Re: Infertility then wls will it get better?

there is certainly room for hope and a good chance that your

fertility will return on its own...my story is simular to yours i was

infertile for 16 yrs we went through the fertility stuff and no

babies or even pregnancys. after wls, a year later i ended up

pregnant woohoo surprise! unfortunaly i had a miscarriage (nov 01)

that is how i found out i was pregnant i was even more surprised

because we used protection. i still wanted to lose weight and

stablize my weight before getting pregnant so to be safe we used

better means of protection, then in aug i decided i was ready and

well being 35 i didnt want to wait any long not to mention i was

gonna have a revision on my tummy tuck and felt it would be

benificial to get pregnant before my revision, i got pregnant on the

2nd try (2nd month) in sept. so with that said, this is why i say

there is hope..i beleive this surgery has helped many women conceive

after infertility, extra weight can halt our fertility and when we

lose the weight it returns at some point, not always but i beleive

for the most part unless there is something else wrong. give it a

try if you are ready, if it dosnt work after a year then go see a

specialist again, maybe even just a small jump start will help. good

luck to you...deanna
