How long to get pregnant



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

I'm about 7 months out. 70# gone so far (in the midst of a pretty long stall, however...) and hubby and I would like to try for a baby. I know I'm a tad early, but doctor believes I will be ok. Anyways, my question is: how many months of trying (or not trying) did it take you to get pregnant?

Thanks :)

Look through a search for old posts. I know that we've had a few pregnant on purpose sleevers in the past.

Many many oops pregnant ladies too.

I think it also has to do w/ stopping birth control & your hormone levels.

May want to get some bloodwork done to see how the baby makers doing.

allons-y

Me too. He said that I could at 12 months post op but it would be healthiest for me and baby to wait 18 months......

She stated in her post that the doctors cleared her to get pregnant. I think what she was asking was how long did it take people to get pregnant when they were trying... Not how far out from surgery.

First month off of birth control it happened(birth control doesn't work with my body the way it is suppose to, long story). Mind you both presleeved babies were fertility treatment babies. I became pregnant at 6 months out down 90lbs. Good luck hun.

I am done having kids but when I got off b/c (mirena) it took about 4 months. I used ovulation strips, and then it happened. Good luck!

Oh wow!!!

Oh wow is right!!! Lol this was def not in our plans but apparently was in Gods perfect plan... its REALLY hard... I cant eat like anything and since you aren't allowed deli meat while pregnant I am having a really tricky time finding things my pouch will accept PLUS I am super sick all the time. This is our 3rd baby and by far the hardest pregnancy.

Thats why i had the sleeve surgery to have a baby...Im four months post op right now...

Dr mentioned for me to "wait' till 12 months to NOT mess up my weightloss...but pregnancies happen very easily post op due to the rapid weightloss and crazy hormones...

Just keep on top of your Vitamins and minerals just in case your birthcontrol doesnt protect like it should...

Im not on BC pills...we use condoms---BORING...Im 38 years old I cannot wait much long...ya feel me LOL me and hubby have NO kids and want kids so badly...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
