Trying To Conceive

[ballajones 61]

I'm hoping someone can relate and give me some hope. I've always had irregular periods. Some lasting 3 months and recently not having one for 2 years!!! I've been on BC since I was 13 to regulate periods and stopped 3 years ago. Jan 2011 I had pre-cancerous cells removed from my cervix. I decided to get banded as I've always been told my weight was preventing me from getting preggo. I've lost 80lbs since being banded feb 1. And still no period. I really hope this changes I would love to have at least one baby

Anyone else have my bad luck???

I saw your post and I just had to post.first let me say I know exactly how you feel. I have always had female problems my whole young life. I too was on BC from 15 to about18 to regulate my periods, but quit doing that because I didn't like the way it made me feel. My periods would come and go 2 to 3 times a year. I got married at 27 years old and we started trying right away. I went to Repodruction Specialist and they ran a lot of tests on my husband and I both. It concluded that I had PECOS (cyst on overies). The Dr put me on clomid to get me to ovulate, we did several months of this with no avail. The Dr suggested using a Gonal F witch is a shot that I would give my self every night and then the Dr would do a IUI (intra uterus insimunation. Before doing that I wanted to be as healthy as I could be, because it was going to cost us a lot of money. So for about 8 months I went on a very strict diet that would boost my chances of concieving. In that 8 months I lost 68lbs. I can't tell you how good and positive I felt. Long story short, we did the shots dily for about 10 days and then the Dr told me give myself the shot to make me ovulate and then the next day the Dr dis the insemination. I had to wait 2 weeks to find out the pregnant results. It came up negative. Of course I was devastated. We did this same thing 3 more times with some breaks taken between each cycle. The third attempt we got the good new that I was pregnant!!! 1 month later I found out I was having twins and 3months after that I found out I was having 2 boys. I only tell you my story, so that it may give you a bit of hope. I loved reading stories that would give me luck going through all of this. I definitely would say losing weight and feeling better about myself really had a huge part in helping me conceive. Good luck, it will happen for you, just keep positive, that is all you can do.

That is a very familiar story. I had many problems for 17 years. Was banded for about14 months, went off BC and was pregnant weeks later. SO married and trying for 17 years and one day...!! Get healthy and the rest follows!!
