A brain aneurysm AND a BFP

michaeltrish · April 2009

Hello ladies! I've just returned from 3 not-so wonderful days at the hospital. As you recall, I was diagnosed with a very small brain aneurysm last week and then on Monday I got a BFP. I went to the ER because my headaches and symptoms had increased tremendously and I wanted to know for sure that it wasn't because the damn thing had ruptured. My blood work also confirmed the pregnancy. So now, I'm in the waiting stage because I'm high-risk for ectopic and chemical pgs. I plan to have my hormone levels tested tomorrow and again on Monday. What a memorable week this has been. Smile

Congrats on the pregnancy! ?How scary about the aneurysm, though. ?Is there anything they can do? ?Sorry, I'm a bit ignorant about the subject!

The aneurysm is tiny and is inoperable unless it grows, which is unlikely. From what I understand, at least 10% of the population has one this size and is unaware of it. Mine is not the reason for my headache issues from what the neurologists are saying. It's probably still something to do with my nose/sinus area.
