I'm nearly 11 months post-op.  I suffered with PCOS before weight loss but have had almost a year of pretty normal periods now. My fiancé and I haven't necessarily been trying to get pregnant but we haven't been vigilant about preventing it.  We were thinking it would be best to wait until after our May wedding to really try.  I'm 40 so I didn't want to really work at preventing it either in the interest of time.  Anyway, my period is now 6 days late.  It was due to start Thursday. I haven't had any hint of spotting.  I have had tender breasts but that's not totally abnormal for me. My fiancé swears I have complained about nausea more and that my areolas are "a lot more red" than usual.  I took a home pregnancy test Sunday morning and yesterday evening and both were negative. I've read that some women are weeks late with their period before they test positive but that seems odd to me.  I'm not sure what to think and it's driving me insane.  Any thoughts from those who've gone through pregnancy after surgery and/or over 40?

Thursday when I rechecked levels it was 867 I go back tomorrow to recheck hoping everything is Ok :)  

First trimester sucks! I would definitely concentrate on taking all your vitamins and a prenatal and remember to snack often. I found going too long without eating would cause me to have a hypoglycemic type episode. You should feel better once the second trimester arrives. Congrats!

I'm very unsure what my due date is due to irregular periods but I did bloodwork today and my levels are 459 by calculations I'm about 4-5 weeks pregnant is that a normal level I go back for more bloodwork Thursday? ? Also my legs and arms have been going numb alot too :(

the biggest thing is to add in more Folic acid.  You need good folic acid reserves at the very beginning of pregnancy to help your odds with baby having spina bifida. 

I took my regular multi PLUS more Folic and more iron - until my nausea got too bad.  Then I switched to a gummy prenatal, separate iron, and extra folic.
