(PR) got the shock of my life yesterday
I didn't mention to you guys but I have been having pain in what felt like my ovaries for the past month. It was the pain I normally get on the day I start, but I never started. I finally went to the OB because it was just getting annoying and I haven't had AF since November (while that has been nice I know it is not good to go that long without one).
I went and we thought it was my PCOS acting up and that body keeps wanting to gear up to start. We decided that I would go back on the metformin for about 3 months and hopefully by taking the metformin that would help me lose weight, ovulate and in turn regulate my cycles. He also was going to check my thyroid and other things to make sure no problems there. He wanted to do a urine sample and this is where the shock came.
I just got my 4 vials if blood drawn and he came in with 2 tests that were positive. He said he didn't want to get my hopes up just yet, but it was rare to get false positives. I called George because he wanted to do an internal ultrasound. Well we did the ultrasound and we found out that I am almost 7 weeks pregnant!!!
To say we were in shock is an understatement. I told the doctor from the beginning of my appointment with him that the fertility doctor said IVF was our best chance, but I hoped and prayed that just maybe God would bless us with a miracle. He asked if I thought I might he and I told him no because I took a test the week before the cruise and it wad negative, but I guess it didn't pick up yet.
I am still in shock and now I am noticing every little thing and I need to stop as it us in God's hands. My beta was high they said (don't have number) and progesterone was good, but I am going to take a pill 3 times a day. Heartbeat was 114. I go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound.
I am not telling many people until I feel I am out of the woods and I know you girls won't say anything. I still can't believe that this is happening. I have prayed and wished for a miracle and got it, but it still is hard to believe. Right now my EDD is 9/24, which is 2 days after my birthday
If you could keep us in your thoughts and prayers. My prayer is for a H&H baby and everything to be good I know I don't need to worry, but I am a little nervous and I don't need to be because everything looks fine.
Thank you ladies for being there for me and as I always say words can not express how much you guys mean to me.

Re: (PR) got the shock of my life yesterday
Heather - reading this post has me in tears because I am so darn happy to hear this news and SO SO happy for you and George. This is just some of the best news ever and no one deserves it more than you. I have been praying right along with you guys through everything and will continue to pray for a very happy and healthy 9 mos (well less than that now) for you and your little one.
So how are you feeling otherwise, besides the pain in your ovaries? Have you told your families yet?
Oh and I just have to say again....AHHHHHHH...SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!
I am SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY for you guys! I too am in tears! Sit back, relax, put your feet up. I'm almost 12wks along and I still have pains in my right ovary, and all is ok. Sadly, I have to take metformin until I hit 24 weeks, and progesterone for another 4-5 weeks due to pcos =( That metformin kicks my butt, blah!!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! T&P's as always to you
(((((hugs)))))
Heather, this is such wonderful news! I am so happy for you guys! I will tell you that you will not stop worrying, as much as you don't want to!
Hang in there and I am sure everything will work out according to gods plan.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Heather!!!!!!!!!
I didn't have a chance to check the board until just now, and I'm so excited for you!! I was seriously thinking about you on my way home from my RE appointment, and I was thinking that I really hope you're going to be one of those people who can later tell the story "We tried for x years and had lots of procedures and had given up trying fertility treatments and then got pg on our own."
I'm so frickin' excited!!!!!!!!
