Ciao ragazzi! So today it is our first visit to the OB. So this is a new adventure, so this is a new like path. We do not know what to expect, we don't know how it's gonna go. If we don't like it we can change it? Of course! Okay okay, so if you watch this video don't worry, I'm gonna cut this part if it's not good.
I don't know, the one that we're going to see, she has really good reviews online so hopefully everything goes well. I made a list of everything that I need to talk to her about, like as far as my medical history.
All that thing, so let's see how it works, how it looks like and then talk later.
I don't know what to expect to be honest so I go inside.
My little Amore still have symptoms so to come here it was easy.
The car makes me super sick but at least it wasn't too far. Hey Amore, how are you feeling? I don't know why I'm nervous. Yeah, I mean, why the box?
I don't know.
Okay, let's see.
Let's see what it's gonna be.
I crossed in just a second. Hopefully we'll get a better view.
Somewhere like right in here is gonna be the sweet spot. There we go. Hi in here. There you go. Hi sweet baby. So the head's
up towards here. That little flicker
right in there, we'll take a listen. That's her heartbeat.
Try to get it a little
bit louder, but it's perfect.
Yeah, perfect.
It's nice and fast.
It's beautiful. Oh, it's so good. Right at 178, which is perfect. Okay.
Oh, and they're moving.
Okay, let me see if I can get them in view. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?
No, we don't know yet.
Oh, we're so excited.
They gave us an envelope.
They gave us.
We haven't opened it yet.
Oh, OK.
And you can see this little leg coming out here. And then their hand is kind of like by their face
on that other side there.
It's so amazing.
Wow.
It's awesome. They look so good. You can see their brain is starting to form.
All of the good things. That's awesome. Okay, we made it!
She made it to the car and now we need to make it to home. So good experience.
Yeah, really good experience.
I really like the doctor. Yeah, we have good hands. She did IVF.
She did IVF, so...
So it's just like the doctor. Yeah, we have a good hands
She did yeah, so so she's like she knows the whole experience the whole process and
That was really nice because I was worried. We're gonna have to like give a whole explanation of
Everything we've done She already knows everything. Yeah Obviously our clinic was able to send over all of our documents so she knows exactly what we specifically have done. Yeah.
Sorry. We talk about a little bit of food inside so Jessie don't like it, but about this situation like Jessie cannot eat, we are totally safe for the first trimester The the kid gonna eat whatever it is inside Jessie so We can keep eating whatever just is feel if you want to eat crackers. You're gonna eat crackers
Both the clinic and the new doctor both want me to take the medicine. Mm-hmm. So we're gonna do it I was thinking like do I have to take it if I'm not throwing up like water and if I'm able to keep food down you know for the most part and they were
like... They saw Jessie and said okay this is pretty severe so I think like we need to go with a little bit of medicine.
What I understand is like the nausea and the gagging is severe to where they want me to take the medicine and both doctors want me to take the medicine so I'll take the medicine. And you guys in the comments were like, take the medicine.
Take the, yes.
Fine, I'll take the medicine.
Jesse didn't want to take the medicine but...
They said, they swore it's safe. Everybody swears it's safe, so...
Yeah, they said we are in the peak right now, so in maybe two weeks you could start feeling better.
Okay.
Hey, just me, I guess.
But, yeah, maybe in two weeks we're gonna feel better. And so we are happy.
Jesse's back. Back again. two weeks we're gonna feel better and so we are happy.
Guess she's back, back again. So everything seems really good. She answered all of our questions, she talked about my endo and we have a plan for blood work especially with my thyroid and like I do have a history of um some low like ferritin levels Which everybody's always thought is connected to my endometriosis Plus I have some people in my family that also have that so We're gonna monitor all that everything seems like they're on it and she said, you know, our goal is to make you a super boring
normal patient yeah that sounds really good to me yeah I hope I'm super boring
yeah so let's make this Jessie patient boring Ciao ragazzi today we have another visit but different because today we check your thyroid right Amore? Yes. Because Jessie has, for who don't know from the past videos, she has a completely removed thyroid. So technically the doctor that we saw a couple of days ago said that the thyroid in this case is fine for the baby,
right?
Yeah, she said it wasn't dangerous, but it's something that we need to monitor and that I need to have like a regular endocrinologist because my old one retired. I have to get a new one and so I have to go just so they can monitor. They might reduce my dose a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but for pregnancy
It's fine, but you could have symptoms different right because you definitely have I'm having like hyper yeah so that's why because we take maybe too much medicine now we need to do a visit to try to check up but if for the baby is fine it is try to monitor right now she's no worry yeah so let's do this visit okay we did a thyroid visit everything is fine everything's good the only thing we need to
do a lot of visits more we're going and a little more than I even expected yeah so we see them every two weeks for blood work every four weeks for an appointment up until I think she said 20
weeks 20 weeks so substantial but it makes me feel good that, you know. We need to check the levels, everything going well because it's important for our reason, for you too. Especially for you because it's all about our money now. Yeah, but she gave
us a lot of really good tips and she said everything even though like technically I'm on too much thyroid hormone it's okay it's better that than not enough so everything is looking good
yeah happy. I called my mom now you have a little bit of cramping. There is the uterus expanding. I'm wondering if it's keep expanding, I think so, for...
I guess.
I guess.
It has to grow as the pregnancy progresses.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's not good.
It's more intense right now than it's been so far.
Listen, we have the medicine but we weren't taking it yesterday and now we are regretting, right? I'm really regretting it
because to be honest, so I know that... So we have the medicine, we just haven't taken it yet because they said you can get really drowsy when you take it the night before during the day and today we really needed to do a lot of stuff because we're a little bit behind on our schedule so I didn't take it now I'm regretting it very badly because I am really really fighting the nausea I threw up a little bit it's just not been a very fun day. Yeah, tonight we're gonna take it
and see tomorrow how it looks like. Ciao ragazzi! So we go back to the doctor because we need to have a little check-out because Jessie has some cramping. She has a little bloody spot but I don't think it is nothing it is about the last time we did a visit and maybe we broke some vessels but it's been a few days and it hasn't stopped so we're gonna check it out try to remove the anxiety
so let's go guys okay and what if we are here like
we're here
so now we're gonna know what is that in my opinion it's nothing but um
better to check
yeah
anything
yeah
yeah i know i know especially for Harry's story yeah better to check
better to check yeah it's weird Better to check. Better to check, yeah.
Perfect. Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I see that, so now I'm like.
Now that's all we can see is the turkey, yeah.
And it's just rolling and moving like crazy.
Okay, Ragazzi, we did the visit. Everything is fine. Everything's fine. We have an amazing, awesome doctor. They pick up immediately us and in the day because we was a little bit worried. Last minute, they make us to arrive, they do a heart visit, they will check out again the baby like you see, and everything is perfect.
It is just, we were a little bit worried because we still have a little bit anxiety for heart miscarriage in the past. And when you feel maybe some little cramps
and blood spotting.
The thing is, what I told Alessia, I was like, if it was just spotting, it's okay. Especially if it was brown, I'm not gonna be concerned, but I had some red in the spotting.
A lot of red, and it was just a little bit. And I just let it attach the blood. It was, blah, okay?
Well, it wasn't like a period, okay? No, not a period okay, no no For what we expecting and then I was having cramping and pretty intense compared to like I've had cramping the whole time But it was more intense than just like light cramping that I had so far. So two of those together
tricking were like
Yeah, yeah those together were like making the anxiety spike. The day after was again a little bit spotting and then again a little bit spotting so it is about three days and we say...
And today was more than the before. It wasn't like it went down. So we were like...
So they pick up us immediately so we don't need to wait another day, because you know, anxiety, if you need to wait another 24 hours is bad. And everything is fine. It is just for the first visit, pretty much. And...
She thinks it's because of the ultrasound. Plus, she said something about like, because you've got hormones fluctuating, cause we're going off of our progesterone right now, so things could be a little bit unstable. And that, along with the transvaginal ultrasound, could have just upset my cervix or whatever. I did ask her to just go ahead and let's test for some infection, just to make sure.
Just for make sure.
Cause we're here as well. She doesn't think I have it and I don't have like symptoms of it.
Yes.
But better to just check and be sure.
Yeah.
But very happy that everything looks good.
It's amazing.
But this isn't a battle, mental battle.
A mental battle for us. I don't know what is the metal bottle but everything is going okay. Okay? Ragazzi, that was supposed to be our last shot tonight, right Amore?
Supposed to be.
But?
We're gonna keep going two more weeks. Tomorrow I'll be 10 weeks. And for the last two weeks, we've been tapering down the progesterone and oil shots. So we went down from 100 micrograms to 50 all last week. And then this week, we've been doing one shot every other day. But just because we've been having this like weird, like light bleeding, spot spotting stuff I asked the
clinic I was like can you get that when you taper off progesterone and they said yes it's pretty common if we want to we can keep going every other day until 12 weeks and we thought Alessio and I decided together, that just for peace of mind, we decided to do that.
So put this in the pile. Guys, this is what we got for now.
Yeah.
It's insane, just so.
Yeah.
So this are not cups, actually.
The needle.
The needle. So this was a pin you was holding.
Exactly, this little thing went into a pin and you dosed up, I think each one did three.
Three shots.
Three and a half doses, and then this would be the top needle that goes inside.
Yeah, so this is a big number together because it's three shots every day.
These are all from our agri-retrieval.
This is what we're doing right now, Qatar the big one.
These were the Lupron shots.
Trigger shots for the three.
These are all mixed together here. Oh, Minapur. I forgot about that.
Ah, memories, huh? We save it for memories. This is not what we did in Italy. Okay, in Italy it was just one third about this. Actually, no, we don't have the injection, that injections. We have...
Suppositories.
Suppositories.
But we did have other little injections.
We have other injections.
They were like this, like a size this big. I don't remember what it was, but we had that and then we had the egg retrieval one too.
Yeah. Along the road we were thinking, oh my God, tonight we finish, but no, other two, but
this is...
We're going to add more to this line.
Yeah, more to that. Just for like security.
Security, I got to that. Just for like security. I don't want to be like second guessing.
We don't want to second guessing.
So even though we want to stop the progesterone shots because it's annoying and my hips hurt, they're very sore every day, you know, a couple more it's not gonna hurt.
This is what a mom do for the child. This is what a mom do for the child. Everything possible.
