..so i just went to an OB-GYN and had a transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) -- the result?? i'm not pregnant by ultrasound! there was nothing in my uterus (when there should be a yolk sac already, see previous post) and nothing in my fallopian tubes. guess this is good news, hehe! but my doctor was also puzzled why i didn't have my period and why i tested positive in the pregnancy kit. she had 2 theories: one, i may have gotten pregnant (ie the sperm and egg met) but was spontaneously aborted by chromosomal abnormalities, etc, etc. thus, no fetus in my uterus. two, i had a false positive pregnancy test and i just had my FIRST ever missed period. it's just pure coincidence that they occurred together, oh well, hehe! all's well that ends well =)
i'll post my entire ultrasound result next time around.. so much for my nine-month journey to the unknown! LOL

after 2 pregnancy tests with just a faint pink line in the TEST area, we decided to have the 3rd test. no big surprise here -- still a faint pink line! i'm on week6 and supposedly my beta-hcg levels (which is what the test detects) should be more than enough to make the pink line verrrrry pink. so am i pregnant or what?? i have never missed a period (ever!) so with this plus a positive pregnancy test should mean a pregnancy right?? the question is, was the test really positive?? *very puzzled*
anyhow, i've been searching the internet and i found out that there are pregnancies that have low beta-hcg levels. and the sad thing is that most of these "low hcg level"-pregnancy fail and are spontaneously aborted. i definitely wouldn't want that.. our baby may be anunpleasant surprise but s/he is ours, our own flesh and blood to love and to care for. right now i'm really thinking of getting an ultrasound, just to get a visual of my uterus and other reproductive organs. and perhaps our first baby.. wouldn't that be great?? the picture on the left shows a 6-weeks old fetus with yolk sac via a transvaginal ultrasound (TVS). kewl huh??

well, the boyfriend took the news calmly (i even let him see the positive pregnancy kit!) but with skepticism. he relates that his co-worker was 3 months late and i may be just like her. hmmm.. is this a good or bad sign? you know, maybe he's just in a state of denial or something. and maybe would leave poor pregnant me behind, huhu! woe it is to be a pregnant woman! but then, who would not be in a denial state?? LOL! =) anyhow, we decided that i'll do another pregnancy test this week though i think an ultrasound would be much better (though expensive) as it will definitely tell if i'm pregnant or just delayed. what do you think?

after so many years of not-wanting to have a child, i'm finally pregnant! who would have thought?? well, many have said that i'd be the first to get pregnant (in our medical school batch) coz of the fact that i adamantly don't want to have a child and the fates don't want people to say "NO" to something. thus, the fates conspired for me to conceive! oh well, thank you fates! now i have a remembrance to the world, i just hope to god that my boyfriend will agree to keeping this baby.. im sure my parents would be ecstatic as they'd been wanting to have a grandchild for so long, lol =)
