SURPRISE!!

Well, most of you already know the story, but I felt it was blog worthy so here goes! I was scheduled to have a complete hysterectomy on July 1st. I have been having a lot of hormonal problems especially lately and a lot of endometrial pain. I suffer from Poly cystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis. So my doctor decided that I have birthed 2 healthy children and it was time for me to get healthy. So we scheduled the surgery and I went in, reluctant and scared. So, they brought me back and had me pee in a cup, for routine tests. Then I went in and changed into my gown and got my pre-op blood drawn. The nurse came in and asked me if I was on any hormones. I told her no, then she said "Are you sure your not on any hormones that would cause a positive pregnancy test"? My jaw hit the floor and I said...noooo! So she said they would have the lab do a blood test. So the blood test came back positive, and if anyone has ever had to "try" to get pregnant they know that hgc levels start at 1 and double every 30.9 to 72 hours. My level was at 33,000 roughly so that shows its not a fresh pregnancy and that its a sticky bean! So, who goes in for a hysterectomy and comes out expecting a child you ask...well the one person in the family that does everything BASS AKWARDS!! ME!! We are ecstatic! Now, just to hold of these symptoms so I can spend more time at home than in the hospital dehydrated! Thanks for letting us share our story, love to all!
