Pregnancy on my mind - 10 weeks

[charley27 164]

I'm 10 weeks post op and have pregnancy on my mind 24/7. I want to get pregnant so bad. I went back on the pill after surgery (haven't had a period in a year and a half) and I had it once for 4 days since I started the pill again. I'm worried that I'm not ovulating and never will. I have PCOS - no cysts, but the hair, no periods and the weight. I'm down 43 pounds.

@@charley27 It would be extremely dangerous for you and the baby if you got pregnant anytime in the near future. It takes longer than 10 weeks for PCOS symptoms to go away. Even without PCOS, your periods would be all out of whack at this point anyway - with the hormone dump from fat burning/weight loss. Concentrate on your health, losing weight (pregnancy at your weight would be high risk as well - regardless of having weight loss surgery) and be safe until it's healthy to consider a pregnancy.

When was the last time you spoke to your gynecologist about this?

Make an appointment and discuss these issues with them. They can certainly let you know if you are ovulating or not.

I too had pregnancy on my mind when I was deciding to have WLS. I had not had my period in a year. No PCOS either. I have been regular again since surgery thankfully. I am shocked by how rapidly that happened for me and curious to see if it continues as I move forward in my journey.

I'm looking into freezing my eggs so I can focus on my health and put off pregnancy until I am at my goal weight and maintaining and am really excelling at my new healthier lifestyle.
