Nervous

I am a little nervous! Since my surgery (almost 7 months out) my periods have gone from being 60 plus days to 30-32 days.  Well currently I am 3 days late (on day 35).  I don't FEEL pregnant and don't really have any symptoms.  I am not on birth control and hubby and I have done stuff unprotected like twice this month.  I do not track ovulation but I don't think it was during my fertile time.  I am nervous to take a test (plus we just got snow and are "stuck" inside since most places here are closed).  I have a 2.5 year old and we are currently fostering (and soon adopting) a 4 month old.  Ok I just had to vent I know they only way I will know for sure is to take a test but I just had to share!

I also have the Lap-Band and my periods magically regulated when I lost around 70 pounds. They used to be so random... there was no rhyme or reason to them. One time I only got three for the whole year.

My husband and I have always had unprotected sex (I am allergic to latex and don't believe in birth control) but we never got pregnant while I was obese. We were super careful and used the "withdrawal method." When we were ready to start trying, I had no idea when my fertile time was, so I used an ovulation prediction kit, and I got pregnant the first time we tried.

I didn't really have any pregnancy symptoms until I was about 7-8 weeks... and even then it was just that I was REALLY tired and meat suddenly grossed me out.

Keep us posted! Good luck.

Thanks ladies! Yeah my periods actually regulated like the month before I had surgery and is now pretty regular so that is why I am nervous.  I never really felt pregnant when I was with my son, I peed a lot and after finding out I would have off and on nausea but that was it.  I am tired but I think that partly from the holidays and dealing with a 2.5 year old and a 4 month old! he he I will keep everyone posted! I am debating on if I should say something to my husband or just buy a test and bring it up only if it is positive!

I'd get one and take it, and THEN tell him. No need to stress him out over something that might not even end up being an issue.

Yeah I don't think he would be stressed he wants another.  Why do women always have to be the one worrying about this stuff!? he he

I actually got pregnant 2 weeks after my WLS.....scary huh?  I'm now due in 2 weeks :)  Everything has went fine, no complications at all,  and I have continued to lose and for the past 8 weeks have maintained ( baby gaining weight not mom) so I'm sure I've really lost.  If you are Congrats. You will be fine
