 | Greetings and blessings, everyone!!! I've read through all the messages here, and wanted to input my current situation. I am (almost) 31 years old. Mother to a step-daughter (almost 11), daughter (almost 10) and a son (6 in Feb) who was born 25 wks premature. After the birth of my son (preemie due to premature rupture of membranes after sever bacterial vaginosis - NICU for 81 days - home oxygen for a year - multiple pneumonias - now doing fabulously - better than most f/t babies except lowered immune system) my doctor felt it would be best that we did not attempt to have any additional children (my husband and I) due to the fact that we were lucky I didn't die let alone my son (I was leaking fluid for approx 2 weeks before DRs discovered it - dummies). So, I reluctantly chose to have my tubes tied (I believe they were clipped), knowing the maternal side of me would over-take my intelligence and I'd try to have another one. This was 5 years ago last month.
Every month, my period is VERY VERY heavy (passing clots kind of heavy) along with sore breasts for over a week before hand along with during, horrendous cramping, terrible low backache, migraines, etc, etc (not to mention the mood swings).
This month, my period came more than a week late, lasted about 3 days, was very light, virtually no cramping at all, no backache, no migraine, no breast tenderness, lots of mood swings before, during, and still now a week later, and I've been nauseous nearly every night for the past 4 or 5 nights.
None of this is normal for my cycle at ALL. (I didn't have breast tenderness until later on with both my children.) Doing an HPT will be pointless for me. It didn't show up pregnant w/ my daughter on a urine until I was more than 4 months along. As it was, I was 9 days late before it showed up on a blood test!! LoL. (So there's the answer to the one who asked if you could be 4-5 months along and have an HPT be neg.)
I guess I don't really have any questions for anyone as far as my situation. I know what I need to do. I just have to actually go do it and am kind of scared. Because on top of the concern over ectopic pregnancy, there's the almost certainty that I'll be put on complete bedrest after the last time around and fear of not have the wonderful end result that we've had with our son. On the other hand, I'd be SO happy, as I wasn't truly ready to have that tubal done, and I've had a pretty good case of depression ever since. (Still have crying spells over it now and then.)
So, there's my story!!! I hope everyone is well, and am very interested in hearing if anyone knows if Diana ended up being pregnant or not!!!
And Zeekreyah, how is your pregnancy going? You must be almost there now!!! |
