We have been actively trying for almost 3 years. February 2010 I had develop some sort of asthma that all my doctor's could not figure out why I was wheezing, out of breath, and just literally gasping for air. 2 months of tests still everything negative. I had came in for an urgent appointment at the point where they saw me the same day that I called. April 9 I was asked to take a blood/urine test and a chest x-ray to see what is wrong with my lungs. At first the x-ray tech asked if there was a possibility if I was pregnant and of course without thinking I said I don't think so but she insisted on me taking a blood/urine test first. So I did and I waited for about 10 minutes, just waiting, then the lab tech came up to me and said "Could you go back to your doctor, she would like to speak to you." I was utterly confused "did they find something wrong in my blood test?" "Did they finally find something to solve my weird asthma?" I hope so. So I was led to a waiting room for the doctor and one of her nurses came and said "Having you been taking any prenatal vitamins?" I thought to myself "why the heck would you ask me that if I came in for a respiratory problem" She says "Ma'am you're pregnant." My jaw dropped and tears came falling down my cheek. I said two things "Are you sure?" and "Can I give you a hug" I was so excited but also felt so cautious. First they established my EDD which was 11/16/2010. Then prenatal vitamins were ordered so I had to stick around another 20 mins for the order to come through the pharmacy. As I walked to the pharmacy, I thanked God, my mother-in-law and my husbands grandparents. I couldn't stop smiling I tried calling my husband but he was passed out asleep which he just came home from 10pm-8am shift the night before so he wouldn't have heard the phone. I couldn't wait to come home and share the news with my husband.
When I got home, I couldn't figure out how to tell him or if I should wait until dinner time. I couldn't contain myself, so I woke him up and said "You are going to be a daddy." His eyes got so big and asks "are you joking? its not April fool's anymore" I told him no I am not joking. He tells me "take a pregnancy test and I want to watch" I said "the doctor said I am pregnant and you don't believe her?" I did completely understood why he was like that first he was really tired and couldn't really comprehend everything and two we have been tying for so long and a lot of disappointment and death had surrounded us. His mother had passed away 10/16/2010, his paternal grandmother passed away 12/27/09. His maternal grandmother had passed away 02/2009 and maternal grandfather on 2/04. He has dealt with so many things that having this pregnancy was the first true blessing we had in a long time.
It just so happened that I was on my 2nd round of clomid and provera this year. I had taken provera and clomid throughout last year but no more than 3 times consecutively with clomid. I hadn't gotten my period and I called my Gyn 2 days before I found out I was pregnant and I let her know that I hadn't gotten my period which was odd because once I took provera and finish my 10day pills I would get my period in 4-5 days and it had been about 2 weeks already. So nurse told me to wait another week take a test and report to her either way and take it from there. Since I was having respiratory problems I went a week before I was suppose to take my pregnancy test I really never thought about being pregnant just because of all the negative tests that I took before.
That day also marked the week that my husband was going away for 3.5 months to Virginia. We had the opportunity to go to a baby class that was required before seeing an OB. It was the only class/appointment my husband could ever go to while he was away.
