Dan, first of all, congratulations! It's certianly unusual for her

to have been pregnant when they performed the surgery. But, there

have been quite a few, as I'm sure you'll see on the OSSG-Pregnant

list, who've gotten pregnant soon after. I believe a very high

percentage go on to have healthy babies. It just takes constant

monitoring, so make sure your OB/GYN is up to the task.

As for those hospital pregnancy tests, one of my single, 37 year old

girlfriends was going in for a different surgery, had the test, the

nurse came in and said " sit down. " She then told her the test came

back positive, she was pregnant. My girlfriend freaked out, was so

upset that she didn't know what to do. The nurse said as a routine,

they will do the test again and, well, you guessed it...negative.

Maybe we should all do home pregnancy tests before we go in for

surgery, just in case.

Well, good luck to you both, and please keep us informed.

Hugs,

in NJ

Boy, that is a plate full. Although it is of little help to you, I am

thankful I am not in that position. Best wishes on whatever you decide

to do.
