Fertility after WLS

Apr 20, 2009

A very interesting thing happened to me on Friday.  My period was 2 weeks late and I wasn't too worried because I've been under a lot of stress and thought I might be going back to my old cycles (whenever they decided to come).  I thought just to be sure I better do a pregnancy test.  I ran to the store during my break and came back to pee on the stick.  Guess what?  Nothing happened.  No lines - no nothing.  The test didn't work.  Fortunately, I bought a two pack so after waiting about 10 minutes I took that test and guess what?  Nothing, that one was defective too!  I'm feeling relieved but still want to know for sure.  I went back to the store, bought another 2 pack and took the test.  Within 6 seconds of peeing on the stick there were two lines on the test.  OMG - this can't be happening.  I took the other test about 15 minutes later with the same results.  I kept checking throughout the day and the test never changed - it was positive and I am pregnant!  My husband is having a hard time coming to terms with it but it's only been a few days and this was very unexpected.  Were we using anything?  Nope, shouldn't come as such a surprise then right?  I just didn't think that I could get pregnant.  Both of my boys were conceived through artificial insemination and were truly something I fought to have.  So I just wanted to give a warning to all of you out there - YES!  It can happen to you.  Be careful if it's not what you are "expecting".
