Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 When I was 16 the doc told me I had PCOS. Then at 24 and on birth control I conceived my son. I just had Gastric bypass in Feb of this year, and Found out we are expecting again. I definitely believe that as the weight comes of your fertility goes up. We weren't even trying yet and surprise. Good luck Meridth Wife to Larry (02/22/02) Mother to Forrest (01/21/01) Expecting #2 02/14/05 Gastric ByPass 02/23/04 370/288pg/175 goalweight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I have read many posts from surprised women that found out they were pregnanct after surgery and they never thought they would be because they had PCOS and they easily got rpego after surgery. i was very infertile many years ago and after 8 on and off years of clomid and inseminations I gave up and took custody of my cousins baby girl who was 1 yr. and got pregnanct within 6 months of having her with us and I was not on anything to help meg et pregnant and had twins Then i still did not take anything and could NOT get pregnant again so i went to the infertillity doc and got back on Clomid and got pegnant first try when the boys were 2/12 I had baby girl. Then nothing again for 3 1/2 years and went on BC pills for a cyst I had on my ovary and when I got off the pills I got pregnant but had a miscarraige. Before I had my surgery i went on BC pills just in case and at 8 months out I quit the pills and got pregnant again but miscarried again ( both miscarraiges were from the pregnancies coming off the Bc pills so hormones may not have been regulated) anyways stayed off the pills and got prego again with 3-4 months of the miscarraige and am not at 35 weeks, So I think I was more fertile after surgery sicne I got pregnanct 2 times within 4 months of each other where it usually takes me years to conceive. I wish you the best of luck. I know TTC is stressful but try to relax about it, i know better said than done. God Bless, Robin, NorthEastern, NY Age- 41 EDD- July 27th, 2004 IT'S A BOY!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Hi Lynn I actually took clomid with my other 3 children due to my being infertile due to my weight. Let me just say that this baby was a suprise. I was actually on the birth control patch until the warm weather came along and they started making me break out. I took them off in may.... and here we sit in june and I am 7 weeks pregnant. I was always told it took awhile after birth control to get pregnant! Wrong!! I just thought.. well I will go get my tubes tied in July, so I wont worry about it.... wrong again! Believe me it happens! OpenRNY 11/15/02 Baby #4 due 2/8/05 > Hello everyone.

PCOS and Pregnancy Hello everyone. I am new here so forgive me if this has been posted before. I had my surgery on 5/18/04. Until that point, I was infertile. We had tried for over a year and a half and nothing. I am thinking this is due to my weight. I started at 307 and today im at 277. I am wondering if anyone has had PCOS and had the surgery and been able to succesfully conceive a baby without having to do the complex things like the shots and things to have a child. I am starting to get baby fever honestly and I was just wondering. I havent saw many post where people had gotten pregnant easily. Other than just the pcos holding back, has anyone else that was infertile before surgery, gotten pregnant easily after surgery? Sorry my curiousity is getting the best of me.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Angel - WLS definately helps reduce the effects of PCOS. I have been married 18 years and besides the 3 early miscarriages I have had in the 80's have not been able to concieve due to PCOS. We went the whole fretility round for the last 2.5 years and then decided that it was not meant to be. I had WLS and 5.5 months later accidentily got pregnant. We only had unprotected sex once that month and that is all it took.(I was told WLS could make me fertile and I shouldn't get pregnant for at least a year so we were trying NOT to) Now I am still 50-60 lbs from goal so I know it is not just the weight that was keeping me from getting pregnant. I weighed this much before at a much younger fertile age and still could not concieve. When you have WLS and loose a lot of weigh at a pretty rapid rate the fat cells dump all of the stored hormones in your body and kind of puts the PCOS into remission. For some people though I have heard that once you stabilize for a few years the PCOS can come back into play and others that have PCOS very bad still have some issues getting pregnant but this is not the norm. Most women become very fertile after WLS. Good Luck once your body is ready but do take your time and do not rush into it on purpose before at least 1 year out. - Diane > Hello everyone.
