Pregnancy Info HOME

Well, I was in an ROP cla__s with Harold. We really didn't do much in that cla__s so we were just walking around the campus. I felt really sick and threw up. It's pretty rare for me to throw up so I knew something was up. I stopped to think "When was the last time I got my period?" I couldn't remember so I asked Harold to get me a test. That weekend we walked down to the drug store, bought vitamin water, a chocolate bar and a pregnancy test. The people who worked at the store were being lame and wouldn't let me use their bathroom, so I went next door to some Sushi place or something like that, and used their bathroom. The box came with two tests, so I took the first one, and 30 seconds later I decided I did it wrong for some reason. I took the other test, waited the full minute, and it said "Pregnant." I don't think I really believed it at the time. I showed it to Harold and he didn't say anything for like 2 hours and when he finally did it was something like "Are you hungry?" So I still don't even know how he felt about it haha. I don't think my pregnancy really sunk in until I was about 18 weeks and felt her kick for the first time. I cried my heart out, hugged my belly and was really, really happy and proud of myself.

Lol I love these.. but I didn't get my period yet, but I was feeling alll funky! I went to use the bathroom, I sat down and noticed my body was all hot. I was a little weirded out. So I asked Jeff to buy me a box. He was a little hesitant because he didn't want to see ANOTHER negative, but he went anyways. So he comes back, I go to the bathroom, pee in a cup, dip the stick in, and I stared. As soon as it came out with 2 lines I Nearly p__sed myself and did the other test. Also positive. I came out holding one in my hand and said "you're gonna be a daddy again!" And he was like "Really??" then demanded to see it lol it was sweet.

well i had spotting 6days after i ovulated so we kind of thought maybe i was i went to the docs at 9dpo to have a beta bloodtest and then the next day i was sick in the morning and really tired so i took a cheap pregnancy test and got the faintest line ever! so we didnt know wether we were just hoping it was there or wether it was there! so i took another one in the morning and it was the same then the docs rang me and said my test came back at0 24 and 25 was positive so they had to do another one! we still didnt beleive it until the doc rang a couple days later saying my level was 824!! and i was pregnant!! then i creid and was like omg we,re going to have a baby!! what do i do lol! and then tonie started talking to my belly!! it was so cute!

super long post incoming lol wow let's see. i was on my 3rd day of clomid because i thought i had already had my period and was sitting in my computer room watching recordings of family guy and saw this episode of superman using his xray vision on lois lane. turns out she was pregnant too =P anyway, i felt this warm squishiness in my panties and thought "holy cow am i ovulating already?" because i had the trigger shot a few weeks before and never saw a positive, even after the shot. so being pregnant wasn't even in my mind. so i grab an opk test (i bought 50 online) and peed in the cup and dipped the test strip. it turned positive before the test had finished saturating and i thought "omg better wake the hubby! i'm fertile (and romantic, eh? lol)" and then i remembered from this pee on a stick website that being pregnant can also make a super dark fast positive on an opk. so out loud i say "oh no!" and grab a pregnancy test from the dollar store and used the same urine i had collected and it came out positive. i call my mother and say "mom i'm pregnant". she laughs and says "haha who's this?" and when i told her it was me (she thought it was my older sister) she said "ok wait now what now?" so she's on her way to take me to walmart to buy a first response and i run into the bedroom (it's 5am mind you) and say "mat?" *he sits up* "what's wrong??" "i'm pregnant" "what? how did that happen??!!" now remember, he and i thought i had already had a period, so we didn't think that i could be pregnant, so i tell him i'm off to walmart to buy a test and tell him to go back to sleep as he's got a job interview the next morning. go me, right? lol. so i get the tests and come back home and take the first one and it's positive immediately. he asks if it is and i tell him yes and then call my mother to let her know. then i wait until the morning and take the other and he and i watch it turn positive together. so i call my doctor and let them know and they have me come in for a blood test that's positive and tell me to keep my ultrasound appointment for the next day. so i go to that and we see the sac but no baby. the tech says it's ok because it's still early yet so she says she'll see me back in two weeks to make sure the sac is growing and that she can see a baby the next time. can do! i get up to go to the bathroom to clean up (gotta love internal sonos) and when i sit down i just start pouring blood. i'm cramping like crazy and pa__sing tissue and blood and i go "uhhh i'm bleeding?" she has me stand up and she looks in the toilet and runs out of the room. i'm sitting there and my husband is so quiet. i thought he had left. she comes back in and asks him if i was still bleeding and he told her yes and she hits her desk and says "dammit!". so they have me go to an exam room and in the 15 minutes i wait to see the doctor, i have to get up 6 or 7 more times to bleed and cramp and pa__s tissue. the doc comes in and does a pelvic exam and tells me "yep, lots of fresh blood. you've miscarried". poor mat is stunned, but i didn't see a baby or a heart or anything, so i was honestly ok. the doc tells me i'll bleed for a few more days and then start a period after about a week. and two weeks later, i'm to see her again so she can check to make sure everything finished on it's own. ok, no problemo. mat takes me to a restaurant after the doctor and i use the bathroom and bleed one last time. then it all stops. mat hugs me and i cry a few times because i felt like i could never give him the baby he dreamed of having and the two weeks pa__sed. the doc wasn't monitoring my hcg levels, so i took it upon myself to buy pregnancy tests to make sure the positives faded away, which they hadn't, but should have by the two week mark. so two weeks later, i'm in the doctor's office and i tell my doc that i still had heartburn, still had strong positives, and was peeing more often. she sends me off for blood work to check my hcg levels and tells me to call back in an hour. i call back and they said it still wasn't ready and to wait another hour. i call back after another hour and they say their machines are broken and to give them another hour. so i give them that last hour and the girl says "i lost your results. let me put you on hold". when she comes back on she says "ok teresa? we need you to come in for another sono" "is everything ok?" "yep, just need to see something. your levels were a little high" "oh ok, how high?" "wait, i've lost them again" *turns out she didn't want to tell me because she knew i knew what the numbers meant* "ok i found them. they're 19,500" mat from the driver seat "19,000!!!!" "ok, we'll be right in" mat asks me what that means and i tell him those are the levels of a pregnant woman, but not to get his hopes up as i might have had tissue left over. so we go and i lay on the u/s table and the tech starts the exam again. all i hear is her mumbling and saying "uh huh" every once in a while. i ask her what everything is and she points at the screen. "this is your baby" *i grab mat's hand and point at the screen* "what's that?" "that would be the heartbeat" *squeeze!!* so we get a cutie picture of our little 6 week old miracle baby and we're sent beaming into an exam room. my doc walks in and smiles at me and says "never trust a uterus. that's why i don't do d&c's so quickly". i can't really remember the rest because it was stuff about progesterone cream and stuff like that but i'm starving at this point and so we go to burger king. now mat's parents are overseas in australia so he messages his mother and tells her to call his cell phone. it's like 3am over there at the time. she calls and asks what's wrong and he tells her i'm still pregnant. she breaks down and has to give the phone to his father and the sound of his mother breaking down causes him to break down too so he's crying telling his dad i'm still pregnant (i'm starting to tear up right now while typing this lol) and seeing him cry is making me start to cry and these two state troopers are watching us until they hear him talk about babies and heartbeats and go inside. so our reaction was up, then down, then up again lol. and it all ended in a blubberfest outside of our burger king. sorry that was so long! someday i'm going to write a book because that was a miracle. there's no better description for it. and now i'm off to cry lol cuz i'm all weepy today.

Oh honey, you don't have to be pregnant to be weepy over that story!!! I'm all weepy now. That was frigging beautiful. I'm sorry that was sooo sweet, and magical, it was like a ttc cinderella story!!! God I was having such a c___ppy day, and reading that just gave me all my hope back. *SIGHS*

=P sorry if it made you tear up. i would have to say my life has been pretty much perfect since i met mat and what happened to us couldn't have happened any better, i'd say.

Teddy I gotta say that made me tear up.. Jeff was looking at me and said "what's wrong" and I just HAD to tell him.. he told me that is an amazing story.. so beautiful.

aww ty addy =) and jeff too ^^

you are very welcome.. :)

Teddy- what a miracle story! Howd yu handle those 2 weeks you thought you had lost her?

The reason i took a test: I had been pregnant 3 times and it seemed all me n Ryan had to do was look at each other and i got pregnant. Me n my best friend had plans to go to fearfest at kings island. Which is a huge amus____nt park turned scary at Hallween time. So i took a test before i went to ride rollarcoasters and such. Obviously that test was positive. Reaction: I said "no way" then cried. I was shocked and devestated. My previous pregnancies ended in miscarriage and i was told id never carry a baby full term. I was so mad at myself for getting pregnant again even though we had taken every step to prevent it. I knew there was no way i could handle another loss of a child. But i went through the motions. I scheduled my OB exam and went prepared for the worst news. Which i got. My OB said my uterus wasnt enlarged and it most likely a viable pregnancy. He sent me over for an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed a yolk sac and no baby. I was told i was once again headed for a miscarriage. I was sent home to wait it out and was to return 2 weeks later for a D&C. When i went back i had a last minute ultrasound before the procedure and there on the screen was my baby, beating heart and all!! Long story short, i spent the next 7 months terrified something was going to happen. Especially after i almost lost her again at 26 weeks. I had my last miscarriage on June 13, 2006. My healthy baby girl was born June 13, 2007!!

*meant most likely WASNT a viable pregnancy

Aww newbaby that's sweet too!!!

when i found out i was pregnant with dante I had just had a mc 2 weeks prior I had s_x once inbetween then with a condom. i wasnt feeling well and i had what seemed like a stomach flu. pepto bismol wasnt helping so I decided to go to my ob to make sure there were no problems from the mc....Never even kinda thought i was pregnant> i peed in my cup went back to the room and was just waiting for her to come in and tell me i needed another D&C> she walked in and said "well its positive' I said what was/ she said the pregnancy test silly! I flipped out at her yelling and screaming. YOU TOLD ME I MISCARRIED!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH???" she was like calm down this is deffinatly a different pregnancy. she was worried that It may have been ovarian cancer or cyst because i got pregnant with a condom so she told me to not even tel my dh til I got the blood test back. i couldnt keep somthing like that from him so of course i told him. i was at work on the 6th of july 2004, at12pm on the dot she called me I answered everyone at work was waiting because they knew (the rest of my family didnt but work did lol) they were standing around me and so i went down stairs so i wouldnt feel so pressured. The dr said well you ready for the results/ I said of course! she said remember how when you had the mc you hormon levels started at 500 and kept going down/ i said yes> she said your hormon levels are now in the millions! congrats you are having a baby. i was jumping up and down and everyone was staring at me. she said I want you in first thing tomorrow for a u/s and to run some more blood work up because your bp was high and you are anemic so you need to be on iron tablets...i went back upstairs and everyone was staring at me waiting for me to say somthing and i couldnt talk i just walked over and sat down. when i sat down i started to smile and i was shaking so everyone instantly knew it was good new they all came over hugged me and then they started pulling healthy foods out of their lunch boxes that they agreed to bring in as a joke asuming it was going to be good news.....then i told hubby over the phone because i couldnt wait to get home to tell him and he was estatic. he said 'he is going to look just like you' we knew we were going to have a boy from day one>

Zaidens story makes me feel like a bad mom.....we had been trying to get pregnant with no success. we then decided that maybe it was a sign that it wasnt the right time so we stopped trying. we were going on x mas break at school it was our last day of cla__s, so my cla__s and the teachers all went to the bar to have a few drinks.....after one shot and 2 beers I was wasted (first time i have ever blacked out from drinking) couldnt drive home my cla__smate had to take me home and he even made sure my car made it home too. the next night i was racking my brain trying to figure out why i got so drunk so fast...then that night i just got the urge to take a test i just knew i had to. so i did and it was positive. well dh and i were fighting cause he was mad that i went out lost my phone and didnt call him (cant blame him) so we werent fighting but we werent really talking. so i came out of the bathroom crying and he said whats wrong? I said im pregnant and we are suppose to be happy about it and im afraid you wont be..lol...then he said aww those hormones are already kicking in how could i poissibly not be happy about it!........lol the end

newbaby: well, when we thought we had lost her, i was still over the moon about the fact that i *could* get pregnant. and that was the kick in the pants i needed to keep my hopes up and not give up and i told my doctor "well let's get this over with because now that i know i can do it, next time i will and it will stick!". and my husband is an absolute angel. if i didn't have him, i seriously probably wouldn't be here. my life was total doodoo before i met him. and being that he's my exact opposite, he's very relaxed and finds the positives in everything. so as we sat in the exam room we talked about how "well now we know we can do it" and i got an "i told you so" from him lol. so by concentrating on the positives, we were totally psyched about the next month's try and it helped us through that time. that and a lot of prayer lol. but that's just how we are =P to each their own and all. we still cried though. sometimes together, sometimes apart, but when i needed to, he just let me and that was a big help and when he needed to, i'd...well...sit on his lap and hug him because he's a whole foot taller so holding him is a bit tough lol. i guess you could call it a 2 week hug that we ended up having =)
