Surprise...We're Pregnant!
And yes this was a BIG surprise!
I went into the doctor today for my 12 week ultrasound appointment only to find out that I'm really only 9 1/2 weeks pregnant! The funny part about this is I've known for the last 6 weeks that I was pregnant. It's really a blessing in disguise that I've known for so long, we were able to get the IUD out safely without a miscarriage and everything has looked great since. We did however find out some very discouraging news today. I don't have a Corpus Luteum cyst that is essential in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, this cyst produces the hormones that keeps the baby alive and going until about 12 weeks. I suppose this is another blessing to find this out now rather than later. The doctor said I am still high risk for a miscarriage, she told me she could prescribe me some hormones to help, the down side is it will make me sicker (as if I need that). Hopefully all will go well. There was a very strong heart beat today and seeing this sweet baby inside moving was what I had been looking forward to for the last few weeks. Knowing all this will truly make this whole experience harder if we loose the baby. I pray that we won't.
Currently my due date is September 24th.
