T&P for My Cousin

--halo-- · March 2013

Be forewarned, this is a crazy and long story.

My poor cousin. She has had a lot of reproductive troubles in the past. Cysts, miscarriages, operations, a removed ovary, etc. She has a 3yo DD who was kind of their miracle baby. She's been afraid to TTC because she had hyperemesis when she was pregnant and puked, no joke, 15-20x a day.

Her H finally convinced her to TTC last summer, and she's had a MC and a chemical pregnancy since. Around the time I got pregnant, she was having some crazy symptoms that mimicked pregnancy and also got some really faint positives on Wonfos (?), but the lines never got darker. I encouraged her to go get checked out for another cyst, so she she went and had an ultrasound.

Not 10 minutes after she left the clinic her Doctor had called her 4 times trying to reach her to say that she had an enormous blood clot AND a cyst and to rush to the nearest hospital. Scared to death, she went, at some point in time she spoke to a nurse who said she would might have to have her only remaining ovary removed and would never be able to have her own children unless she saved some eggs. Then they drew some blood and sent her home to wait for the results that should come asap. (I am confused why they only drew blood, and what that could tell them, but what do I know?)

Well, they never called. So she had to speak to an on call nurse, who basically knew nothing and told her she couldn't be sure, but it looked like she only had a small blood cyst that would probably absorb on its own and be fine. (I have no idea how she could tell this from the blood test results. Maybe she was looking at the US results?) Anyway, so they jerked her around like crazy and then said she'd -probably- be fine. Ugh.

Then, today she texts me 3 pictures of positive pregnancy tests. Like, 2 super obvious, and a digital positive. Then she calls and screams "I'M PREGNANT!!!" And I'm just like, but wait, are you really pregnant? Is this because of the cyst, or what? Or should I be screaming excited too? I'm so confused.

Apparently she has an appointment with a different doctor tomorrow to get it all figured out. A different doctor because her original one is quitting! lol

Anyway, I just feel bad for her because she's been jerked around so much and I'm afraid that her doctor will tell her she's got a false positive or something. I think she could use some T&P, so I thank you if you are offering them and if you made it through this crazy story. lol

Halo! I just want to cry for her! I don't know if you remember me posting about girl A and girl b with the crazy twin situation but girl B kept claiming she was pregnant over and over. Apparently she had a cyst that kept giving her positive tests and pre
