OMG!!! I'm PREGNANT
 

The doctors office confirmed today what I already knew. I took 2 tests on Sat. that were positive. When the nurse practitioner heard my story today she got chills. I am only at 4 weeks. I will talk to my ONC next Tuesday. He wanted me to wait 2 years before trying. I knew in my heart I did not want to wait. I have talked to many of you about the struggle I have of even thinking of bringing a child into the world (with a stage IIIC diagnosis). Well we went for it anyways. Before being diagnosed with BC we had been trying to have a baby for 4 years. At one point I went on fertility and I still did not ovulate. Without help I only ovulated 1 or 2 times a year. When the whole BC came up we could not even preserve eggs because I just would not ovulate. Well after my first A/C I started my period. It continued until mid way through Taxol. It came back 2 months after Taxol. I have been regular ever since. No doctor has been able to explain it. It is normally just the opposite. Last week when I was waiting for my period, I didn't even think pregnancy, I thought that me not having a period meant that my BC was back. Crazy how our brains go right to the negative. So either this is going to be the best story ever or a sad one that I have to make a choice about. Obviously, my biggest fear is that I have a reoccurance during pregnancy. I choose to take the positive route and hang on tight. One thing I do know is that CHEMOTHERAPY has given me something that I never thought was possible. A pregnancy at 37 years old when they said it would not happen. Were celebrating today!!!!!

Laurie, Reading your post gave me chills. Something so wonderful and positive coming out of months of devestation and despair. God is certainly smiling down on you. Many blessings to you and your husband!!!!

Dear Laurie

I am thrilled that you are bringing a new life into the world for you and your husband to love. Also for its 100s of Auntie's on this board to go through a much wanted and DESERVED pregnancy. Look forward - you will be helping us too as well. All through the months of pregnancy and all the birthdays too. This is so special for you and I hope you share all the milestones with your sisters. Your little one will sure have a ton of family to learn about now. It will sure be nice to give advice on how to help you relieve morning sickness versus chemo nausea!!!

Hugs and happiness

Amazing, wonderful, fantastic!!!!

What a wonderful gift! I am so happy for you--the joy you feel now will only continue to grow! We will celebrate with you all the way!

Laurie,

Fantastic news. Welcoming a new child to your family is certainly a source of inspiration for many of us on the board.

I agree with Sheila. Let's have a baby shower!! Hmmm...How can I e-mail a piece of cake with pastel blue and pink frosting?

Celebrate and know that many of us are celebrating with you!! Lori
