11 mos post op on BC, but pregnant anyone else?
billiejo113 posted a topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am 11 mos post op @my goal weight and just tested positive on a hpt. I have been on bc for 4yrs changing it once because of all the hormonal issues from loosing the excess weight. I had insulin resistance that has since been reversed along with pcos I was being treated for...the bc was for #1 prevent pregnancy for first yr and yrs to come. (I already have 4) #2 regulate crazy cycles post op. #3 help control cyst. Anyone else get surprised with a positive pregnancy while on BC? (Especially having a hard time conceiving before vgs) -

I'm not even a yr out, I will be on March 15th. I've been on bc since my 4yr old was born and had to change it once after surgery because of hormone issues post surgery. Here I now sit testing positive on a pregancy test with #5. Pregnancies weren't easy for me and usually happened with the assistance of metformin because of my pcos, insulin resistance, and excess weight. I call it the perfect storm the insulin resistance was reversed, the weights gone, and now I find myself scheduling an ob appt while on bc....

Ladies Only...Is your body going crazy too?

I had my surgery in March 2012. I had hormone/cycle issues after my surgery too. My ob/gyn said obese people store excess hormones in their fat cells and as we loose weight those hormones don't just disappear they have to work thwir way back to normal levels. I had to change my bc once; had some break through bleeding was getting ready to schedule a follow up, and I've just tested positive for pregnancy. All we can figure is my hormones were out of whack again when I got pregnant. My cycle always messed up when I would loose large chunks of weight. My insulin resistance is completely reversed now, so we think loosing 115#'s, reversing my insulin resistance, and my hormones going whack made the perfect storm for me to get pregnant. This is surely a surprise since I am on birth control, have had 4kids, pcos, and it was never this easy to get pregant before....
