Success!!!

   So on June 16th I woke up and had a feeling, so I took a test and it came back POSITIVE!!! Who would have ever thought? We had taken a break from the fertility pills and low and behold we were successful. I think that was the first morning Chris was OK with me waking him up. Now came the hard part... later that day we had our cousin's graduation party to attend. We had decided long before that we were not going to plan to tell a soul until we were safely in the second trimester.

Luckily that day I had a good reason not to drink since I had to go back into work that night. Dodged a bullet there :) It was only going to get harder from there though. Come a few days later on June 20th I was woken up in the most amount of pain I had ever had. Now that is saying a lot since I am used to cysts rupturing and the adhesions from dealing with stage 3 endometriosis and then add in the fibromyalgia. Me and pain are sadly bff so when this woke me I again woke up Chris (he was less happy this time). 

When we arrived at CDH emergency room they fast tracked us because they were immediately thinking that it could be an ectopic pregnancy. They did blood and urine tests to confirm that I was indeed with child. Then I went to have an ultrasound to check how things were going. Even after the ultrasound they could not tell for sure if there were two implantaions one where it should be in the uterus and another in the fallopian tube. With it being so early they could not see a heart beat which would have given them some more answers. There were cysts on the ovaries still along with evidence that some had ruptured which had mostly been the culprit of my intense pain. Since there was nothing else for them to do for me at this time they sent me home after a few hours. Next step to follow up with my gynecological specialist who would do his own ultrasound to make the final decision on one or two implantaions.If only I knew that this would not be my only trip to the emergency room.

More to come...
