The Positive

For reasons she has never been able to explain in the early hours of November 20th she grabbed a used pregnancy test and took it. It came up positive.

Though she was overjoyed when she woke up Sean, he was not willing to accept the results of a used test. They waited for nearly two hours till the Shoppers Drug Mart near their home opened. They bought a new test, took it home and the rest is history.

Trouble Brewing

Margaret has polycystic ovaries, a condition that had long been held in check by her taking birth control pills. Of course, she had stopped taking the pill to try and conceive - and so she starting having cysts again. An ultrasound done in November showed multiple cysts on each ovary and one on the uterus.

Reluctantly Margaret agreed with Sean that she would have to go back on the pill, and they would put off trying till this was back under control. As she already had an appointment booked with her doctor (to discuss fertility issues) it was decided that then she would ask for a new prescription.
