I would suggest you take a pregnancy test if you have had sex within the last three months (yes, even if it was right before your surgery). Regardless of whether you are using birth control, you should do the quick, painless, inexpensive home test to be sure that pregancy is not the reason. You probably are NOT pregnant, but if you've done the dance.. you COULD be. Fertility typically skyrockets after WLS. Many pregancies occur without even trying.

Don't feel bad. 5 weeks out neither my bypass buddy or I have gotten ours. My PCP says it's to be expected. Luck :0)

PLEASE take a pregnancy test! I got pregnant 1 month after surgery! I was told I would never be able to have kids, and WOW, I was pregnant! And now I have 2 kids! Or it maybe a hormone thing, when you loose weight fast it will mess with your body! Home pregnancy tests DO work! Try one!
