Thank you for replying. Here's my history. My very first experience w/HG ended w/me terminating the pg due to severe nausea & vomiting, excessive weight loss, inability to handle day to day tasks. My dr at the time advised my mother, since I was young, to terminate because they had tried "everything" to ease the vomiting. The second experience, I was considerable older and thought the previous experience was an isolated illness. By week 6, I was experiencing the severe nausea and vomiting all over again. Again and again I was advised that it was all normal. I started to rapidly lose weight...my body was in starvation mode. My dr became concerned. He started giving me phenegran. This worked at first but quickly became ineffective in its pill form. I went to supp. This worked for awhile. My "treatment" seemed to be phenegran until dehydration then 24 hr hospital stay. Followed by 2-4 days of semi-self and then the cycle started over again. By the time the dr perscribed reglan, my water broke and I m/c at 17 weeks. This third time around, I found a new dr. He was somewhat knowledgeable in HG and diagnosed it when I was 9 weeks. For 6 weeks we tried phenegran. After that, my doctor decided to try reglan. I felt better than I ever had. But at 18 weeks, my water broke and I again lost another child. Basically, the only meds I've tried are phenegran and reglan. I never knew there were other courses of action until I found this site, 2 years after the last m/c. Hopsitals in Atl that I am close to are Dekalb Medical and Northside. My last OB was in Conyers, Ga, 25 min outside of Atl. I'm at a loss. We don't have any kids. I don't want to give up w/o exhausting all possibilities.
