Hi all! I have a 6 month old and before I got pregnant with her, my periods were very irregular. My first 2 periods after her birth were 4 weeks apart from each other, the next one 5 weeks and now I'm working on 5+. I'm concerned because I recently underwent gall bladder surgery and if I am pregnant, I wonder what the anesthesia may have done. If I am pregnant, the surgery would have only been a few days after conception. I don't FEEL like I'm pregnant, not like I did with my daughter. I just needed to put this out there because I am FREAKING OUT!!! I keep praying, but that doesn't seem to be helping to put my mind at ease. If anyone knows anything, please let me know!
Thanks!

Hi..I have no exp. in this area whatsoever, but to me , all your issues combined (previous irregular periods, current slightly irregular or still adjusting periods, and gallbladder surgery) it seem s to me it could very likely be either normal, or related to something else. Did your doctor talk to you about side effects of surgery, maybe your body is readjusting to the birth of your daughter, surgery, stress, etc? I dont know if you are regular enough to calculate but do dates suggest you could pregnant? Sorry this is not too helpful but its nice to have some reply to a post :) haha good luck, hope it all works out well for ya!

When I got pregnant with my daughter, I was on medication to sort of "help" me along...not fertility meds, but something to make my periods regular. I'm not on that now and I'm thinking that what might be happening is that my body is going back to being irregular. When I was pregnant, I took several tests and they all came back negative and I kept saying to my dh "I KNOW I'm pregnant." Turns out (obviously) that I was right. I don't have those same feelings now. So I'm thinking that if I wear a pair of light colored shorts out tomorrow, maybe THEN I'll get my period. lol

Thanks for the reply!!
