A Women's Issue, Please Help.

Okay, so next week (9/11/07) is my scheduled RNY. I am ready and everything is going well except for one thing. I AM LATE!!

 

I have PCOS and have been as early as 15 days or as late as 31 days, but I have NEVER missed my period. I have taken 4 pregnancy tests and they are all negative. Not to get to personal or descriptive, but yesterday (32 days) I spotted for about an hour and that was it.

 

My appointment with my PCP is Tuesday so I will of course have her do blood work, but to be perfectly honest, I AM FREAKING OUT!!!

 

I have always wanted a baby and this is part of the reason why I am having the surgery. I was resolved to wait about 2 years so that I can have the WLS and then try. If I am pregnant this would be bitter sweet. I guess I am putting this out there because I can’t sleep and do not know what to do with myself. Tuesday can not get here fast enough!!

 

Thanks for listening out there. It really helps. Lauren

dont freak out just yet......nerves can stop or bring on your period... and pregnancy tests today are pretty accurate.........if it turns out that you are pregnant then thats gods will and you have no choice you cant mess with the big man!!!!! i hope it all turns out in your favor ........keep us posted and have a great holiday weekend or whats left of it

Thank you! I agree, it's just funny that this would happen now. Either way, WLS or a Baby, they are both wonderful things and I will come out a winner either way. Dont't know why we are up soo early but I am glad you are. Enjoy this lovely day.

Morning Lauren, Stacy's absolutely correct...stress is a pretty powerful thing.  It could be that you're late or might not get a period this month.  I know I hadn't had one in 2 years due to my BC, a Mirina IUD.  Since surgery I've had it or at least spotting, monthly.  I know whatever happens on Tuesday with your labs will be life altering (having the surgery or having a baby), things always happen for a reason.  Best wishes to you and I hope whatever it is you want as a result, is the one you get!

Muah

Thanks Cheri! It is amazing how are bodies can react to things going on in life. Thank you for the well wishes and sound advice. At this point I will be happy with whatever God gives me, a new healthy body or a new healthy baby!  Enjoy your day!

Agreed!  You have a wonderful day as well!

*~*Blessed Be*~*

Lauren, Wow, you must be really stressed out about this right now. I have to agree with everyone else and say that stress does weird things to the body, including throwing off your menstual cycle. 

Everything happens for a reason. If it is meant for you to have a baby before the WLS then that's what will happen.  Please keep us informed. Hugs, Lisa

Lauren,  I just remembered that we also had a pregnancy test on Thursday at PST which was negative or they wouldn't have done the chest x-ray. So, you actually had 5 tests! Hang in there! Lisa

Just calm down. Everything will work out just fine. Either way will be a blessing. I love your way of thinking BTW. Take Care~~ Diane

Thank you fall or your support during my very major and very public emotional outburst  . I never thought I would say this, but I am happy to report that I am not pregnant at this moment in time.  It is amazing what stress can do to you. Thanks again all. I will go and hide my head  as I feel a touch foolish!  On another note, I had my surgical clearance with my PCP today and all went well. All systems ago for next week and I can not wait to have this behind me and get losin'!
