Hello everyone!

I have posted here once before but really need advice now. I have had an regular period for quite some time now (29 or 30 days always). Well yesturday my fiance asked me, have you gotten your period yet? I look at him weird and said no why. He asks me when I am going to get it so I look at the calendar and count and it shouldve been here by this morning. I felt nervous quickly because he took me on vacation early this month for our anniversary (I am on bcp and use condoms but I admitt that there was one night we forgot). I asked him why he questioned and he said I've been moody lately, quite hungry or queezy, and I had been complaining about constipation (I have been regular for over a month now, I go daily). Well with no signs..at all (I usually get loose bowels before tmi srry) of aunt flow by lunch time I took a pregnancy test my sister had lying around her house from 3 months ago. It popped up + almost immediately. I am terrfied cause I am scared I have just ruined my tool.

So my questions is.....is this test accurate? Do + signs pop up right away? Don't they take a little time to pop up, the box said one can show as early as 1 minute but I know this was before a minute. I am going to take another one I just bought when I have to pee again (prob wont be for hours) but I want to know what are the odds its right (the control line was fine)? Also, what do I do if I am...I'm hysterical right now.

ETA: I just took another test....looks like I'ma be a momma. Thank you everyone for your help. But now what do I do...I'm going to call my surgeon tomorrow. But besides that what else?

Yeah they generally don't give false positives.

Congrats, mom.  And you're a mom now so you can't call yourself retard anymore.  That's your future teenager's job.

As for your tool, when was your surgery?

I had surgery 3.5 months ago. May 5th to be exact. I know I shouldnt insult myself but I feel so dumb. I've put too much effort into this to ruin it (even though it would be for a good cause but still, I wasnt planning for this). Especially since this morning I finally hit my mini goal....199.5 lbs wonderland.

Please go out and buy a Clear Blue Easy or First Response. Second call your OB and ask for a blood test. BCP arent always as affective after surgery since we don't absorb everything.

Good Luck.

Did you ever get your period from the last time you posted thinking you may have gotten pregnant?  I'm thinking that maybe you are further along than you think and that's why you got such a quick positive on a pregnancy test. 

Even if you had what you thought was a normal period last month, maybe it really wasn't.  I'm just saying.   

At any rate, you need to call your Dr. immediately and inform them that you are pregnant and take it from there.  Obviously it's not the most ideal situation, but there's not much you can do at this point.  There have been several ladies on the board who have become pregnant extremely early out of surgery and have gone on to have happy healthy babies.

I did get my period from last time. Since then we have been extremely careful to avoid another scarelike that. I dont know what to do as I wasnt expecting this. I feel so dumb since after one scare I shouldve made absolutely positive not to let even 1 slip up happen again but we got so caught up in the weekend and the romance...and I'm jus a fool. I'm sorry to just rant.

After I take another one, if still positive I will call my surgeon. I am just scared if I am my baby will be born with problems.

I agree with Julie- Have you ever seen the show on TLC called "I didn't know I was pregnant"? Those woman thought they were having a regular period too....

It will all work out! Congrats-- it's ok to be scared but know that many woman here have gone through the same things. Take another test and call both your OB and Surgeon.

Good Luck!

I would say if the test says your positive I would try to see the Dr as soon as possible. You haven't ruined your tool but you now need to prepare to be able to feed a fetus and you and you don't eat that much yourself. Its not the end of the world its just a blessing in disguise. So call Dr make and appointment to confirm weather you are or your not so you can start planning ahead. You are not retarded just got caught up in the moment and your not the first person to get pregnant soon after surgery. You will be just fine.

Thank you and everyone for your kind words. I guess I am being a little hard on myself. Its not thend of the world...just a littel surprise. Many others have done this and had beautiful happy babys and so will I (with the good graces of God). And I def am pregnant cause I doubt two test of different brands could be wrong (I just took another one).
