Subject: Re: What's wrong with me?
OK, Something too WEIRD is happening here... Everyone has read my
depressing email below. I thank each one of you for your words of
advice!! Now, I have something else, ok, on 8-20 I had to have an
emergency surgery on my tailbone (ouch, I know), they did the blood
test, and both dr. and anestheia (sp?) were told negative. (Well,
should be, haven't had sex since I tried one month of Chlomid ((1 month
ago)) and I didn't even respond to that.) Since then we have given up
to let my body clean out so-to-say. Anyways, my dr. did the surgery and
then yesterday (1 week later) had an appointment with him and he said I
was doing good, sent me on my way... Then today, for some WEIRD reason,
I called my home to check my messages, and there was one from my dr.
regarding my blood work. I called right away. He said they were told
the tests were negative, but for some WEIRD reason he felt like checking
my records an hour ago, and VIOLA!! It said the blood work was positive.
(But, nothing he did harmed any fetus that MIGHT be there). So, of
course I screamed, and was half way between yeah right, and YES!! So,
I called my mom, sounds funny, but she ran straight here with a
pregnancy test (I couldn't just leave work, I work alone) and the line
showed up (not very dark at all) but it showed up!!!! Now, I'm so
confused... How come all the blood tests when I finished the Chlomid
came out negative, why did this one show up positive?? Why did the dr.
check my records?? Why did I call home?? It's really eary feeling...
Then, what's really weird is that this morning I called my mother from
work almost in tears with a pain (another to add to my pain) that I have
never felt. It almost felt like needles were coming out of my boob
(sounds gross, I know). Well, it went away. But, my mom said, maybe.
And all my husband says is, I figured you were. But, I STILL DON"T
THINK I AM!!!!! What are your thoughts???
