titiay30 0 Posted August 26, 2010 So, I'm 31 married black woman ...lol and my mom is hounding me about having kids...I want some babies, but I'm still to big (in my opinion). I've been infertile for years and had a miscarrage 1 year ago today. Just wondering if you were faced with infertility and then had the band surgery and ended up getting pregnant...

Melinco 1 Posted August 26, 2010 So far, for me, no. However, I have old eggs (officially called diminished ovarian reserve). Unless a miracle happens, I won't get pregnant on my own, even after I lose all my weight, unless I use donor eggs or donor embryos. Some women will get KU'd, if their only issue was their excess weight was keeping them from having regular cycles. Once their cycles start back up, they become fertile again. Others who have PCOS will still need some help with getting KU'd. One gal from Australia who got banded a couple years ago just delivered her baby that she conceived using donor eggs from Thailand. If you PM me, I can give you her blog address. But yes, it can happen, but it all depends on what is the cause of your infertility in the first place.

Moquarius 3 Posted August 26, 2010 I too have PCOS and love to hear about successful pregnancies after lapband... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dar36 5 Posted August 28, 2010 I am sure there are many variables involved. I would see a specialist to assist you with this. I wish you the best. I have PCOS, which made conceiving difficult. After a few unsuccessful pregnancies, I finally have two beautiful boys! When I was ready to try again, I saw a fertility specialist and took Metformin (preband). The thought of losing another pregnancy is difficult and tramatic. The joy of having a child is beyond anything that I can put into words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
