Pregnant?!

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is well. I haven't been around for quite a while due to being really busy at work, and just generally getting back into routine and "normal life" after my op.

Everything has been going great, hit a two-week stall but finally came out the other side this morning which is a relief. I am now down 30lb! Hooray!

I have noticed one thing though, which is that I have been feeling nauseous a lot over the past week. Like actually urging at the slightest thing, especially in the morning when trying to take my tablets. I had no trouble whatsoever with feeling sick until now, and as I am almost 8 weeks out I would have thought it would have affected me before now if it was going to.

Then tonight I realised that my period is three days late...

Now I realise that a) it isnt' VERY late yet, and I am probably worrying for nothing, B) weight loss can affect your periods, c) I have been on the pill and therefore highly unlikely that I am pregnant.

But I still can't help worrying. I wish it wasn't so late in the evening so I could go and buy a test to put my mind at rest. Nowhere sells them at this time of night here.

My body has been through a lot over the last couple of months, so I wouldn't be surprised if my hormones are totally messed up. Hy head tells me that my period will start soon and I am being silly, there is nothing to worry about.... but my heart feels like it is going to go pop.

I know that no-one can tell me the answer, but I just needed to type it out. Somehow it helps!

Thanks for listening. Cross your fingers for me! xx

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)

I hope you're taking some time for yourself!

My periods were completely messed up during the losing phase and I was on a low-dose birth control. I didn't even have a period for a couple of months.

Fingers crossed for you!

If I were you I would get a test ASAP just to know for sure...

Got a test... it was negative... period started about ten minutes later. Typical!

I am trying not to admit that I'm ever so slightly disappointed, I was getting used to the idea! Oh well, so soon out of surgery it is for the best. Can't really afford a family just now anyhow.

So I'm a bit :( and a bit :)

lol xx

Awww, hugs. I know it doesn't help, but probably giving your body more time to heal will end up with a healthier pregnancy in the future. It's okay to feel sad...hang in there!

They stressed to me before I left the hospital and at my post op not to get pregant, so it's probably a good thing. It gives you time to heal properly :). Hugs

I'm 5 weeks out tomorrow and I got my period about 2 -3 weeks before my surgery... And when I was due to get my first cycle post op I was late... I was sorta scared and worried that I might be pregnant so I too took a test... Negative TG! But about 5 days after that my period started ... Now today its full on and I'm like ugh go away lol!.....
