pre-op testing rescheduled

I went for my pre-op testing at baptist today and after waiting for an hour and half, they call me back and asked some questions. Come to find out, they made me rescheduled because I had sex with my husband since my last period. I dunno if I'm an idiot but I had no idea, but just because the mere possibility exsists I could be pregnant. Even if almost impossible. I'm mad because noone mentioned that I shouldn't have sex with my husband even with protection. Anyway they rescheduled my testing for august 10th, three days before my surgery to include blood pregnancy test. I'm kinda worried that the testing is too close to surgery and I have family already scheduled off to be here.

UUUGGGGHHHHH!!!! I am so sorry!!!!  I guess they are being extra careful...just in case. Hang in there!  Surely it will be okay on the 10th. Rhonda

Bless your sweet little frustrated heart!  The pre-op tests are no big deal in comparison to the myriad of tests you have already been through.  Try to relax and don't let it stress you out.  Everything will work out. Big smile! Freddie

 Everything happens for a reason.....  Just use protection until your next blood tests.... three days before your surgery seems like awful close.....Did they do a smoking test on you?....I don't smoke and told them that and they HAD to do a smoking test on  me anyway!!!...I think even second hand smoke prohibits healing..... and I sure don't  want to mess that up!!!  My surgery is August 10th!!

Well they didn't even ask like that we used protection or what not.  lol no more til well after surgery.  As for a smoking test, I don't smoke, never have and am never around people who smoke.  I am worried that the testing for everything is so close to surgery, just because I don't want there to be some problem that is gonna have to have the surgery rescheduled. 

Lisa,          Don't worry about it, I have had several surgeries in the past and some of them had pre-op testing just a few days before.  They can rush the results and you will  be just fine!!!  Relax and drink some broth, it will happen on your special day!!! Shelia

Wow!! I have my pre-op testing coming up this friday and then surgery monday , so I guess sex is off limits for me and dh!I dont want anything to postpone my surgery. I had no idea they would postpone testing for this reason, they really should tell you that before hand. Best of luck to you..

You really would think they would tell you about something that important. This is the first time I have heard of this even coming up. I'm sure that was frustrating, especially after waiting so long. I don't think there will be anything to hold up your scheduled surgery though.

Yeah I was completely in shock and almost in tears.  She originally said my surgery would need to be rescheduled but then said they could do the blood pregnancy test and everything on the 10th and still have my surgery on the 13th.  But still I was angry that nobody every mentioned that to me ahead of time.  I knew I was going to have xrays, but who thinks gee maybe I should refrain from being intimate with my husband the entire month before my surgery.
