CRUEL experience

Valerie

A little background: me and my husband have been trying to conceive for over two years. Went through all the tests awhile ago and found my tubes are deformed and I have endometriosis. Was told I would most likely need <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> to conceive and just met with the fertility clinic to get more info to start the procedure process in June.

Now yesterday I had hernia repair surgery. The CNA that took my blood pressure and all that also did a pregnancy test. She didn't say anything about it and I naturally figured it was negative (knowing my history) without a second thought. The anesthesiologist and the the operating nurse came in, prepped me for the surgery, and I was good to go. Then the DR came in and said...we can't do surgery today, your pregnancy test came back positive! I started crying, my husband was super excited, and we were in shock and over the moon. I have never been so happy in my life! So after discussing our options the doc said we should do a second test just to make sure. I went to the BR to give the urine sample, and when I came back they all had a sad/concerned look on their face. "We're sorry..but while you were gone we checked with the CNA and she said your original test was negative, she entered it into the computer wrong."

DEVASTATED was an understatement. I feel like God was playing a cruel joke on me. Out of ALL patients, she had to screw that up on US? I ended up having the surgery but spent all day crying about the mental anguish this situation caused..forget about the physical pain! 😢 I keep replaying the 10 mins of pure excitement I had yesterday to find out I was pregnant.
