The whole story of how this came out is so funny. Kevin and I were trying to get pregnant. I went to my OB, and she gave me a pregnancy test that was "negative" and said if I hadn't ovulated by day 18 that I wouldn't that month, and I hadn't any day at all according to the ovulation kit. So she said it was impossible. Well....I started getting really sick all the time. I was completely exhausted and had my thyroid checked, which was fine. It just got worse by the day until I couldn't stand it. I had an abnormal pap in May, so I started thinking something was really wrong. I was so sick, and was NOT pregnant.....so I finally went to my regular doctor. He felt so sorry for me and said he'd get to the bottom of it right away. I was so glad, as I was completely miserable! He ordered labs of all kinds and when he pushed down on my pelvic area, it hurt. He was concerned and ordered a sonogram for the following week. With that and the abnormal pap and all the symptoms I was having, I was sure it was cancer. And that's what he started looking for in my labs. Before the results of the lab were back, I went to have the sonogram. I was sick as a dog that day. I drank so much water my stomach felt like it was going to explode and it hurt so bad. And I was exhausted and sick to my stomach worse than ever that day. Throughout the sonogram, I didn't see much of the screen, but saw him measuring what I assumed were tumors! I just couldn't look! I felt so horrible. Then he listened to what I thought was blood flow. After he finally finished, he helped me down and apologized for how long it took and he felt so sorry for me! And he didn't breathe a word!!!! I left and couldn't go back to work because I just felt too bad. So I went home. I walked in and just started crying to Kevin and went to my bed and I just knew that I had cancer. Right after vomiting, which I really needed, my doctor called and said he had the result of my sonogram and that he couldn't wait till my follow up appt to tell me. I immediately thought he was going to tell me to go right to the hospital because I was full of cancer or something!! INSTEAD, he said "you're pregnant"! I said "what?!" Then he said, "with twins!" and I sat strait up in bed and said "what?!" He said, "That's why you're so sick, you're having morning sickness!". I was crying by now and said, What?!" That was all I could say!! Kevin was right there wondering what the heck he was saying and so I finally repeated his words and Kevin looked right up to God and said "Thank you, Thank you!!" as he started to cry! It was unreal! I just couldn't believe it. I was two months, so I had ovulated one week early....before I ever started the ovulation predictor kit! I went in for my follow up appt and all my labs were fine. I followed up again with my OB/Gyn on the abnormal pap, and everything was fine there, too! God has blessed me beyond belief!!!!!!!!!!!!! Instead of having cancer, I'm having twins! I'm thrilled! I'm a little over 3 months now and due in January and just can't wait! I'm doing everything right and thank God every day of my life for these unbelievable gifts he has entrusted to me!
