So as the post says, I am 7 weeks post op, had surgery back on March 28. I've had a very good recovery, no issues what so ever. I had an appointment with doc and ask for b/c on the 26th of April, as normal they tested for pregnancy and it was negative so they recommended I get an IUD and wait for my period so they can easily place it, I was scheduled for the following week to get the IUD placed but I had to reschedule to the following week because my period did not come. So the appt comes around, still no period but that day I was extremely nauseated and my breast we're sore for what felt like 3 weeks straight. I was also dizzy, when I would get up, I would get light headed. I was tested again, waited 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins and I just KNEW something was up. Never in a million years did I think I would be pregnant. After 7 yes without a pregnancy, after 3 miscarriages and 10 yrs of trying, never did I think it would happen, I had given up hope and was Ok with never being a mom. To my surprise and my doctor's, I was pregnant. My doctor did not believe it either when the nurse told her considering my history. Now it's only been 6 days since I've found out and I'm scheduled for a follow up this Monday, I have an ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday and am waiting for a call back from the hospital for the specialist OB, I am considered high risk and they said I need to be monitored closely. I had blood work done and the HCG was over 3k which made me feel good, knowing what I've experienced in my past with those numbers. I was on a regimen of antibiotics for H Pylori post op but I have stopped taking those meds along with the Prilosec since finding out. Per my surgeons office and doc, I should not take them. I am anxious to find out if everything is ok, like I said I feel good and I am eating well also but in the back of my mind, I will ALWAYS have that fear of miscarrying again. However I know God is great and he would not give more than you can take, he would not have blessed me with this, he works in mysterious ways and I am very thankful for my blessings. I will keep updating as I go along as I want to share my experience with others since there is not much knowledge out there with pregnancy post op, especially so soon!
