help strengthen your cervix.
