Pregnant then banded

[weightogo 2]

Hi,

I got banded just over 2 weeks, I've also had PCOS for about 10 years, so fertility has been zilch.

I know that I am a couple or so weeks late with my period so decided to do a test today.

I did 2, and they are both positive. God knows how this could have happened (apart from the obvious lol) because I can't get pregnant.

I must have already been pregnant when I had my band, this has worried me somewhat after having a GA and x rays etc

I'm in a long term loving relationship and I havent told him yet, hell Ive only know for an hour! But I know he doesnt want children of his own, he gets on great with my 12 yr old and his 3 neices/nephews he adores and vice versa.

I'm terrified. And I dont know what to do. I'm semi convinced the 2 tests must be wrong, but I'm a scientist by trade, and I know they are correct.

Weightogo,

Did they do a preg test on you before you went in for surgery? I think it's standard practice.

They definitely should have done a test before surgery. I had one prior to surgery even though I KNEW I couldn't be pregnant. That doesn't make sense. Have you had sex since surgery? If you have PCOS, do you skip periods anyway? If you have had sex since surgery, maybe the pregnancy is extremely recent. I am grasping at straws, but you should definitely call your obgyn and get in asap. You need to know how pregnant you are and then go from there.

Hey all, no I wasnt tested before the surgery, we were all asked if we could be pregnant. We all said no, I have PCOS so I couldnt possibly be pregnant. And I didn't think I was at all.

Yes I have had sex since surgery, but I havent had a period since end of Feb so that would equate to around 7 weeks gestation, going by the first day of my last period. I don't normally skips periods, they tend to vary though.

We dont have such a thing as an OBGYN to go see (I'm in the UK), we have to go through the general doctors surgery, the pregnancy has to be confirmed and you go for there. I called yesterday but they can't fit me in yet.
