[quote=Anonymous]I've got a strange predicament on my hands here. My period is 2.5 weeks late and I could not figure out why. My husband got a vasectomy 3.5 years ago after the birth of our daughter and so I've never had to worry about pregnancy scares since then. I told my friends and as a joke, one of them brought a pregnancy test to a get together we had yesterday. I took it in the bathroom at my friend's house, we all joked it was like Brenda on Beverly Hills 90210- hahaha. Then, a few minutes later, wine glass in hand, I went to check it (thinking surely it would say not pregnant and we'd all laugh and my period would come today) and... it said pregnant. This is an anonymous board so I have nothing to hide; believe me when I tell you there is NO possibility of anyone being the father but my husband. (Luckily, he also knows this, and has been great about this whole thing.) My friends and I were shocked. I had a bit of a freak out, and then we started looking through the pamphlet of the pregnancy test and saw that ovarian cysts can sometimes cause false positives. One type of cyst in particular secretes small amounts of hcg- small enough that a good at home test can detect the levels (<10 usually) but low enough that a doctor will be able to tell me in a blood test that this is not a pregnancy, if it's truly not. I have had an ovarian cyst before and have noticed a sharp pain in my left pelvic region for the past few weeks, but brushed it off as something I pulled while working out, or while we were moving last month. But the combination of prolonged sharp pain in pelvic region + missed period + my husband having a vasectomy is leading me to believe I may have this cyst that is giving me a false positive, rather than I am actually pregnant. I just found this all out last night so I am trying to get into the doctor today as soon as I can. In the meantime, I'm just looking for any experience here from others. There IS a chance, however small, that my husband's vasectomy failed due to a nodule forming, or scar tissue rupturing, or one of the tubes simply reconnecting itself. I do accept that's a possibility, though I have to think a cyst is just so much more likely. SO- has anyone here ever had a false positive due to an ovarian cyst, OR has someone else ever gotten pregnant 3.5 years after their husband went through a vasectomy? My head is just sort of swimming here![/quote]
