My surgery is Monday!!! My surgeons office called me yesterday, Friday, to tell me that the 2nd round of blood testing was showing something unusual, that pregnancy was "indeterminate". It is not possible that I'm pregnant, I'm 57 and post-menopausal but nevertheless the Surgeon made me contact my Gynecologist and have her send a letter explaining why. It turns out the hormones I was taking (stopped almost 4 weeks ago) were causing the unusual results in my blood work. I was so worried that my surgery was going to get postponed that I was freaking out. Once you have been on the liquid diet for almost 2 weeks and just want to get the surgery over with its hard to imagine having it postponed or cancelled. On top of that I choose this time of the year (holiday season) as it would cause the least amount of suspicion about why I needed two weeks off work. My boss is so nosy I know she will be giving me the third degree anyway when she sees me starting to loose weight.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Hormones taken once post menopausal can give some strange blood results. My copper and zinc levels are high from them.

OMW!!! If they EVER told me pregnancy was "indeterminate", shoot me now! HA! Of course, I'm 59 and had a full Hysto 10 years ago! LOL!

And I'm sure, Nosey, will still ask questions. Good luck and "May your days be merry and bright!!!!"

Truth. I had sime bloodwork. And I was pregnant. Heck no I wasn't.
