I am 26 year old female. My journey started back in 2006 when my husband and I were trying to start a family. I was diagnosed with PCOS. Which the diagnosis answered a lot of my questions... Why did I gain all this weight so fast? Why was my blood sugar out of control? Why were my menstrual cycles non-existent, even on birth control? So, I did 6 months of Clomid and didn't get pregnant nor did I ovulate. I went to an endocrinologist and he stated I needed to lose weight before he would help me. My family doctor then recommended the Lap Band procedure since I had done the 1200 calorie diet and many other weight loss options. I was banded December 28, 2007. I started out at 262 lbs and 10 months later I am 205 lbs. I am so happy. I am considering trying to get pregnant but I am going to talk to my surgeon and obgyn before I start really trying.

Hi, I know this post was from August but... I took Clomid for 6 months in 2007. My BMI was 46. I have PCOS as well and it didn't work for me, so I decided to lose weight but I went ahead with the lapband. I am now thinking about trying the Clomid again now that my BMI is 35. I am going to talk to my OBGYN first to see if she thinks I can go ahead and try while working on my weight loss or if I should lose more weight first. I have had the lap band for 10 months and lost 57 lbs. My periods aren't totally regular but I have one every 30-35 days instead of 3 a year. Hope this helps!
