Introduction.... Crazy reason I'm here.. Long
MamaCoffin

Hello everyone!
I'm Jen. 30. Mother to two little girls. L, 4, and V, 19 months. I was active here while pregnant with my oldest.
My husband and I just bought a house and we close next Wednesday!
I had a paragard put in after V was born because we had no intention of more children anywhere in the near future. Friday the 2nd I started to experience typical symptoms of onset menstruation. Sore breasts, cramping, slight moodiness, and tiredness. Fast forward to Thursday the 8th... In the midst of packing and dealing with preparing to move I realized aunt flo still hadn't made an appearance. It seemed a little strange because I have had regular cycles since my period came back. I messaged my husband and asked him if he thought I was crazy (at least, more so than normal... Let's be honest... It was a loaded question). I added up all of my symptoms and for a moment thought I could be pregnant. Then I though "absolutely not... No way. I'm crazy!". We went out to dinner that night and picked up a test on the way home. We both expected it to be negative but thought it would bring peace of mind.
It was positive.
Holy crap!
I called my ob first thing Friday morning and they had me come in immediately. He was expecting to have to fish out and iud that day. A quick vaginal exam showed no signs of the strings. They sent me back for a vaginal ultrasound and searched for a good 30 minutes. No sign! At some point in the last few months my body expelled this thing and I had no clue. My drs best bet is due to the fact that I had regular (and heavy) periods that I expelled it during a cycle and flushed it away with a tampon. I didn't notice any bleeding or cramping caused by it because of obvious reasons.
The ultrasound showed no signs of ectopic pregnancy but they couldn't see much in the uterus. They did some betas (578 Friday... Still waiting for the results from today) to make sure everything is going as it should.. But they believe it's a healthy very early pregnancy.
Based on my lmp I should be just over 5 weeks.
I'm still in shock. Talk about timing. Lesson learned here? Always check the strings!!! (Even though he said no one ever actually does). I thought these stories were made up. Now I'm living it.
I have to admit I'm getting excited about the idea of 3 babies. I consider myself so lucky to even get this chance, even in the circumstances. I look forward to getting to know you all!
Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months!
