Pregnant? Alittle TMI but need advice...

Hi all! I had gastric bypass on May 7, 2009, and i've struggled with normal cycles and stuff for yeras, never really menstrated on my own except with medication.

I am down 125 lbs since February and I'm six months post op.

About a month and a half ago my doctor put me on a low dose of birth control to start me having normal cycles. I started bleeding three days into takeing it and didn't stop for five weeks. I ended up in the emergency room at one point slightly anemic and lightheaded. THey then put me on Provera for 21 days to stop the bleeding and then after the 21 days have what they called "a medication induced DNC" to clean everything out and start over.

The 21 days ended on November 14th, I have not started bleeding at all and haven't had a period since.

During the last month my husband and I haven't been careful with a second method of birth control. We havne't used birth control prior to my surgery for seven years and I've never been pregnant.

Well for the last couple of weeks off an on I've been feeling nauseious at random times, sometimes when I'm eating or out of the blue, I've kind of written it off as due to the surgery.
I've also been lightheaded when I stand up or move around a lot which has only been happening the last couple of weeks.

I took a pregnancy test on Saturday the 28th and it was negative, so I put the thought out of my head..... until....

Last night I got home and went to change and when I took my bra off my breats hurt so much, my nipples were very senstive and they ached most of the evening (I have never exeperienced this before even with periods)

Also the last four days I've had really mucousy clear discharge it large amounts that it not something I've ever really experienced either.

I'm wondering what people think I should do, take another test? Go to the Doctor? I do and don't want to be pregnant, it's too early since surgery, but at the same time I've thought for so long I wouldn't be able to have children, that it would be such a blessing.

What did other people feel when they found out? Early symptoms?

Thanks
Jenn

I'd say it's possible you could be pg. but I also get lots of discharge and have sore nipples when I ovulate which could be it as well.  I'd test again and see what happens and call your doc if you are still without answers so if you are pg. you can be monitored closely.  Best of luck!

I would take another test if you want to be sure.  But it just may be that the provera got your on track and maybe you are actually ovulating (which I don't think you've done at least not regularly).  Good luck, I'll be thinking about ya!!

i'm way too old and been way too long for me to even give advice, if your concerned you need to call Dr.  good luck, BTW... would this be your first pregnancy?

Thanks guys for the advice. I called my doc and they want me to test again and go from there in the morning... I'll keep you guys posted.

Yes this would be my first.

I think that the discharge and sore breasts may be due to ovulation.  I know many women get the clear egg white type mucus around that time.  Definitely call your doctor to be safe, whether it's pregnancy or ovulation - either one is a good sign!  Best of luck and keep us posted!

Good luck to you!   Hope it all works out the way you'd like it to!

My vote is ovulation.  Which is a great sign.  Make sure you use protection now just incase so you don't get pregnant if you want to wait a while.  Good luck Jenn.  Are you coming to the support group on Saturday.  I would love to see you!!!!!

OK, what's the morning update?

Okay ladies, Thank you for all your help and information and support! That's why I love this forum!

I talked to my doctor's office yesterday, they said to take a pregnancy test this morning and if it's negative to wait a week and see if my period starts and then re-test again. If it was positive then to call them obviously.

So I took a test this morning... it was NEGATIVE. I'm not pregnant according to the test. I'm still having many of the same symptoms, but I was thinking about what a couple of you have said and I've never really had normal cycles on my own, maybe my body is finally doing what it is supposed to....   I am alittle freaked out because the whole "medication induced dnc" hasn't happened like he thought it should.

So I must admit I'm alittle disappointed, I know health wise it's good that I'm not. But I'm just alittle disappointed..... I guess I let myself hope a little.

Thanks!
