I have one child, age 9, perfect health. I had two miscarriages in 2001 both after only TTC for one month. Started seeing a RE in November of 2001 and after a couple of study cycles started Gonal F in March to thicken my lining and mature an egg. All went extremely well and I had three small immature folly's on the left side and one mature folly on the right side. Husband gave me the hcg shot on March 14. Blood test confirmed pregnancy on March 25, but on Thursday, March 28, I started spotting and having some pain on my right side. It was a strange pain - not cramping but more like squeezing. This got progessively worse throughout the day and doc ended up calling in Darvocet to ease the pain (he thought it was probably a cyst bursting on the right ovary). By midnight I had passed out due to the pain and was in emergency surgery by Friday at 10:00 a.m. due to torsion (I lost the right ovary and tube).

Well, I am now 8 weeks 5 days pregnant and we saw a beautiful heartbeat last week at 7 weeks 4 days! It's truly a miracle. Here's my concern... During my 6-day stay in the hospital I was given darvocet, vicodin, amoxil because I had developed an infection and was running a fever, and I was on a morphine drip in addition to whatever was given to me during the surgery itself to knock me out. Because I was on all of these heavy drugs during the early part of my pregnancy do I have an increased risk of birth defects? And are there tests above the regular ultrasound which can prepare my husband and I for these problems?
