Miracles Do happen!

Here I sit and think when I was 16. I was rushed to the hospital. Hunched over with pain. Drs came into the room, and i was in agony! It was a huge cyst on my ovaries that busted. No pain med could touch it! About 5 hours later pain subsided. When I was 19, I went to my ObGyn with pain again. I was diagnosed with PCOS. The Dr told me that I will have it forever. There is no cure, just weightloss, and diet. to help with the side effects of it. He also told me I could not have kids, due to my PCOS and lack of fertility. I was devastated! I thought WOW whats the point of being a woman? WHY ME? So I went for a 2nd opinion. And that Dr told me the same thing, He said my ovaries were filled with cysts and that I could never produce healthy eggs. I cried. But over time, I accepted the fact that I would never be called MOM. I prayed to God a lot, and asked him to forgive me for being angry with him. I knew there was a reason for it. Over time I was ok with it. I helped my sister raise her kids like my own. When Jeremiah and I got engaged, he knew I couldn't have kids. I told him if he didn't want to marry me, I would be ok with it. I kept saying he should marry a woman who could bare his kids. But He stood by my side, and loved me, and said I DO! He stands next to me proud, and knowing i cant have kids, still loves me FOR ME!
Well here I write to tell say, Miracles happen! I am 8 weeks pregnant (on Monday!) I thought i was under a great deal of stress, and since I always have a late period bc of my PCOS, i didn't think much of it. So last Friday I took a pregnancy test, thinking I just wasted my money, And it was POSITIVE! Took another one in the morning..same thing! I almost passed out! I called my sister crying and she started crying bc she knew I couldn't have kids! But she had faith, so did my MOM! But for me, like I said I just accepted it.
I called my OB, the only OB who had faith in me also. He was a new one i only seen 3x, But kept telling me if you ever plan on having children tell me and we will try anything we can!
After 7 years with Jeremiah never Got prego! After we got married (Oct 4th 2008)BOOM! My last cycle was Sept 25th 2008! I still cant believe it. Never in my life I would be called MOM...MOM! Im high risk though bc of my PCOS, the Dr said I still have about a 50% chance of miscarry. But I just gotta take it easy. I still cant believe it! I need to breath, and let it all in. Even if I do miscarry, at least I know that I CAN get pregnant! I CAN!!!! But prayers help!!!
My due date is Jeremiah favorite holiday 4th Of July! Out of all days LOL

Crazy huh?

I hope you all have faith and hope.
Miracles do happen!

Congrats Girl!! I am so happy for you.. I am new to this board and your post was the first I seen. I know the feeling. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 19 and my husbadn and I struggled with the fact of not being able to have a baby for 7 years... But we believed God for a miracle and seeked out a wonderful fertility dr and after 2 years of treatment and one miscarriage we got our miracle baby and he is now 16 months old.  We want to try again but both agree that I need and want to be healthy so I am looking into the Bariatric surgery.  I have done a ton of research and am ready for it!  Anyways good luck, take it easy and I will keep you in my prayers, there is nothing more amazing then being pregnant and being called Mommy!~

Hugs

Congratulations!  BTW...having PCOS doesn't always make you immediately high risk for pregnancy.  I too have PCOS and have NOT been treated high risk.  Since you're already 8w along you just have 4 more weeks to 'be in the clear' for miscarriage.  Have they done any u/s?  Once you have a heartbeat...your risk of miscarriage (PCOS or not) goes down to <5%.

Also, I totally feel ya on the mom issue.  My husband and I have been together since I was 16 and after actively ttcing for 8 years (I was clomid & injection resistant) we gave up ttc and I had my WLS.  At 16 months post op we decided to not use any protection and were floored when my HPT came back positive the day my period was due.  I couldn't believe it, it finally happened!  Granted it took us 9 years 4 months to get it...but we got it!!  Never in a million years did I think I would be a mom either.  Now here I sit, 4+ years post op and almost due to deliver my 2nd...yep...2nd post op baby!  Who would have thought that I'd be a mom to 2? 

Anyway...congrats!!!

BTW - July babies rock!  My DD1 is a July baby...

Since my PCOS is so severe They put me HIGH RISK. ( My dr said that since my cysts are so bad, and my PCOS is so bad, it could attack the egg, thinking its a foreign object) I cant have a U/S until 2 more weeks to hear the Heartbeat. Its just so crazy. Never in a million years I would think to be prego! 
just nuts! 

Interesting.   I too had severe PCOS and never cycled before loosing my weight.  I was even resistant to Clomid and injections, anyway I guess it's all up to the doc.  I would think too that if your doc thinks your so high risk that they wouldn't wait until you're 10w to do your 1st u/s.  Are they going to keep thinking you high risk after you're into your 2nd trimester?  Regardless relax...enjoy your pregnancy and I hope you have yourself a healthy full term baby!

BTW - that crampiness if you're feeling it...completely normal...

Yeah I will be HIGH RISK thru out the whole PREGO! UGH! Since Ive had Cysts that actually BURST, that is a high concern for my OB.  He told me, that it would be better to do my U/S later bc If I WOULD miscarry, It would Most likely happen with-in the First 8 weeks, bc of my Cysts.I go every week to see him though, just to make sure my Blood levels and count is good.  Im on a REALLY HIGH DOSE of Vitamins, (UGH constipation suxs) lol, The only side"effect" right now i have is Nausea. I want to so bad to puke, But I cant! I have it 24/7! 

All I can say is God Bless you.
