Re: Getting PG over 300lbs

[Guest guest]

Oh yes! I was where you are and I didn't ovulate. I had surgery in 2001. My

periods went back to normal after I had lost some weight... and now that I'm

down to around 160, I got pregnant! I probably could have gotten pregnant in

the 300's because I know that I was ovulating then (I could tell by the

difference in the way I felt with my periods).

Good luck to you! I'm 19 weeks and expecting my first in June.

It is very possible to get pg in the 300's. I was close to 400 when I go pg

with my daughter pre-op. If you do not want to be pg right now you need to take

precautions. Anything is possible

It is possible to get pregnant in your 300's. #1 Hormones have

changed as a result of your weight loss & if your periods ae normal

that is a pretty good sign that your are ovulating. I was 330#

before surgery and could not get pg becuase I was not ovulating and

had early signs of PCOS. I have lost 150 lbs and now my periods are

regular & am trying to concieve. Be careful if you are not ready

becuase I have heard that your fertility really increases with weight

loss (something about hormones being storred in our fat cells, we

loose the fat and the hormones are left fluttering) Good luck!

I'll assure you, you can get pregnant in your 300s! When my son

was born I was 398 lbs, and I *lost* weight with him because I had

such terrible morning sickness. When I had my WLS in December 2002,

I weighed 375 lbs. I got pregnant three months later. I was just

over 300 lbs at that point. I lost 24 lbs during my pregnancy and

now have a one month old and am down to 264. Amazing thing is, I had

VBG, not a bypass! Since my daughter's birth, the weight is melting

off. Ya gotta love nursing! Best of luck, it is possible!

I got pg with both of my girls at over 325#. This was pre WLS

days. So yes, it's very possible for women in the 300's to get pg!

, I am one of those who never had a normal cycle. In fact, I never had one

except when I took birthcontrol and when I quit taking them, I did not have a

cycle again until the week I came home from having my surgery. Then I had it

every month. The only thing I used for b-control was condom and didn't even use

it every time. Nine months post op I became pregnant. So if your cycles are

normal now, I would bet you would be able to get pregnant even at your weight.

I had always been told the reason my cycles were messed up and I could not get

pregnant was because of my weight but I also now several women who were 100

pounds heavier than me who were fertile myrtles. It just depends on the person.

So if you arent ready to get pregnant yet, you had best be using something.

Yes it is possible to get PG while in your 300s. If you have PCOS before

surgery it is very likely that it resolved yourself. PCOS can cause

infertility (some symptoms are abnormal or nonexistent cycles as well as

anovulation. How far out from your surgery are you?

Yes, you can. I have PCOS and even before my WLS I lost 35 pounds on Weight

Watchers and ended up pregnant w/ my son. Yes, I did have ovarian drilling

along w/ that in Sept. and got pregnant 6 mos. later w/ him. So, I imagine

you can chalk that one up to both items. I got pregnant really quickly this

time 9 mos. after surgery after I'd lost 120 pounds. I had a wonderful

pregnancy w/ my 1st even being heavy. This one has been a little

troublesome w/ leg and back pain and tailbone pain, my due date is in 1 week

so thank GOD for that! Good luck and keep us updated!
