Could I REALLY be PREGNANT!?

[tiffanymarie6997 115]

I had gastric sleeve surgery in April of 2016. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 16 and was told having kids was extremely unlikely. My periods were never regular, not even close, even on birth control so I stopped taking it a few years ago because trying to get a regular period was my only need for it. Fast forward to Dec. 2016. I've lost over 100 pounds, so my gynecologist took me off of my Metformin. My periods regulated themselves starting in February, due to my weight loss. Since then I have had a regular period every single month, so a little over 6-7 months of regular periods. Until this month. As of today I am 6 days late, and I was sexually active without protection during my ovulation days according to my period tracker. I am so used to not having to think twice about being late that the possibility that I may indeed be pregnant just doesn't seem real. But, I've gotten used to starting my period on the exact right day for the past 7 months so I'm conflicted. I've spent the last 11 years being told having a baby wasn't going to happen. I took a pregnancy test at 3 days late (it took every ounce of courage I have to take that test) and it was negative, which I fully expected because Lord knows I've never seen a positive one and fear that maybe I never will. Yet, I still haven't started my period and don't really have any signs that I'm going to. I'm trying to not get my hopes up, so I'm trying to just wait things out. Maybe my period will show up...and I'll have my answer. Am I crazy for thinking maybe I am pregnant? I feel crazy for letting myself think that. My cycle could just be messed up again due to stress or many other reasons...Should I test again at a later date or save myself the heartache and wait it out? Any input is appreciated.

Hi My advice to you , would be to book in with your Doctor for a blood test, I have two kids neither of them showed positive till I was pretty sure I was pregnant lol , I had a blood test with them both, its the only way to be sure right now, some people prefer to wait it out though , I am not one of those people so only you can answer that one, if you prefer to wait it out, but if you are trying start taking folic acid and prenatels now , this is what I did Relax , dont feel crazy it really sounds like this is something you never dreamed of happening so its understandable it seems unreal

Only advise I have is to not give up on having a baby. I also have pcos and was told my chances of having a baby (on a scale 1-10) were 2. This was after my husband and I tried for 7 years. I finally gave up hope and BAM I was pregnant the following month. Due to my lack of periods I had ZERO symptoms of being pregnant.. no morning sickness . No sore breast..nothing. I didn’t know I was pregnant until about 6-7 weeks I randomly took a test (it was due to expire in 3months) and it was positive. Although this was pre surgery I am a strong believer that anything is possible. I am now almost at 1 yr post op and going to try again for #2

Try not to stress over it and let it consume your mind(I know, easier said than done )

Good luck sending positive prayers and vibes your way.
