So I have been trying to conceive for over 18 months now. I do have one child who is four. After the birth of my daughter I had implanon implant placed in my arm. Had it for the full 3 years they say its good for. And started ttc after it was removed. Have had no such luck whatsoever and was recently diagnosed with pcos and put on metformin and spironolactone to deal with hormonal imbalance . I guess im just looking to see if anyone was in my situation and found that after surgery they were able to conceive naturally with out medication. Oh, and I have also done like 5 rounds of clomid with no luck. I guess im just looking for the little light at the end of this dark depressing tunnel.

Hi LagueritaChula.....

Your story is similar to mine, I been trying for 18

Months..and nothing, I also did 2 rounds of clomid, I dont any kids, either my husband, and I'm preop right now, my surgery is Jan 13, 2014

I was dianosed with pcos when i was 19, and then i was on birth control for 10 yrs, now im 31, almost 32 in march...and wanting to have a little baby so bad, I'm planning on waiting at least 6 months before I start ttc again, so Jun/Jul ...

of course all depends on how much im eating by then, and how much I lost....my husband is 43...

When is your surgery?

How long after are you planning to start ttc?

Linda- thankyou.

MJM- I dont have a surgery date yet im in process of completing a couple classes and should have a surgery date of late february or early march. I am like you and plan to start trying to conceive 6 months postop. I know they say not to but so many people have and been completly fine. I just hope it happens for us. My daughter asks me all the time for a brother or sister and even says mommy ill help you take care of it and it just breaks my heart that ive been trying and not been able to. I cry myself to sleep sometimes and I try not to fall into a depression by being grateful for the child I do have. But there is always an empty place for another baby. I hope this surgery helps us both. :)

Hi ladies first I want to say prayers and best wishes to you both. I had vsg about 6 mos ago the best decision I ever made, my highest 397 now 83 lbs lighter yay I'm so much better. It was something I had to do for myself and for my future to hopefully one day have children. I was diagnosed with PCOS at age of 17 and it's been rough. All I have ever wanted was a family. Today I am on my 3 rd day first round of Clomid praying it works. So ladies once again I pray baby blessings to you both and hopefully soon I can report great news. Be blessed gg

I forgot to write, that I too was diagnosed with pcos when I was 18.

And I was clomid for 2 months a year ago, but with my weight, it was impossible.

Thank you for the well wishes..the hospital stay was like a 75 % good...but when I compared myself to be alive n moving n feeling a lot better, then that 25% dissapears lol

It was a 2 night stay ....no nausea, no dizziness, but excruciating pain for the next 24 hours following the Surgery, due to wrong pain medication n pee on myself like 7 times while I was in the recovery room....but hey again im so thankful to my Lord Jesus, to give me the opportunity to have this Surgery n help me thru every pain, thru every tear..

Even with everything that I went thru I dont regret this Surgery at all...and im so happy, right now I feel like 10 garbage truck hit me, all at once, but all is good because im home with God hubby :)

words of warning lol.

I have had pcos for years. its been almost 8 years since I needed birth control cause I couldn't get pregnant. I do have one fertility treatment baby and we as a couple decided that weight loss would be a better option for another. so I have the sleeve last feb 19th and well when they say it will be super easy to get pregnant it is. I was 3 months out and was having trouble losing weight so they took me off the pill and told me to use other protection. one time without and we are having a baby girl in march. I only had lost 65lbs at that point, so it doesn't take much to make your fertility go way up. I thought they were full of it when its said only a 5% lose is needed lol but guess they were right. so yes ladies stick with the plan and do what they tell you and soon hopefully it will work out for you. great news is most of my pcos symptoms are gone as well. I will say don't get pregnant so soon out from surgery as it has been one scary ride. good luck

I have PCOS and i have a 6 year old, we tried for 4 years to have another baby before i had my surgery with no luck. ^ months out from my surgery, and on BC i got pregnant. I am currently 24 weeks along. my doctor said that they are trying to get the sleeve surgery passed as a treatment for PCOS because it is so effective. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you got pregnant quite quickly after you have lost some of the weight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
