Anyone had problems getting pregnant before surgery?

[linda305 173]

I was told by numerous dr's that my weight is the reason i'm not ovulating. I haven't had my period for over 6 months. I have been trying for a year now and I feel this surgery is the last resort.

I'm doing it for my health and also would like to start a family. Im 31 and ready. Anyone one with this issue and gotten pregnant because of the surgery.

I don't have your situation but my brochures stress the fact that women become VERY fertile shortly after surgery. It also advises that they use 2 layers of protection to prevent pregnancy for the first year. Best of luck to you.

I know exactly what you're going through and the choice you've made! I'm doing it to. We've been trying to have a baby for 7 years. Multiple failed IUIs, one miscarriage and years of broken heartness.

They say that our fat stores extra estrogen which causes problems for fertility. And yes, they say you can become very fertile after surgery. I will be on lupron injections to treat my endo and that will work as my birth control. My surgeon knows that I am only willing to wait 6 months post surgery before we get started trying again. I'm 31 this year and I am determined to start my family!!

Best of luck to you Hun! Do you have a date yet?

Thanks for responding. No i don't have a date yet. But my dr. Says it should be around November Or December. I just started my six month process for insurance 2 months ago.

Well. I hope it works for you! I should be having my surgery in about two weeks.

My Husband and I have been trying for 9 years! I was also told that I do not ovulate due to my obesity. Although I have 2 wonderful boys (through adoption) I would love to give my Husband the little girl he dreams about.

I will be sleeved in September and will wait the suggested wait period then baby it is on! I will be working for my baby. Lol!

I am one of those who got sleeved for pregnancy. I had PCOS and was over weight. Doctor told me I needed to lose weight to conceive but I just couldn't do it on my own. So I took this route and I don't regret it one bit. After being sleeved for a month, my period went back to normal. And I use to only get my period once or twice a year. So I was happy that it got back to normal, but it stopped in January. Turns out I was only 4-5 months post op and pregnant!! My dreams came true.. And guess what, in the end it doesn't matter if it happen to soon or what people think. Cause My husband and I are filled with joy & excitement.. Losing weight again can come after I have this beautiful baby ) good luck to you.

Thanks for the info !!!!

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 6 years ago and the last 4 years my husband and I have been attempting to conceive with no luck. We have even attempted a couple of rounds of clomid. I have been trying for several years to kick the weight....but it just isn't happening for me! I do not have a regular cycle and I do not ovulate....My gyno has told me several times in the past that if I lose 50 lbs my chance of conceiving will increase significantly.....also she stated that my cycle should straighten itself out.... I currently am in the process of starting paperwork for WLS.... During my waiting period I am going to start back on birth control....studies show that this surgery makes women very fertile so they recommen birth control for the first 12-18 months following. It is important not to get pregnant during this time due to an increase in nutrion needs. Good luck to you!

At the end of the month will be my third visit. I will have to see a Nut, psych, Gerd, EKG, blood work and the the two week that I'm dreading the liquid diet. I am so terrified of that process and afraid that i will cheat. I really hope i have the will power.
