The turning point came for me around 12-13 weeks. I was finally hopsitalized that week after losing 13 pounds in a week. We did all the usual anti nausea drugs (this was 1989, no Zofran yet) Ended up on a med called Thorazine which is used as a psychiatric drug normally, but has properties that help nausea. I finally felt more human around 16 weeks. AND yes I agree with you this is the worst sick in the world. I was so sick of throwing up I was in tears most of the time! Hang in there!
