Pregnancy Or Side Effect? Posted: 01-15-05 23:48pm
I have lost 5 pregnancies in the past. I
had abdominal surgery done on october 15th
2004. I had a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy,
d&c and a biopsy of the uterus.
While my ob/gyn was doing the surgery, he
found that I have a severe uterus
infection causing me to lose my babies, if
they even implant...
I was on medication and went back on
december 29th for another uterus biopsy to
see if the infection is gone. (i find out
on monday)
now my question is this...
After my surgery, I had my period for a
normal 5 days. My cycle that month was
about 31 days long compared to my normal
26 - 27 day cycles. (that was from
october to november)
then from november to december, it went
back to normal. It was 27 days long.
That was 17 days before my second biopsy
on dec 29th.
Its now january 15th (8:45 pm here) and no
sign of my period. Ive had some some very
mild cramping that doesnt last long, been
really dizzy and felt sick to my stomach
sometimes and also had slightly tender
breasts...
Tomorrow, the 16th, will be 5 weeks since
my last period. Is this an effect of my
surgery or the biopsy? My fiance and I
have been ttc for nearly 5 years now still
with empty arms. Needless to say, even
though I know im late getting my period, I
dont want to get my hopes up if its only a
side effect.
Any ideas?
Oh, I did take a internet cheapie (ebay)
hpt 2 days ago which had a very very very
faint pink line...Very faint. But it is
as thick as the control line. You can
only see it in the light though. Havent
taken any since then.

I think you should go to the store and
take a hpt again. It should show up by
now. And if it is neg. Then it is a
side effect for the procedure. Good luck
hun and keep in touch. Also you could
call your doctor and get them to do a
blood test

Thank you both.
I decided to use my last internet cheapie
this morning because I have an appointment
with my ob/gyn tomorrow. The test was
completely negative. Not even a trace of
a line...But the control line was lighter
then normal too.
I have no idea whats going on. Its been
5 weeks since my last period today. I
talked to an ob/gyn this morning that told
me since I got my period after my surgery,
everything should be normal and that the
biopsy wouldnt cause this. (i only
spotted a tiny bit when it was done.)
