How Long Did It Take To Get A Positive?



Recommended Posts

Not sure what's up but I'm currently2 Weeks late. Tested this morning and I got a negative.

I had my surgery at the end of may. Have had 3 cycles, first one was 33 days the other 2 were 36. So I thought cool for once my cycles are becoming normal. Well not this month. Any ideas? I have a Obgyn appointment Monday but I'd like to get some ideas first.

If you are 2 weeks late and still not positive, the chances are you are not pregnant (not saying it isn't possible, my friend never got a positive test until she was 3 or 4 months!). I struggled with very irregular cycles when I went off the pill and started trying to get pregnant. I would have a month or 2 of normal cycles, and then I would have a cycle that lasted 50 days. I even went over 70 days one time. So just because you had a few regular cycles in a row doesn't make it so (sorry). Are you actively trying to get pregnant? They do usually suggest a year before trying, but I have seen women get pregnant and have healthy pregnancies earlier out.

I do not know if you are interested in herbal remedies, but one thing that I found that help regulate my cycles is chasteberry or also called vitex. It is well known for helping PMS and irregular cycles. I used and it worked great and had no problems conceiving my second child. Good Luck!

No we weren't trying. We want to but we know its best to wait the year.

I've never really been into the herbal stuff but I'll give it a try. Thanks

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
