15 weeks and 5 days pregnant on 04 Dec 2015.
I had no idea up until this point. A tiny feeling that something was wrong with my body. I felt bloated and huge and overweight. I was hitting up the gym like a mad woman with step classes and Body Pump and Eliptical extravaganzas.
I cut out gluten and bread thinking that I was allergic to it. Took some laxatives thinking I was constipated. I tried to poop my baby out!
Then one day after a yoga class, I felt a huge bulge in my tummy and knew that I had a problem. I called the doctor and he just happened to have a cancelation in a couple of hours. Of course, I went into the doctor and explained in detail my situation.
He asked if I had tested for a pregnancy. Nope. Why? Which leads me to discuss the past events leading up to this situation. I haven't had a regular period since as long as I can remember. I have very little body fat, was an avid Crossfit Athlete and spend many moon traveling and living abroad. Which lead me to believe I was infertile.
And to top it all off I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome when I was 19. I had numerous operations to get cysts removed which I'm guessing was relatively successful.
I had a gyno appt a couple years ago and he said I probably will never have children. I accepted this.
When I went for a pap in June 2015 and they said it came back abnormal, and I was scheduled for another screening a couple months later with Cancer in my Uterus. They scheduled me for a LEEP at the beginning of Sept 2016 which was a painful procedure but had to be done. Then I was recommended to a specialist to get a hysterectomy before the Cancer decides to come back.
I went back to Dr. Bagdan again at the end of Oct for a check up and all the cancer was gone. My biopsy was sent to Victoria and they decided that I was going to be ok. Next thing you know I'm know 15 weeks and 5 days preggo. I was pregnant during this whole ordeal. If that's not a miracle then I don't know what is!
No deployment for me.
