Trying to Get Pregnant

See if you can figure THIS out

I haven't posted here in a while, because we took a TTC break due to the fact that back in April, I scheduled a uterine surgery. For today.

Had a period on 4/21 and then started a new cycle on 5/21. Had a normal period.

Had my pre-op appt on 5/28, where she performed an u/s.

Today I peed in a cup and had blood drawn. I am on the gurney with my husband, waiting to for the anesthsiologist to come in and talk to me about going under and start my IV. My nurse comes in and says, we need to do another blood draw, because your urine test came back positive for pregnancy.

 BUHWA?!

They take more blood, we wait. My doctor comes in and says, "So what's going on?" The nurse comes in and my beta is #1044. I am pregnant.

Surgery canceled. Appt with my doctor on Monday for an u/s and another blood draw (if necessary).

But how could I be pregnant enough to get a + urine test and blood test on CD16? When I was charting, my average O date was 19-21.

So I think either I am really like barely pregnant, or I got pregnant last cycle, miscarried and still had enough hormone in my system to get + tests.

So this is crazy, right? I was on the gurney, ready to go. Now I'm at home, have peed on a stick (2 lines immediately), and am just trying to focus on the fact that today I am pregnant. Maybe I won't be tomorrow. But today, I am.

  • I think a congrats is in order!!! Crazy story but congrats!! It's possible you are further along than you think and that the when you had your last cycle you were actually pregnant.  My sister had bleeding for the first 8 - 10 weeks of her pregnancy and now she's 25 weeks pregnant and everything is great.  She said it was heavier bleeding at about the time she would have gotten a period.  Who knows!

  • Hanna that's insane. I'm praying for you that this is it. Wow, just wow.
  • HOLY CRAP! CONGRATULATIONS. I guess that you are further along according to betas and the fact that dark lines appeared. Maybe 5/21 was some type of early PG bleeding?
  • Wow. That is quite the story. Holy cow.

    So then...congrats! Wow. Just wow.

    Thank you IVF for our little miracles!!
  • CONGRATULATIONS!  Maybe you are one of those people who continue to get their period while pregnant!  1044 is a nice beta so good-luck!
  • Yes, wow is about the only word I can think of. I kept saying "That's impossible. Impossible!" and the nurse pointed to my husband adn said, "Well, has that guy been around?"

    The only thing making me think I am just newly pregnant is that if I'd gotten pg my 4/21 cycle, wouldn't they have see _something_ on the u/s on 5/28?

    what the nurse said cracked me up.

  • WOW!  Congratulations!
  • Oh my! Congrats! 
  • Congrats!! That is an awesome story! I hope you have a great pg!

    Not necessarily if you o 19-21.   If you o'd cd 21, 5/28 would only be 4 weeks 2 days.  GL!!!

  • WOW! Congrats. H&H9!

    Oh my gosh!!!  What a wonderful surprise! I know that is not how you imagined you'd find out whatsoever, so I can see how it is hard to believe. Congrats!
  • if you o'ed later in the 4/21 cycle and the "period" around 5/21 could've been a fluke I don't think it's surprising that they didn't see anything on 5/28.

    Holy Crap, Congrats!!!

    Was the surgery necessary? can it wait until after you have the baby?

  • WOW!!! Congrats....I will be praying that everything is fine!!!!

  • wow. OMG wow. Congrats!!! holy crap. this is the craziest story ever! So excited for you!
  • Holy moly that's crazy. But congrats! FWIW, I had a period pretty much right on schedule and it wasn't until afterwards that I got my BFP. I had an u/s a day later and the tech could barely see anything, I think she only found what looked like a sac because she was trying so hard. So, it is possible that the doc didn't see anything because it was so tiny (and he wasn't really expecting anything).

    That is good to hear. Thank you!

    Well, the surgery was to remove fibroids, which we thought were what was keeping me from getting pg. So.. who knows?! I guess we take it one day at a time, and if I am still pregnant with a sticky baby and she/he makes it 9 months, I guess we'll do nothing. If something else happens, surgery will likely be back on the table.

    I am still in shock!

    If I ovulated on CD20 last cycle, then the u/s would've been on 18DPO. And the tech definitely wasn't looking for a baby, so I can see how she would've missed it.

    Praying that we see a h/b on Monday. I'll keep you guys posted too!

    Not necessarily. Depending on implantation timing, you could have been only 4 weeks or so along (not much to see).

    Congrats!!
