Pregnancy After Surgery

Hello all,
I just need a little clarity about life after gastric bypass; I am still learning all of the ropes. I have missed my monthly cycle by approx 4 days now. I have taken 2 hpt's that have both been (-). I am having some similar symptoms to my last pregnancy; cravings, sensitivity to smells, mood swings (which i have actually had since surgery) but now they are stronger, constant running discharge...I am unsure if possibly the surgery is causing me to have inaccurate results somehow? I'm not exactly sure where to go from here. I don't really know if I should bother asking my GYN to do a blood test when I havent received a (+) at home.
Has this happened to anyone else Post-op?
Thanks Ladies
Rhonda

 your almost 10 months out from surgery correct?   Or is the date you have listed as your RNY under your picture wrong?  I DID get a negative when i was pregnant with my last daughter and then got a positive later.  You can have a false negative but never a false positive.  If your really 10 months out and all of a sudden your getting these symptoms..give it another week and test again..or go in for a blood test.    I have never been pregnant AFTER surgery so i can't tell you if any of this is normal.  I am only 4 months out and i will still have cravings..and some days the things i LOVE do not appeal to me but next week they might.
