Alright, I'm going to write this all down before I forget anything.
On Saturday morning I got my BFP. The weekend seemed to drag on forever because I was so anxious about the IUD and what was going on. I called my sister and best friend immediatly after testing postive (sister is 6 monthes pregnant and bf has a 1 year old boy). Jamie was still sleeping so after talking with both of them I went in to wake him up. My hands were shaking and I was really afraid of how he was going to react. We had not planned on having children for about another 3 years. I woke him up and told him "I know it's early and you don't have to get up right now but I have to show you something" and I handed him the test. He looked at it, didn't say a word and went out to smoke a cig. Needless to say the morning was a little tense in our house.
Later on that day I called my parents...they are beyond thrilled and have been 100% supportive. We also called Jamie's family..that is a different story. His mom didn't belive that I was actually pregnant she actally said to me "I think your hormones are just all messed up". To which my reply was "You do realize that it is next to impossible to get a false positive, right??" Well I think that his parents are starting to come around but his sister is completely on board and has been wonderful. She is already talking about buying diapers and onsies LOL!!
On Monday I asked Jamie to stay home because I had such a hard time with my IUD insertion that I was concered that taking it out would be the same way and I wouldn't be able to drive myself home. I went in to see the doctor at 4 and she had me take another pregnancy test and confirmed that yes indeed I am pregnant. When she went to take the IUD out she discovered that I had partially expelled the IUD. This is probably why I was able to become pregnant although it is possible that I got pregnant and that caused the IUD to expell..we will never know.
The next concern was that it was etopic (sp) pregnancy. My doctor took blood on Monday and wanted me to have more blood today. She called me today with the results of my first blood test and my beta was 9420 which she said was very good and that I didn't need to get a second blood draw unless I had already done it, which I had. She wanted me to come in for internal ultrasound at 2:30 today. So, I left work, again, and found out today that I am offically 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant due on May 28th...9 days after Jamie's birthday!
We are very excited although this was entirely unexecpted. My best friend said it best...there is a reason this baby has to be born...nothing is and accident!
Thanks so much for all your support and good wishes.
