Bumpy Start

I just got home from spending a week in the hospital. It all started with right sided abdominal pain that got worse as the days past. I was sure it was an ectopic pregnancy, but was thrilled to find out it was just a huge cyst that was twisting and causing all the pain.

I was admitted to the hospital for pain management and draining of the cyst. Normally they would just do a laparoscopy and fix the problem, but because I was newly pregnant they said it was too risky. Instead they stick a needle in your abdomen all the way to your ovary and aspirate the fluid out. It was INCREDIBLY painful. I yelled, cried, and had to be held down. Unfortunately the first time wasn't enough to make it go down so they had to do it again :( The second time they got a lot of fluid out and the rest is draining into my abdomen and will eventually be reabsorbed.

The only good thing that came from this was that they found a gestation sac and yolk sac in my uterus. I will go in on Wednesday and hopefully see a heartbeat. I just hope this was the only big hurdle I will have to face this pregnancy

Awwwww, how wonderful it is to see this word blown up :) I can't wait until I have a nice ultrasound picture to post!

I had my first beta today at 14dpo and it was 103 with a progesterone of 45. I have a repeat beta on Wednesday and I will have my first u/s July 1st or 2nd. Still sick, but at least I know my little ones are growing

BFP!!!!!!!!!!

Finally after 2 yrs TTC since my miscarriage(3yrs in total) I saw those 2 pink lines and the heavenly word "pregnant" when I POAS. Last Tuesday I had been really sick! Nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and occasionally diarrhea. I ended up in the hospital needing hydration and thought it was the stomach flu or food poisoning. Well this nausea and occasionally vomiting has continued everyday since.

I decided to POAS 9 dpo just after my trigger shot had disappeared. When I casually went to throw the test in the garbage I saw a hint of a second line. I was pretty sure it was a BFP, but I wanted a darker test to be absolutely sure. The next morning I was granted my wish and the lines were darker :) Unfortunately my DH is working out of state and I had to tell him the news over the phone. He kept giggling and it was like I could "hear" his smile through the phone.

I am nervous and crazy excited at the same time. On one hand I "feel" like everything is going to be just fine and that this will finally give us our baby(ies). On the other hand I have miscarried before and can't help but be apprehensive. I pray that God is finally blessing us with our miracle.

I will have my betas on Monday and Wednesday. As long as things go well I will have my first u/s the beginning of July :)

PLEASE let this work......... PLEASE!
