scare

Tuesday I had my 6 week check with Dr Broberg.  Becca watched the boys for me so I could go alone.  The visit went well and he said I am a good healer.  I had an IUD placed; that went super well, no plain or complications and off I went.  I picked up Zupas for me and Becca and while we were eating our lunch and visiting I got a call from Valley OB/GYN.  There had been a misunderstanding, one nurse thought the other nurse looked while that nurse thought the other one had...no one had  looked at the results from the pregnancy test...and it was positive... I was stunned!  She said it might be a faulty test, it may be that I have tissue still inside of me from the delivery or I may in fact be pregnant, I needed to come back into the office as soon as I could...my brain is going a million miles an hour now! Part of me is excited that I could be pregnant again, part of me is really not ready for that yet.  I did not want a DNC! Would they do that or give me a pill to contract the tissue out?  I called Nathan, he was thrilled that we might be pregnant again.  Becca watched the boys again.  On my way in I called Mom, tearing up as we talked.  She is such a huge support for me.

I re-took the pregnancy test and we waited.  I started to ask questions (ex. if I am pregnant and an IUD was just put in me could that cause a miscarriage, would the hormones hurt the baby, if it's tissue will I have a DNC, would that be in office or at the hospital??????) but then told myself to calm down and just get the test results, then go from there.  It was negative! I could go home, we were all clear, must have been a faulty test.

I went back to Becca's to pick up the boys and she had just put Harlow down for his nap, so I took a nap too.  Emotions can tucker you right out.  When I was still at Becca's house a few hours later I got another call from the dr office.  As soon as I saw the caller ID my brain started going again.  Sure enough it was the nurses again telling me she had waited a few more minutes and looked again and the test had turned positive.  They asked me to go to the hospital since the office was closing and get my blood work done.  Again...  I had Jessica Johnson watch Harlow this time and I took Kelton in with me.  When the technician called me back she commented on how cute Kelton was then asked how old he was.  "6 Weeks" and she just stopped, turned and looked at my paper work.  "Is this for a pregnancy test?"  I told her I think I preferred being pregnant over having tissue still there and she kindly said "oh no, take the tissue."  She had twins, they're hard and she thought this might be even harder than twins.  She was worried about the IUD being in me too.

She gave me my test number and the number to the Lab.  She told me to call them that evening.  They don't give you answers/a diagnosis but they will tell you the results.  So this tech. told me that if the number is anything less than 5 I am not pregnant nor have tissue remaining.  If it is a 5 or higher then I'll be in with the dr the next day.  I am glad she told me.  When I called that evening they said it was less than 2 - I slept much better that night knowing.  And it was confirmed the next day, Really Cleared this time.  3 dr visits later and my mind spinning nearly the entire day - What a Relief!!
