A while back, my PAP results came back indicating abnormal cells. I was referred to a gynecologist at our local hospital for a follow-up diagnostic exam: colposcopy. Due to one thing and another, my first colposcopy exam was scheduled for the end of November 2011. Last fall, I took a Home Pregnancy Test on November 21, and got a positive result. At my colposcopy, the doctor took me on as one of her OB patients. A few months ago, I had my physical and at that time my family doctor asked me to follow up with the OB/GYN to determine if I should resume regular PAP tests or arrange for a follow-up colposcopy. I went to the office and got an appointment for mid-October. A few weeks ago, I got a call rescheduling for November 9. This morning, at my appointment, I told the doctor that there was a possibility that I am pregnant. She replied: “I was just thinking that; and hoping for you.” I haven’t had an opportunity to take a Home Pregnancy Test yet; but I have some reasons to suspect that we are expecting.

• My period was extremely irregular before I got pregnant with River; since the C-Section, it has regulated.
• Using the longest cycle I’ve had since May, my period was due on Wednesday of this week.
• I haven’t even had significant spotting yet.
• While I haven’t had sore breasts – the symptom that triggered me testing last fall, I have had other symptoms.
  1. stuffy nose, and occasional bleeding when I blow my nose
  2. feeling hungry – all the time – accompanied with frequent burping
  3. frequent urination
  4. mild, dull headache
  5. extreme exhaustion that comes on suddenly, even after sleeping a full night
  6. did I mention the no period AND no spotting?
