Almost 3 Months Post-op and Surprise...

So after constant nausea, pure exhaustion again, and smelling this awful smell in my house that noone else can smell I decided to take a test to be safe... I never, ever, in a million years expected a positive test. We've used protection and I had a doctor's appointment on Monday to get on the pill or have an IUD placed again.

Tomorrow is our 9th wedding anniversary so I will be finding a way to break the news to hubby then... but I don't want him telling a lot of people because I'm scared. I'm terrified of what my surgeon will say... terrified of what our families will think.. and terrified at ending up with a loss. I figure I am about 6.5 weeks pregnant at the time.

Advice, suggestions, tips, etc? Please not negative comments... like I said, we were preventing, but it happened anyhow.

We had a d&c 1.5 weeks after this post. We had 2 ultrasounds and were diagnosed with a blighted ovum or false pregnancy. The heartbreak was tremendous and it's thrown my body out of whack. I've struggled with getting back on track with my eating and weight loss too. Praying we get to try again for a healthy pregnancy soon!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have lost 2 babies since being sleeved in July '14. One early mc in January '15 and just recently had a stillborn son in September, I was 31 weeks. Bryson was perfect in every way, but got tangled in his cord and died from it getting wrapped very tightly around his abdomen. We have now had 4 losses and have no living children. Some days it's so hard to go on. I got this surgery to help with getting pregnant, which it did, but I still struggle to maintain any pregnancy(and dh and I have tested normal for evening except I have low progesterone which is managed with a prescription). My heart goes out to you, cuz is a hard struggle losing a pregnancy.

I haven't had the heart, until now, to share that I miscarried @ 11weeks on November 5th. We were so devastated! I feel all your pain mommas! I'm young and we will try again but I lost my sweet baby and will never know him/her.
