Looking for Advice from the LADIES!!

Good Morning. I hope you all had a great weekend! 
I really appreciate everyone for helping me through my recent stall which lasted 3 1/2 weeks! It finally broke, and this month I have been losing consistantly and I finally made it to ONEDERLAND. I am presently 198 and I should be happy, right? Well, not really. I am happy about my weight loss, but I am worried too. My period is currently 12 days late. I am NEVER-EVER late. My husband and I were being so careful because he just came home from deployment and we did not want a deployment baby. I am hoping, by some miracle, all the weight loss in the last month has made my period come late.... ??? I am not sure. My last period was Aug 20 and it was 2 days early. I have been early before so I didnt think anything of it. However, that would make my period due the 17th of this month. My period is never late. I get it , usually, every 28 days to the hour. I usually break out before my period (my skin is quite clear today), I am bloated (not today), and I have been nauseas for the last two days. I am really worried what that means for my baby being as though I am only 3 days shy of being 5 months out of surgery. This is not good. I would love the advice, as long as there is no hate or bashing- I really didn't plan it and my husband and I WERE being careful- we never had an "OOPS" in 10 years. Can a healthy baby be born to someone this short after WLS? Im not worried about my weight loss, I am more concerened with having a healthy baby (IF I am pregnant). If I do not get my period by Wednesday, I will know for sure, I am pregnant. I am going to probably go buy a test today if I have enough time in my busy schedule. If not, I might have to wait until tomorrow.
Thank you ladies! !

Michelle, go buy a test and find out.  Knowing is important.  Periods for many post-ops go haywire so it isn't a positive until you know for sure.  My surgery twin got pregnant at 3 months post-op (didn't think she could have kids) and went on to have a very healthy baby boy.  16 months later she had a baby girl, so being fertile Myrtle can happen for some.

Ok, IF you are pregnant you MUST communicate with your surgeon and a OB/GYN experienced with post-op patients.  You'll have to eat more often and focus on the baby being healthy.

I can appreciate how freaked out you are- that would be a normal reaction I'd think for anyone not planning a baby, but esp someone a few months out of surgery. I have known a few people to get pregnant during that time of rapid weight loss and hormones changing, and they've gone on to have healthy pregnancies- just are monitored more than other women to make sure the baby is on track with growing. So it can be done. Having said that, I would also imagine that this rapid weight loss could cause a delay in your period because everything is changing so quickly- its possible that its just that. Whatever the outcome is, I hope everything turns out okay.

very very possible your body is just being scewy

if not besides getting in asap for prenatal care go buy ketosis strips - they r near the blood sugar stuff at walmart - IF u r pg u must stay out of ketosis!!  right now chances r high u r in it as that is how we lose so much weight so fast

if u r ask for referal to diabetic educator ( possibly they will be in with endo maybe nut) - the diabetic educator is the one who helped me the most during my post op pg
obgyn of course
and nutition

yes people do have healthy babys post op - many with NO problems, a few extra vits n tests b/c u r so new

sorry about the typing I am typing one handed holding my post op baby LOL

Thank you , everyone, for your responses! I really hope it is my weight loss making my periods act up. It is just crazy because I have always been very precise, every 28 days, for the last 15 years. I am simply not late. EVER. & I never miss a period either. So this is just crazy to me. But I never lost so much weight before either. I know I really have lost a lot in the last month and a lot of inches too. I feel like I went down an entire size this month even though I only lost 10lbs. I didn't lose anything the month before, which was odd, and then this month it hit hard. So I thought that could be it. I blew it off for a few days and thought I was just off course. But now that it is almost 2 weeks late, that is just too much for me. I know my body all too well. I will hopefully find 5 minutes to go buy a test today but I have 2 kids I am babysitting today plus my 2 1/2 year old who has therapy and then I have to pick up my 6 year old from school. My day will not end until 8 when these kids are picked up and mine are in bed. Whew- what a day. LOL. I will let everyone know. Thank you for the help!!!!!!! I was really scared because my 6 year old was born at 37 weeks and was 4lbs, and my 2 1/2 year old was born at 34 weeks and weighed 3lbs. So I am scared of what could happen if I am pregnant now! 

Edit:  AW CRAPPPP!  This is my husband's ID...not mine.  Dang men never log out of the computer!!  I'm Kris M.  He's Chris M.
Still....sentiments are the same.  LOL!
Couple of things....
1) 10 pound loss CAN BE a whole size!  Congrats!
2)  this would not be a deployment baby, it would be a WLS baby CONGRATS!
3) lots of people in your shoes...lots of resources here!  Congrats(even if you're not...just congrats for having these resources!)
4) I was a PRE-op pg because of weightloss.  I was on my pre-op diet with my recently banded husband(went on a modified version of his post-op diet with him for convenience), and THE DAY my insurance approval letter came in the mail I found out I was pg and had to wait to get my band.  Flash forward a year and I had a beautiful baby and a lovely band too!

This will be ok either way.  Chances are real good your body is outta wack from the rapid weight loss but only a test will tell!

So, yeah...what I said that looks like he said but I said.  Tee hee hee!!

I can attest to WLS screwing with your hormones  I am menopausal and haven't had a period in FIVE YEARS and had one 2 weeks ago.  I asked my ob-gyn if this was normal and got "the look".  I am just hoping it was a freak thing because I was happy to be done with periods.

If you are pg then CONGRATULATIONS!

My gyn was suprised I was still having periods.  He told me that women that lose 100 pounds many times stop having periods.  I told him if only I could be so lucky.  Just take your test so that you will know.  If you are pregnant you will deal with it and the baby will be fine.  We are all here for you.  Lean on us.

LMFAO! Thank you Kris! & Chris! 
WLS baby- how funny! I never though of it that way. Well, I am glad the baby has a healthy chance!! This is a pic of my youngest, when he came home from the hosptial (yeah, the army let him come home weighing 3lbs 4oz ) http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo.php?pid=30794368&id= 1244748728  So I am nervous. I don't want to increase my chances of having a preemie anymore!
