Okay you all know that I am on day three of my detox program. My dr. put me on Sub.
and a few other meds. Well, ..... (crying hard) there is a big chance that I may be pregnant.
I am 5 days late and I took a test yesterday only one red line, but I still felt weird so I took another this a.m. There was one dark pink line and one very light pink line. As you can guess I am freaking the F**K out ! I am on the birth control pills, and my husband and I are very care. If I am pregnant I ..... don't understand WHY now !! It isn't fare. I am trying to get clean and healthily, all these drugs can do so much damage to a pregnancy. I was planning for Christmas to give my husband a pack go birth control pills and tell him when you are ready we can start trying to get pregnant. As long as I was off all meds of course. We do want more kids, but I feel that I am to unhealthily and to emiotnally stressed now. That's why I am giving get off drugs all I got!
Anyone have some advice ? :-(

wow, the same exzact thing happened 2 me , but i was carring twins! so what they did was put me on methadone thru my whole pregency and that was so i did not go thru withdrawl througout my pregency! then i got off of it after and my babies were all normal, as a matter of fact they are about to turn 2 in feb!

wouldnt your babies have been born addicted to meth, and had to go through withdrawal??
Oh I remember this feeling soooooo well. Wow, hang in there. I was pregnant back in February of this year. After meeting with all my doctors, my pain management doctor said he would absolutely keep me on Norco and Oxycontin which is what I was taking at the time. I had weaned off Valium which was the only drug I was taking that was harmful to the growth of the fetus. Okay it was not ideal to be on narcotics but I had been on them for years for chronic pain and my doctor said the baby may not be addicted to the pills and that I as the mom would be too stressed out going through withdrawl. This stress could harm the baby more than the baby being dependent to the meds at birth. That if needed it would be easier to take the baby through withdrawl than me. I don't know how sub affects the baby. Unfortunately, I have other medical issues and I lost my baby in the 3rd month. It was not due to the drugs though. Please call your doctor Monday and see what you need to do. I think this could still be okay. Let us know what they say.
Hang in there,

as to you question, were they addicted to methadone, yes there was a possibility but no they kept my twins for a week watching them & thank god they were lucky enough to be 2 healty baby girls!!!!!
Hi,
I just gave birth to a very healthy 8lb 9oz baby on October 12th. I had an L5 S1 disc rupture during pregnancy and they put me on 6 5/500 vics a day for a long while. I was so scared and posted to this board for the first time right when it all hit me that the baby was about to be born and I wasn't sure if what I was doing (although under doctors orders) would harm the baby or not. I had a perfectly normal baby - happy and healthy with no trace of the drug in his urine after birth. Although I am still with addiction now (whole other thread, I am sure you've read) PregnantMom has some soothing words of advice that kept me calm and you should listen to her as well. As for her losing her child in the third month, I didn't know that, she didn't mention it when she was posting to my last thread, probably as to not scare me. But I feel terrible for her loss, yet so thankful for her presence here! Thank you pregnantmom. As for you, if nothing else, get into see a doc right away, I know that baby will be alright - if you don't have it, you will never know and that alone might eat at you. In the end it is your choice - I truly believe that - just stay calm and positive. Good luck - Rilla

If I am pregnant I WILL have the baby. Personally I do not believe in abortion. Right now I just have to wait and see if I am, and then go from there. Thanks to you all once again you help claim me down enough to think start!

please keep me in you prayers

If I am pregnant I can not stop prying
PLEASE LET THIS BABY BE HEALTHY (if I am pregnant)
This not knowing is driving me nuts.
Now I am wondering, I am supposed to take 3 subs a day. Tom. I am going to try an only take one. Any advice, does anyone out there think this is a good idea? I can't talk to my Dr. until Monday

From what I understand, Sub has a 36 hour 1/2 life. Meaning it stays in your system for awhile. Are you on 16 mgs? My friend was down to 8 mgs rather quickly. I did the research for her and went to the Dr. also. It is a very strong medicine and I think you can ward off those hideous withdrawals with a small dose. I know my friend has missed doses and been fine. It is used in chronic pain as well as Neon has stated. Can you not page your Dr. I know my friend's Dr. was available 24/7 for her. He charged a few hundred for the visit but was definitely available. Peace.

Hi Marina,
I am at a loss of what to tell you, this is really something I have never had to deal with. I do know however that everything happens for a reason. So maybe you deciding that you had enough of the pills and started this road to recovery was because other changes were coming into your life. I know a few things about getting pregnant though. Been there and done that many many times. I have also taken home pregnancy tests while being on the pill and had them come up positive and have not been pregnant. So you will have to just try to keep calm and for right now until you know for sure what is going on worry about getting yourself clean. Make sure you eat good and drink tons and tons of fluids (water) to flush your system out. Take a good multi- vitamin and most of all nice long walks and plenty of sleep. Call the sub doc and also your obgyn as soon as you can. You need both of them to be involved if you do turn out to be pregnant.
Stay Strong and Take Care of Yourself.......

Well, this is the first time i have done this and im not sure if you can help. Im looking 4 someone to talk to about an addition to vicodin. I have 2 kids and im ready to be off this stuff. The withdrawls are what is scaring me and i thought that if i just talked to someone about it, it might help. When i read your page it talked about the kid issue. Do you have any kids right now? You dont have to answer that if you dont want to but please, answer this... Tell me what the withdrawls are going to be like???
waiting for a reply,

Rilla,
I'm so happy your baby was healthy!!! Congratulations. I didn't tell ya cuz I haven't written alot about it. It has been really heartwrenching for me as this was very well my last possibility of pregnancy due to my age. The miscarriage was totally unrelated to my medication use though.
I really did alot of research regarding this whole aspect when I was pregnant. I believe my physician was correct in his approach of having me stay on the meds. It would have stressed my body out too much with my current medical history to chance withdrawl. I was a high risk pregnancy as well due to my health history. Sub. is a catagory C risk for pregnancy which is not so hot but to be honest they have not done enough studies to really know the effects on pregnancy. Being that you are possibly in the earliest stage, you will be able to wean off and I really believe you are gonna do real well. The most important thing is to know you and your baby are going to be healthy and stay in positive light all along the way, surrounding yourself with only goodness. You can do it and if you are pregnant you will!!!
I know some of you are saying then what happened to you??? Well I had the unfortunate misfortune of losing my baby. I knew going into the pregnancy it was a huge risk for me. I was willing to give it all for the baby and I went for it with all I had. I loved that spirit with all my heart and I found out mom instinct cames quickly with lots of protection for baby. At the same time I talked to the spirit alot and I gave it permission to go if it was not going to be healthy or I was not going to survive the pregnancy and be able to raise her. This is something I did not know the outcome of but I trusted the spirit and talked to it each day. I know I'd have been a great mama and I miss the baby who would have been born Oct. 20th c-section. I'm grateful it came to me if only a little while because I was blessed.
Pregnancy is such a beautiful time. I wish you all the positve wonderful thoughts and trust of the process at hand. When your baby is born I hope I will get to read about it like Rilla. Once you go for it you visualize all things going well, the baby being beautiful and healthy and don't stand for anything less. You can do it. Meanwhile do not stress yourself out too much. Talk to your doctor on Monday and take it from there.
Best Wishes

See Marina,
I told you - Pregnantmom is going to be your saving grace here, she was mine in my final days of pregnancy and everything was fine! I love you pregnantmom - and I don't even know you! You are so very right about that spirit, and the strength it took you to give it permission to go was incredible. I have miscarried twice in the past before I had this child and although I wasn't on anything then, I still found ways to blame myself and it was awful. Now I have moved on and focused on my baby and my faith. Marina, you will be great and your baby will be healthy - no matter what - have faith.
