Hi Everyone,

I have an incredible story to share.....but at the same time some questions to ask.

I am the happy mum of 3 children (8y, 4y and 2y). My husband had a vasectomy whilst I was about 6 months pregnant with my third bubby.

Recently when my usual period came - it wasn't so usual....light for about 3 days....strange! Then the bleeding really started ...... and continued.....and continued.

I got really sick of it at the 3 week mark, and went to see my doctor who suggested a whole barrage of very unimpressive possibilities.......cancer.....polyps......tumour. ....all ending with a hysterectomy. Now - here I am 32(!) - scared and can't see a specialist for about 4 weeks!

Doctor suggests - have some blood taken and checked.....and "Oh btw - chuck in a pregnancy test - just incase this is an ectopic". I thought this was ridiculous - as surely that would be very painful - and as I was not experiencing any pain.....i disregarded this blood test! Also - she ordered an ultrasound to measure the thickness of my uterus.

So - I turn up a few days later for the ultrasound......sonographer says - um.....there is a gestational sac! You can imagine how I felt about this.......INSTANT TEARS! A gestational sac with a heartbeat too!

So - my bleeding is still going.....at this stage for 25 days.....how can I have a viable pregnancy after all of that?

Doctor ordered immediate bedrest for 48-72 hours. During this time - I got serious...no - SERIOUS cramping (as severe as contractions) - and serious diahorrea! I thought - ok.....i am miscarrying.

Blood tests taken 4 days later - HCG's still within normal range.

Doctor now says - looks like pregnancy is continuing! Bleeding has stopped
Have to have another HCG measure on Friday to make sure levels are going up.

Ok - question time........
How many of you lovely ladies have fallen pregnant with a 'vasectomised' husband?
Could I have been carrying twins and lost one?
Could I still be losing this baby?
Has anyone else experienced bleeding for such a long time in first trimester?

Sorry - this has turned into quite an essay!

Many thanks for your help,
Alana
