I am sure its fine. If many pregnant woman take it I can't imagine it will hurt anything. Its just an acid reducer/blocker nothing that would effect your uterus or anything. I agree with your husband, no worries =)

I don't know much on this... but every site that I googled said it's okay....

ZantacZantac

Zantac 300 geldose
Zantac 75
Zantac efferdose
Zantac geldosehover_boxes.hoverize_link('term_4237968_4', 'highlight_term') is a class B drug: studies done in animals have shown NO bad effects on off-spring and there are no trials in pregnant women. This is as positive a recommendation for use in pregnancy was we can have. There are almost no [COLOR=#006cc8! important][COLOR=#006cc8! important]medications[/color][/color] where studies have allowed pregnant women to be included.
Thus, you can use this medication in pregnancy.
Antacids, such as RolaidsRolaids sodium freehover_boxes.hoverize_link('term_4237968_5', 'highlight_term') , can magnify the constipation that often troubles pregnant women. Finding the antacid that works best is trial and error.
There is normally relaxation of gastrointestinal smooth muscle during pregnancy: this contributes to the increase in heartburn, bloating, [COLOR=#006cc8! important][COLOR=#006cc8! important]nausea[/color][/color], and constipation that all women may experience. Thus, you are correct: GERD (gastro-esophageal refluxGastroesophageal reflux disease

My acupuncturist puts some of the needles in the same place (the sides of my ankles and in my forehead and top of my scalp), but she also places other ones in different places every time. While she's taking my pulse, we usually chat and she asks me if anything hurts or feels not right, and I think she places the needles based on that. Also, at different points in your cycle, she told me that the treatments would be different...In the beginning, it's all about the uterine lining, then she adds in muscle relaxation. On ER/ET days, she works on opening the cervix. Then it's back to muscle relaxation and maintaining the lining.

Of course, this is just my personal series of treatments...other acupuncturists also do treatments for egg quality/quantity, balancing hormone levels, etc.

I have a question...My left side is incredibly sore from the PIO shots, but my right side is doing OK. So for the past 3 nights, I've been doing the shots in my right side. Why is the pain in my left side not getting better? Is there anything I can do?

Lola - I've never experienced being pg, but today I had tons of uterine cramping. I'm 6dp3dt today. I told my acupuncturist the story about my ruptured cyst, and she seemed to actually think it was a good sign ! She said that as long as there's activity down there, it's a good thing. I so hope she is right.
Oh, the sore/enlarged boobs are from the progesterone, so I wouldn't read too much into that sign.

Hi Everyone

Sorry to be MIA lately. We got our blood test results back and unfortunately it was a .

I'm not surprised, but I am sad. We are trying to figure out exactly where we go from here. We are set for another cycle and our RE wants to do it with an ER/ET at the end of August, but I think I need a little more time and may be on track for Sept.

I am trying to figure out what I can do to get better egg quality and quantity. I have started taking the royal jell/bee pollen in honey and Co-Q 10, and I am looking into doing accupuncture as well. I figure all of this stuff takes time to work, and Sept. would give me that time.

Honey, I am so very sorry - thinking of you

[ColoGirl]

Honeybear - I am so sorry. I wish I could give you a real hug... . Don't give up. it will happen for you.

AFM - Got an update from the nurse this morning and we have 2 grade A 4 cell embryos. Thank you Lord. I was a nervous wreck this morning. I couldn't bear to hear the news again that there weren't any eggs to transfer. I am just this cycle is the one for us. ET is tomorrow morning at 12:30pm MST and then the dreaded 2ww.

[wannabeamomma]

I think my DH is going to throw me out the door and you guys might kick me off this site - bc the obsessing and worrying is just TOO MUCH.

I am even sick of me.

Was still stressing over the whole Zantac thing so I called my RE.

He said its NOT on the approved list but that the one time dose should be fine. I said that every site I looked up said it WAS safe. WTF ??? He said I am fine - and just not to take it again.

So yesterday I had light AF like cramps all day. Then last night at 4am I woke up - and felt strange. I am so embarrassed to say but I had an arousing dream. Not sure if I came to a full climax- but I was aroused and the AF like cramps were there - and I started to freak out -as I am 4dp3dt and this is prime implantation time...and if I had an orgasm - did I stop implantation from happening. I started to cry and didn't stop for about an hour. DH just held me and told me that its fine - and I gave him the whole talk about GOD FORBID being unsuccessful and the shoulda coulda woulda's and it will be all my fault.

He told me about all the ladies who don't know they are PG and drink and smoke and all is ok. I agreed but then pointed out that they did not have $30k riding on this - and they did not have their eggs surgically removed and did not invest all her time in getting shots in the stomach and arss !! So its a little different.

So- back to calling RE this morning. The nurse said the odds of me climaxing at the exact time of implantation are so slim and she would bet that if implantation was taking place - that it already happened. And to STOP WORRYING. She said its normal - and while I should still be abstaining from sex - its done - I had no control, I was sleeping. There was nothing I could do.

GOD HELP ME - this is just the 2WW !! Forget the 40 weeks of PG and then the 18 years of raising a child. Non-stop worry.

Is anyone else feeling so out of control and worrying about every little thing ??

And it also did not help that these boards were down all morning. I missed you guys.

Ok, back to the funny farm for me.

Hey Y'all!
We just found out today that none of our 3 little ones in the lab made it to freeze. I thought that might be the case and I didn't think it would bother me, but it did. I told my husband and I just wanted to break down crying. They were our insurance policy, if.....I don't even want to think about ifs. I just have to know that 3 wonderful little ones are growing inside me and I just know we'll get a positive result next week. I am constantly rubbing my belly and saying silent prayers.

I hope today finds you all feeling well and happy.
I'm feeling pretty good. Had some pressure and twinges last night with a few minor cramps. Hope that is a good thing!

I am always thinking and praying for us! So many !!!!

I am so sorry sunflower - I so know how you feel. But I too hope your little twinges it !

[sunflower77]

Wannabe - You are not crazy! I am obsessing over every little thing too. I don't even have any advice for how to stop feeling that way. It is just how we are as we make this journey for something we want so badly. Trust your RE that you didn't harm or stop implantation. I think we all can relate to your worries and concerns. I too am having some twinges and cramps and analyze every little feeling. Just stay positive and believe in the power of your prayers. This will happen for us!
