Posted on Mon, 24 Jun 2024
Question: Hi, I recently had lipo with local anesthesia where I was awake for the procedure. I had my cycle during the process and a month after. This month my cycle is a week late so far. I tested positive for a box pregnancy test kit then a day later negative at my local my gyn office. Is this normal? could it be stress from surgery?

Brief Answer:
You can go for blood beta hcg level

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
As per your description these symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalance or could be due to pregnancy.
As your home urine pregnancy test is negative you can go for blood beta hcg level to rule out pregnancy.
Get your thyroid profile,hemoglobin test and ultrasound pelvis also.
After surgery due to hormonal imbalance, delay.in menstrual cycle is very common.
High protein diet and lots of vegetables and fruits and drink a lot of warm water
Hope found useful,feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards
