trying to conceive and have some questions

[KTKaya 2]

Hello! I'm Katie, have been banded just over a year, and am currently trying to conceive. I've been off the pill since May and have a feeling this may be the month, but in the meantime I have some questions.

My surgeon is in another city and I have to fly to go see him. I am currently at 8.5cc in a 10cc band. I am feeling good and definately hit my sweet spot with this fill which I've had for a few months. My surgeon knows I'm trying to conceive and recommends we do a half un-fill once I am preggo.

Now to my question: how did you all deal with morning sickness and general nausea? Did you have any special medication to help aleviate it? I ask because excessive vomiting can cause your band to slip or cause irritation, and yet so many of us are having babies so there must be something to manage it?

Thank you so much in advance for any help or advice. And to those of you currently carrying: congrats! I wish you the best and hope you each have a wonderful, healthy pregnancy!

Good Luck, I hope this is your month!! Yes, there is medication to take for morning sickness. The most common one given is Phenergan, however when I started taking it I was so tired all the time. They switched me to Zofran and it is fantastic. I would highly recommend skipping the Phenergan and going straight for the Zofran.

Hi everyone. Just updating this post. Still haven't gotten knocked up yet, lol, but am staying positive, exercising, and eating right. I thought I was pregnant last month, as my period was 3 weeks late. However it turned out my cycle was out of whack due to years of BC pills, so I had to take a pill called primolut N for 10 days, which forced me back on track.

Thanks, aspen, for your response. I appreciate your support. Good luck to all of you who are pregnant, ttc, or new moms!

I would highly recommend getting some OPK's and start charting your cycles so you know when you ovulate. That way when you do try your doing it on the right days, also grab a tube of Pre-seed (a lubrication used to get pregnant) it is a miracle in a tube. Even if you have enough mucus down there, I would highly recommend using it also. I hope you get your positive soon
