Planning Pregnancy

Randy and I had been talking about trying to have a baby for about 9 months.  We knew it had to be after I graduated nursing school, January 2012.  So I went off of my birth control pills a few months prior to the "trying to conceive" timeline.  The earliest we could get pregnant would be April, to be due in January.  In addition, I was facing possible knee surgery.  We had approached the idea that if I got pregnant the surgery was obviously off, but if it didn't happen we would carry on with the surgery.  April came and went, and no baby.  So I signed myself up for surgery in May.  I didn't bother going back on my pills because a couple months post surgery we would start "trying" again.  Plus, it didn't happen in April so what makes me think it would happen in May.  On May 17th I went under the knife.  The very first thing they did in pre-op was a pregnancy test.  I even joked that I "passed that test".... which I did.  Surgery went well and I started on the bumpy road to recovery.  Later that month good 'ole Aunt Flo was a no show and since the surgery there had been no "action" in town.  Hmm... I thought to myself, "well I did just have surgery for the first time, and I have been on all kinds of meds.  She will show up in a week or so."  Nothing.  So after a week and a half late I took a pregnancy test, without telling Randy.  These 2 funny lines showed up on the test.  Hmm.... "that can't be right.  No, no, no, this is some effect from surgery."  And I pitched the test.  About a week later I started vomiting in the morning.... crap.  I told Randy I thought I was pregnant and he said "no you're not".  I told him to go out and get me a pregnancy test, he returned with 3.  I took one and handed him the results..... boy did I show him.  Positive.
