Well, I have to admit that being almost 14 weeks along I am finally getting excited. For some reason my past experiences have made it difficult for me to get excited about things easily. After hearing the heartbeat for the first time this past Tuesday, I finally started to allow myself to be happy & relax more.
However, my excitement was interrupted at 8:30 this morning. The phone rang & it was the doctor that I had seen Tuesday. She was calling to let me know that my Chlamydia culture had come back positive. After finding out what to do next, I hung up the phone & just cried. My husband is out in the field & I had to call my Family Readiness Group leader to call to get him in from the field so that I could talk to him. I will honestly say that this is the first man I have been with that I am 100% sure that he is faithful. When I was waiting for him to call me back I was thinking through it all & had pretty much figured out it was something that I had contracted before he & I met. Either that or he had contracted it from his ex wife while he had been home for R&R the prior deployment. Either way- I had no doubt in my mind that I could still trust him. I'd bet my life on it.
I talked to him & I then sat around until my appointment to get medication. Atleast this is something that can be treated & shouldn't hurt the baby as long as it is. Once I get to the dr the lady proceeds to tell me that she hates to be the bearer of bad news & that more than likely I contracted the disease since I was pregnant. Its tough enough going through something and keeping a strong belief in the other person regardless but its even harder when someone is telling you that you're wrong in trusting them.
To make the rest of the evening short- I got my medicine, came home, took it, talked to the hubby, & went to sleep. Now I am awake again and have been reading up on Chlamydia. After reading a couple pages I found where Chlamydia can lay dormant in women for a while. There is even a case or two where it laid dormant for like 4 years.
What I'm trying to figure out is why a person would break a person down even more than they are, even though I could've had this STD before meeting him? She said that just because I was able to get pregnant that she was pretty sure that this was a new thing. & she stuck to the story even after I told her that I had miscarried October of last year before concieving this baby....
So yeah- Its been a crappy day. But I still trust my husband. Maybe I'm crazy but honestly: we've been the best since I've been pregnant than ever before.
Any opinions or weigh-ins? I'm mainly venting but would still lvoe to hear from you all..
