My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I'm not the most eloquent writer but I want to record my experiences and the meds I am taking. 

Meds and supplements to prevent a first time loss
*Vitamin D due to my deficiency and like between low D and miscarriage
* NO caffeine due to limited studies that show some people with caffeine sensitivity are prone to unexplained loss 
*Magnesium, by drinking Natural Calm, every morning - recommended by Dr. Sheri Hamersley 
*Progesterone 200 mg orally. I doubled up until 8 1/2 weeks to 400mg. 
*Lovenox 40 mg every night due to recommendation from Dr Hamersley
*Vitafol OB prenatal with iron added 
*** Vitamin B6 and Unisom. I started this at around 8 weeks because of nausea. 

Meds I changed and added because of sub-chorionic hemorrhage
*After every major bleed I take extra progesterone in the morning. 
*I had stopped the B6 at 13 weeks when my nausea subsided. I resumed it at 19 weeks to get to help my SCH heal 
*I take additional magnesium to calm my uterine contractions (I cramp up during bleeds which increases the risks of preterm labor) 
*Colace every other day so I don't strain and bleed 

My Faith
Every day I tell God "I will not ask you why, but I know you will sustain me through whatever happens"

Celebrating 32 Weeks... with a DVT!!

Well this week has been ... Interesting. On Monday I noticed my arm hurt at my previous IV site. It was sore and also intensely painful right at the IV site. So I just waited it out and observed... Overnight the pain woke me up twice! In the morning I knew I had to be seen. I went to urgent care. They ordered an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed too blood clots--one in my brachial vein and one in my subclavian vein (a DVT!).  They had me go to the ER. So I went to Frederick. They sent me home with increased dosages of Lovenox, 80 mg twice a day.  Starting the next day I had groin pain. And by Thursday I was dizzy. Soooo back to urgent care I went. They did an ultrasound and a CT scan and blood test. I'm anemic, but nothing was wrong. Whew! All I needed to do was 20 minutes on the monitor with baby before I left. Well... I started having contractions. They're my usual evening contractions but they alarmed the midwife enough that she wanted to keep me and give me more IV fluids....
