Miracles happen!

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog! I am so excited about this amazing journey and hope you enjoy taking this journey with me. My name is Jacalyn Alice Trease and I am 26 years old. At 12 years old I was diagnosed with my first ovarian csyst and the beginning signs of endometriosis. The csyst was the size of an orange, thankfully my parents did not allow the doctors to remove my ovary as they initially wanted. Over the years, I had several more surgeries and the doctors discovered that the only remedy that controlled my csysts and the rapidly worsening endometriosis was Luperon and Depo Provera injections. The risk with these injections can be early onset menopause. But at the time was the only option.

Since I was a little girl all I have ever wanted was to be a mother, around three years ago doctors began telling me that I would only have children with the help of a fertility specialist, than almost 8 months ago my doctor told me I would most likely never have children and that I should probably look into a full hysterectomy. Needless to say I was devestated. I chose to ignore my doctor and hope that one day the fertility specialists would help me fulfill my dream.

Awhile ago I met the baby's father and we started dating. Around the middle of May I started to experience bouts of nausea, loss of appitite, and severe fatigue. Having other health problems I ignored the symptoms and figured they would go away. Well on June 2nd I woke up in the early morning with severe cramping and it occured to me that I should probably take a pregnancy test. The entire time getting the test and taking the test I believed it would come back negative. I was wrong. I took three tests and all three rapidly came back positive. I broke down in tears. I was ECSTATIC as well as shocked.

My amazing mom and I rushed to my doctor where I took a blood test, which confirmed that I was pregnant. I am now 14 weeks and beyond elated! I am savoring and loving every second of this pregnancy and cannot wait to meet this little one around January 13, 2011! My family and friends have been amazing, I could not imagine taking this journey with out them!
