Surgery tomorrow, what if I am pregnant?

[Creepycaterpillar]

Hi there.
Been trying to conceive, and been waiting for toe nail surgery for nearly a year. Appointment came through for surgery tomorrow.
Horrified as I've realised they may not do it if I'm trying to conceive. I feel pregnant possibly 10dpo. I have been waiting so long for this op and have had serious infections. Terrified of being pregnant and having this toe nail problem.

I had no idea they could refuse to do it if pregnant, the podiatrist said this last week.
This is due to LA and phenol.
I'd mentioned to her I wanted this sorted before I get pregnant.

I may not even be pregnant. I just feel odd, really sore boobs, cramping, nausea.
Tested many times and today and BFN.

Do I go ahead with surgery. What if I am in very early pregnancy?

Or don't get toe fixed and risk infections and sepsis during pregnancy.
Am I not pregnant until a positive result?
I don't know what to do.
I feel terrible asking.

I'm assuming they will screen tomorrow and ask if I could be pregnant, I will tell them I have taken a test and it's negative (obviously I will test again in morning and if positive then tell them and then op will be cancelled)

Please be gentle with me cause I feel so stupid.

I would just say, we’ve been trying to get pregnant. I took a test yesterday and it was negative, but it could be too early to tell, what do you suggest?

Ok, yes that sounds sensible. I'm just so worried about cancelling and then coming on my period. I've been waiting so long for my surgery :(

Did they only notify you today? You can get a blood test done to check for early pregnancy. Probably too late now though

I think they automatically ask for a urine sample and test for pregnancy. Well at least that’s what happened to my daughter before her op. We wondered why it was only the females being asked for a sample.

They rang me on Thursday last week, hmmmm that would have been helpful wouldn't it. I feel so stupid!

It's just day surgery in a clinic with LA I've had it done before and they didn't do a urine sample. I will test again in the morning though.

You'll have to tell them. Urine test probably won't be sufficient.
I only know as I was in hospital recently. They did urine test in A+E but before they sent me for CT scan they asked about possible pregnancy and last period date. When I said I wasn't 100% sure and only few days post ovulation they did a blood test. They rescheduled the scan after I got the results a couple of hours later.
