A few weeks ago I went into the Dr.s office because I had been experiencing some pain and also having strange spotting throughout the month. The Doctor did an ultrasound and discovered that my Endometrial Lining was really thick and that could be a sign of cancer. She did a biopsy which was so incredibly painful! And then gave me a 3 month prescription for birth control to force my body to flush out the lining and told me to come back in 3 months to have a follow-up ultrasound.
With the birth control pills I had been having a lot of nausea and had been feeling exhausted and the longer I was on it the more nauseous I became.
Russell went out of town for a conference in Virginia so my Dad came to stay with Kennadee and I. Yesterday I woke up in severe pain in my abdomen and got up and used the bathroom several times to try to make it feel better but nothing helped. I was going to try to go to work anyways so I got all ready and then when I sat down to eat breakfast the pain was so much that I started vomiting. I was so miserable! I sat in my living room with the garbage can just being miserable. I decided not to go to work because I was so miserable. Luckily my dad was here to take Kennadee to school and be with me and take care of me. At around 8:30 I told my dad I needed him to take me to the urgent care. They got me in and brought me straight back to the room. The Dr. came in and checked my abdomen and did some tests and came to the conclusion that it must be my appendix so he ordered some blood drawn and had me take a urine sample and then he sent me to get an Ultrasound and CT. After the blood was drawn I went to the bathroom to do the urine sample and almost passed out! I got back in the wheelchair and was in so much pain that they gave me Demoral and Phenergen for the pain and the nausea that was able to help me calm down a bit. We headed to Ultrasound and had to wait a bit which was agonizing. When the Ultrasound tech guy came in he said, "If you were pregnant how far along would you be?" I thought that's a weird question and I responded, " I'm on birth control and suffer from infertility so if you find a baby in there I'm gonna give you a hug!" He gooped my belly and started looking around. After a minute he looks over at my dad and said, " See that? That's a gestational sack, and that's a baby!" I screamed and grabbed the Techs leg and said "I'm Pregnant??, I'm Pregnant?? I'M PREGNANT!!!!" Then I had my dad hand me my phone so I could call Russell to tell him the news. I said I'm Pregnant, He said What? I Said I'm Pregnant, He said What? I said I'M PREGNANT!!! Neither of us could believe it!! I even got to hear the heart beat, a strong 150 bps. Then the tech took lots of measurements and pictures. He found a couple of ovarian cysts and then went on to look for my appendix. Luckily it turned out to be normal so they ruled the pain to be caused from the cysts.
I took a few naps throughout the day yesterday and every time I woke up I looked at my Dad and he said "Yep, you're pregnant" It still hasn't sunken in completely but I am so excited and am praying my heart out that I carry the baby full term and that everything goes well!!
