Cause I am very scare .. I am taking the coktail regulary for many years and just got pregnant , my dr. match me drugs which wont duppose to harm me or my baby during pregnancy so I am currently on videx250 + kaletra and viread but still.. you know... how can I know for sure these druge wont harm my baby, I am going crazy from all these thoughts...
-
I recall reading a new study, and it followed 200 hiv poz women all on haart and all gave birth normally and none gave the virus to baby and they did not mention any damage to the baby from haart
-
thanks , i will try search for this study ... i guess while I am undetactable for long time and cd4 over 800 i should not be that worried ...

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and taking the cocktail. I have had some problems with side effects and I have not gained a pound yet which they contribute to the cocktail. I have a great system in MN of a nurse that visits my house once a month and great id that deals with pregnancy too.
-
I can just say that in my hospital in the netherlands there have been 6 births by HIV+ moms in 2006 and the cocktail didn't harm any of the babies. I think you are very very brave and I want to follow that route myself. Doctors in Israel are very thorough and strict when it comes to babies & birth (many of the routine checks in Israel are not performed in Europe) and I believe that they would not take chances.
Dash me-holland. Tishlechi li PM im at tzricha mashu ;)

So are you from Israel as well in your origin?
Anyway , I am only at te begining of week 8, just started but you know , have already all these nighmares ... I got really disappointed when Momoftow 's reply stating she didn't gain not even one pound, I was hoping with the prenenacy to get this women's shape .. at list this , to get a bit hips you know, something, is there any hope it will happen ???
-
Yes I am.
I am so sorry I can't help with the lipo. I am not going to make any suggestions on this, because I am sure you tried many of them. Just send you strength, and I think it's wonderful you are pregnant.
I will be offline now for 5-6 days. See you next week & all the best.

I hava a question to momoftn, u say u are on week34 and diid not gain 1 pound, but i dont get it,,, your baby is being developed right ? so how exactly did he grow if you didn't gain weight ? My weight is approx 54 kg so do u mean i will stay this way untill end of pregnancy? this is horrible... i can not even imagine that...
-
She is measuring in weight and body size three weeks ahead. Your body will suffer not the babies usually. I finally did gain a pound this appointment today but so far I should have gained at least 15. I have had numerous ultrasounds and she is doing very well with no signs of any problems.
With my last pregnancy I only gained 8 pounds so it may just be the way my body responds. However I have had a decreased appetite on the cocktail along with persistent diahrea.
-
Hi , I was hoping that pregnancy will be able to help me gain some weight in the right area, did your pelvis became wider ? I hope mine will... I suffer a lot from the lipo and i am so afreid for how will if effect on my body....
-
I was curvy before I got pregnant and I am curvy now so not sure if I have had any lipo problems. However I have only been on the meds since December because even before I got pregnant my viral load was 663 and my cd 4 count was 504.
-
Bad news. I went to do a routine ultrasound today at week9 and there was no pulse, they checked it 3 times and decided I have to go thru an abortion, they set up a date on 20.05,
I was told in the hospitel I am the 5th woman today with the same story.
U have no idea how I feel , like I want to die , so empty ...
Is there any one of you who went thru the same thing ? Do u think its got anything to do with the hiv or with the cocktail ? I was told in the hospitel its got nothing to do one with the other and this is very common but still , I am having these thoughts what if it does got somthing to do with the hiv, what if it will repeat itself on the second time ?
:'(
-
I am so sorry to hear this.
I know this is common in all women, my friends went through this too and they are not positive. But I read somewhere that it might be even more common in positive women. I guess we will not be sure.
That's why I want to get pregnant asap, but I can't. My BF doesn't want a baby, and my job is not secure.
I wish you a quick recovery, be well and take good care.

Panda,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
-
Panda,
I am very sorry for your loss. Please accept my warmest sypathies.
-
Panda I am very sorry! I have been through that ultrasound of no heartbeat five times and each time was devastating!
-
5 times ?? god !! but was it 5 time i a row ? Now you are pregnent , is this your first pregnancy in general and is it your first pregnency with the drugs you are taking ,,, the 5 time there were no pulse ... were for the same pregnancy ? Is this mean I should expect to fail some more pregnents ? I can't take it ! What did your dr. say ? Thos they say its got anything to do with the drugs or with the hiv in general? my dr, says its got nothing to do with this ,,, What drugs are you taking currently during pregnancy, do u have any idea if kaletra+videx and viread can cause this abortion? When we furst thinking of getting pregnent i was still with stockrin and been adv its nit safety, i refused to switch it to kaletra cause of the lipo so i was given the viramune - but unfortunately , the viramune caused for Steven Jhonson symptom , and i almost passed away, so i had no other choice but going back to the kaletra with the viread and videx ...

It was five times over four years. At the time I was dealing with an infertility specialist and the meds for infertility were getting me pregnant I just had a problem carrying past 10 weeks.
I have a beautiful two year old son though and I was not HIV pos. for that pregnancy. I did not learn I was HIV pos until this pregnancy. I started taking combivir and viracept around December however throughout my pregancy my viral load was under 5500 and in fact I actually started meds with a viral load of 664 and CD 4 count around 500.
With HIV if you are serious about getting pregant I would advise that you see an infertility specialist to get their take on what you should do. I say this because with your medicine and viral loads you may want to see if there is a better time so that you can wean from meds first and get pregnant quickly through a medical boosted cycle with chlomid etc. Remember that it takes time for your body to heal from a termination and you should wait at least three months with one charted cycle before you think of starting again.
Keep in mind that there may be absolutely nothing wrong with your fertility. There is a pretty high percentage of pregnancies that end in the first 12 weeks. My mom had two miscarriages and five children so that may give you an idea.
As for meds my dr. will only work with the meds that I am on during pregnancy and really does not like to do them until the second trimester. Not really sure that your meds would have caused this.

hi. thamks for your ling reply. so , first, i can not stop with the meds on the first trimester since when i started meds i had over a million viiroload and o !!! cd4. so there is a a very high possibiity that if i'll quit i will develope a resistance etc ... i must continue with the meds. I am under infirtility specialist treatment, he was so happy , not for loong time. i gave a visit yesterday to my hiv+ dr. i cried a lot and he checked again and again and promised me there is not connection to the drugs ... he promised me it will be ok ...
