My Rainbow Baby Story
So I have two kids. 9 and 11. Always wanted more but the timing was always wrong. Finally felt like we were ready for a third so we began trying. I always considered myself pretty fertile. I mean with no effort at all we had those first two. So after three months of trying we get pregnant! Yay! Until two months later when we lose it. That was horrible. I've had friends and have known people who have had miscarriages and you always feel sad for them but you never really understand the pain until you go through it. The emotional toll it plays. The guilt that comes with it. So this was back in January.
We've been trying to conceive on our own. My husband did a sperm count and he's good. I went and had an HSG and the procedure was unsuccessful. So then the dr schedules a hysteroscopy. She believes maybe I have some scarring in my uterus prevent me from getting pregnant. (Past csections and D&C). So the day of the procedure they ask if I'm pregnant. Mind you I took a pregnancy test through them a week ago for my pre op. I'm like I mean we had sex once during ovulation but no im not pregnant. I ovulated four days before this procedure. I know I'm not pregnant because that's why I'm here. I can't get pregnant. So they have me go take a pregnancy test and of course, I'm not pregnant. So we do the procedure and everything is healthy. So now the dr wants to start me on fertility meds. Well now I've missed my period but that's normal because I had surgery and I know that screws up your cycle. Well let me take this here pregnancy test just cuz. Because i take pregnancy tests all the time. This is like my new hobby. So sure enough it comes back positive. I'm over the moon. I wake my husband up and show him. Then I said, I'm going to Walmart to buy some more. The poor guy was in such a deep sleep but the look on his face was, is this real, wait am I asleep, what's happening, haha.
The next day is my post op and the dr is supposed to start me on fertility meds. I tell the tech I'm pregnant. They have me do a urine test to make sure. So right before the dr comes in they tell her. I hear her go omg what?!?! Are you serious?!?! Then she opens the door and is just looking at me with this look of excitement. I mean I've been trying to contain the excitement because of what we've been through but the Dr just made me all happy. I mean her reaction was priceless. It's like someone told her SHE was pregnant lol. We talked about the dangers of the procedure. I know there's a risk there. I did read online that at four days it's still in the tube and hasn't made it to the uterus so it likely was not harmed. And if it were it wouldn't have stuck. There was no scarring so my uterus was healthy. There was very little spotting after the surgery so hopefully everything goes well. I'm trying to be excited but I'm still hesitant. I don't know why. I mean whether I'm excited or not, if I lose the baby, it's going to hurt just as bad. It's not going to be like I cry less or hurt less because, oh I wasn't that excited to begin with, kinda thing. Ugh ok. Thanks for reading if you made it to the end. Good luck with everyone's pregnancy. Hopefully we all make it to the end with our perfect little poopers 🤗
