Lurker, need some advice/questions

I had my surgery a little over a year ago.  At my last appointment with my surgeon, he gave me the go ahead to start ttc in February, which was fine for my fiance and I.  I have been on birth control since my surgery.  My period was supposed to start a couple of days ago.  I decided to take a EPT Digital test today just to see.  Well it said, "Pregnant."  I am so nervous.  How likely is it that it's a false positive?  I just can't believe with being on birth control that this happened.  I am happy since I have wanted another child for so long.  I have an 11 year old daughter from a previous marriage and when I was with her father, we tried for years after she was born to have another one.  But I was very overweight and wasn't ovulating.  I, in some ways, had this surgery to be able to have another child but I am worried since I am not at goal even thought I weigh less than I did when I got prenant with my daughter.  This would be the first child for my fiance and I together.  He has 2 children from a previous relationship also.  I have not told him yet.  I am going to give it a few days and test again just to be sure.

Thanks

Most likely not a false positive.  Congrats momma.

Thank you!!  Your daugther is totally cute.  I would love to have another girl.

I would say take another in the morning for that certainty. Most likely not false. False Negatives are more common than false Positives.

As far as the not being at goal weight, I was not either. I have gained about 18-20lbs so far and I am freaking out. I am mentally going to have a breakdown, but have to remind myself that it is for the little guy growing inside of me and that I am not just GAINING my weight back.

Yea I will for sure take one in the morning when I wake up to confirm. I am really worried about gaining weight. I have worked so hard to get where I am but like you, I will just have to remember that the weigt gain is for a reason. Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think digitals Lie!!!  Congrats

Your Pregnant sweetie!!! Congrats.

when i took a HPT I was asking the same question "could it be a false positive?" and my doctors response...."there is no such thing". (i have heard differently) but I WAS SOOOO PREGNANT!

Your body will do what it needs to to sustain the pregnancy.  Trust in your body to do what it needs to do and help it out in every way you can.  Remember vitamins, fluids, and eat right.  You WILL gain a little bit of weight.  (I personally got pregnant at 9 months post op @ 193 lbs, and when i delivered Claudia i weighed 218)  I lost every bit of my baby weight shortly after she was born, here she is 3 months old and i weigh 190 today. This was my goal weight, and Im actually very comfortable at this weight. (I would love not having the floppy skin....but....cant win them all right?)

CONGRATULATIONS on being pregnant!!!  Its wonderful to be a mommy (as you already know) Just have faith and pray and know everything will be just fine!!

God Bless!

Well I woke up about 20 minutes ago (5am) and had to go to the bathroom so I decided to test again and it came back a BFP. I guess it's safe to say that I am pregnant. EDD 06/24/2011. Thanks to all that replied.
