Pregnancy After Partial Hysterectomy Posted: 09-30-06 07:36am
Hi ladies! I am a 37 yr old female. I
had a partial hysterectomy 7 yrs ago.
They left my tubes and ovaries. For
about the past month, I have had gradual
weight gain, even though i've been dieting
and about a week ago, I started looking
like I was 4-5 months along. My stomach
isn't going down at all. All of the
weight gain is in my abdomen and in my
breast. About 1-2 weeks ago, my breast
started hurting and have gotton much
bigger. They are very tender and they
have gotten very veiny. A couple of days
ago, I had clear liquid coming out of
them. I have read all of the posts about
pregnancy after a partial hysterectomy and
researched on the internet. It seems
pretty amazing! I went to the doctor
yesterday, and she wants an abdominal and
pelvic sonogram done. I think it has
freaked her out too. I haven't taken a
pregnancy test yet, but from what I have
read on here, it probably wouldn't show if
I was. Are there any other conditions
that can cause the same symptoms as
pregnancy?

I am affraid that there are chances that
you got pregnant but would probably have
to determine the pregnancy because it
would not be in the uterus where all the
fetuses grow but it could develop inside
the fallopian tubes. This is very
dangerous and it needs to be removed.
Have you had a home pregnancy test done?
If this is not pregnancy, the symptoms
should be checked anyway to rule out other
disorders.
You will know soon after the ultrasound.
Your hormonal levels may be delining and
all the weight gain could be because of
that.
I hope everything turns out just fine. I
read into similar posts on the site, you
may find them uselful.
