Unfortunate pregnancy update

Well guys, it turns out that I had an Ectopic Pregnancy which ruptured and bled for 2 days into my abdomen. I had to have emergency surgery on Thurs. night. It's a bummer - but even though it destoyed one of my tubes - I will still be able to get pregant in the future. We will try again soon. Bridget

Re: I'm Pregnant!!

This is our first. We had a few things working against us. I am 35, have PCOS, overweight, and I didn't sleep for sh*t!

I'm Pregnant!!

I honestly credit my CPAP therapy to getting me healthy enough for pregnancy. We had been gearing up to try (no contraception) for over a year but we were afraid that I wan't healthy enough. You know - tired ALL the time, NO short term memory, etc...youv'e all been there. My hormones were all out of...

Re: Sleep Apnea Diagnosis in ... a Restaurant?!

wow...that is interesting. I wonder how much of us had braces (or should have in my case) because of overcrowding due to our small jaws.

Re: Dry mouth with tape

I have a humidifier and I have tried to blow out with the tape on to see if there we any leaks. It was stuck tight. I do have that 'blow fish' thing though...could it be that the air is just whirling around in my mouth like a tornado? Maybe I have to retrain my tongue to block the back of my mouth?

Re: First Post - No overnight titration study, is that normal?

They sent me home with a machine that is recording everything. Good thing, too. I am EXTREMELY claustrafobic and my first 7 nights were hell on earth. There is NO WAY that they would have been able to get any info from me in one night. (beside the fact that I need therapy!!! HAHAH)

Re: Lonely, frustrated and depressed about CPAP, cannot sleep

I am only in week 3 also, so I have no insight for you. I just wanted you to know that I am sorry that you are struggling so much with your treatment.
