My pre-op test was negative but I'm now 10 days post op and 5days late in my cycle with a positive pregnancy test. This would have only put me at 10days post-conception-date during the actual procedure. I had a breast augmentation. Should I be concerned about anesthesia effects given that the pregnancy was not detectable at the time of surgery?

Answer: Positive Pregnancy Test Post-Breast Augmentation Dear Cb98LP,First, let me express my sympathies for the stress you find yourself under at this time. The most important recommendation is to contact your OB-GYN to discuss this situation as soon as possible. That being said, a few years ago, one of my patients found herself in the exact situation you are in at this time. She too had tested negative on the day of her surgery only to have her pregnancy test turn positive days after her surgery. We contacted her OB-GYN who assured the patient that there was minimal risk to her baby from the after effects of her surgery. He explained that a recently fertilized egg had not yet implanted into the wall of the uterus and was minimally impacted by the medications, etc. that were used during surgery. Only after the fertilized egg is implanted into the uterus does the connection between the baby and mom begin. That's also when the urine tests become accurate.Our patient did well. She delivered without a problem and we see her and her child every year when she comes in for her annual check-up. I hope this makes you feel better.
