Actively TTC?

[annapatel 29]

Is anyone actively trying to conceive now? I had surgery in February 2013, suffered some serious complications, but recovered well and now my husband and I are actively trying to conceive baby #2. I was 255lbs when I got pregnant with baby #1 and 325 when he was born. I am now 173. I never thought I would be so excited to be pregnant again - but I am so dedicated to having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

How long have you guys been trying?

[annapatel 29]

We have been trying for 2 months now. I had my IUD removed in February.

Having the IDU removed will probably kick start it it shouldn't be long now.... Good Luck!!!!

Thank you! Hoping for a positive soon so we can have a winter baby!

I know what you mean all are right there together including my mom's I am a fall baby (October) so I got a little breathing room but not much lol

I tested everyday since then today being the last test( which of course was positive) and a missed period! .. this is my first time so I am still in disbelief We have an appointment with the OB/GYN on thursday I am so excited!!

Good luck to you guys!

Congrats to you!! I'm about to enter month 5 of TTC. Hoping it's my turn soon

I hope this isn't TMI but I do not need lube but I had heard of people using PreSeed to help conceive... We used it the last two times. I'm not sure if that helped or it was just our time but just thought I would share in case you are looking for a maybe boost :-)

Me an my hubby want to ttc very much but my dr is very persistent about us waiting at least 9 months before ttc. I was recently sleeved on 5/28, an I'm already down 33 lbs! Went from a size 22 to a size 16;)

On another note 1 week after surgery I started cycle, an it lasts almost 2 weeks! That might sound bad to some but for me it was great considering with my pcos I never have a normal 1. To my surprise exactly 1 month later I start again;)

Already starting to regulate! Congrats an good lunch on ur journey, an hopefully we will all soon have a bundle of joy;)

I was sleeve d 7/17/2013. Doc just put me on metformin to help move things along. Anyone else this after sleeve for conception.

We are TTC#4, which would be the 2nd pregnancy since I was sleeved. I conceived just over a year after surgery, which is a little of a no no but my doctor was okay since I'd lost 90% of my excess weight. I went on to have good pregnancy and an amazing labour and birth. We're trying for #4 now, but it doesn't look like it will be as easy to conceive, babes #1 and 2 were the result of a lot of fertility treatments and #4 might need a boost too. #3 was a blessing.

I did metformin with the first 2, but I don't want it this time since I am still breastfeeding. Likely use menopur again.

How long after surgery did your doctor wait before he put you on metformin? I'm actually considering going on it myself. I used to take it with chlomid before my surgery but was told to stop all meds for fertility purposes until at least 9 months after surgery. Dr wants me to wait at least a year to try conceiving big said at minimum 9 months. My surgery was 5/28/14 an I'm thinking about starting the metformin now.
