I'm going in for a minor elective surgery on my jaw at the end of the month and they are going to be putting me under general anesthesia. It's elective because I don't need it, but it will relieve some pain for me. The doctor told me that I will need to take a pregnancy test beforehand to make sure I'm not pregnant. I was confused so I Googled it when I got home and discovered that most doctors will not put you under if you are pregnant, which makes sense to me.

Anyway, my husband and I have been having unprotected sex for over a year now, and no pregnancy yet :( I told him that I'm going to take a pregnancy test the day before the surgery just to double check to see if I'm pregnant or not (will be like 10dpo or close to that and my period is supposed to start 2 days after the surgery). I know it will be early, but I'm hoping it'll give me an accurate result.

I would rather be told that I am pregnant before driving the 3 hours there just to be rejected and have to drive 3 hours home. I don't have a closer hospital that is competent enough to do this surgery. I jokingly was talking to my husband about finding out that I am pregnant when I get there and he said "I don't know if I would be happy or frustrated that we drove all the way out there just to find that out."

I'm not going to stop having sex with my husband. He is finally excited about having a baby. If this is our month, then I will be ecstatic, and if not, then we will try again next month. I've had this jaw issue for close to 7 years now, so what's another year if I'm blessed with a beautiful healthy baby?
