Many Health Issues... Worried About Possible Pregnancy? Posted: 02-01-05 23:39pm
Hi everyone,
i'm new to this board so let me introduce
myself... I am 21 years old, and married
the love of my life in september of '03.
We currently do not have any children,
except for our 9 month old pomeranian
named mya. I have a few health problems
right now, that makes the possibility
(that I have) of being pregnant a little
scary. First of all I have itp, which is
where your blood platelets are low, and I
guess go lower for pregnant women and can
cause problems. My numbers aren't that
bad though, my obgyn said that they are
high enough to not even worry about when
that time came. But rencently, they
discovered through a annual pap that I
have abnormal cells and I am scheduled for
a 'cryo' or something like that? Where
they 'freeze' the bad cells off. I also
have a 5cm ovarian cyst that switches
sides regularly. Anyways, I was suppose
to have the cryo done jan 18th, and my
doc. Asked if I was sure I couldn't be
pregnant... At first I said yes, but then
realised I couldn't be 100% sure because
the weekend before we used the
'withdrawal' method. (which I know isn't
really a method, it was more.. Like a
'moment' thing. I am not on birth control
because I was taking ortho-tri and it made
me very sick.) my last period was around
dec 31st/jan 1st, and i'm always 28 days.
So, tomorrow would make it 5 or 6 days
late..... I am figuring that right,
right?? Anyways, i've been obsessing
about it every since my doctor asked if I
was 'sure'. They didn't do the cryo, and
i'm scheduled to have it done feb 8th now.
I've taken 4 preg. Tests and they've all
come back negative. Tomorrow i'm suppose
to go to my family doc and I think i'll
ask for a blood test, just to put my mind
at ease, whether yes or no. The only
'symptoms' i've had lately are very tired,
strange waves of naseua (sorry about
spelling), about 5 days after doing the
'deed' I had lots of clear discharge(more
then normal) for a few days, and last
saturday I felt as if I was getting my
period with uncomfortableness and cramping
(not bad though). I have been under quite
a bit of stress lately, and I think I
might be mentally tricking myself into
thinking i'm pregnant! It would be a
little sooner then my husband & I
would have liked, but it would still be a
blessing. However, those health problems
I have make me very worried! I wanted to
wait until they were , at least for the
most part taken care of. What does
everyone here think?? I would appreciate
any comments!!! Thanks everyone!! ----

Well, by now you will have had the blood
test and be sure. The cryo procedure
really shouldn't affect a pregnancy,
though.
