Getting pregnant

[charley27 164]

I am 25, have pcos, had vsg over 6 months ago and have lost 76 pounds. My periods are very irregular. Anyone else in my situation have success getting pregnant?

Try the back seat of a mustang. It worked for several of my friends back in the day.

I'd think it's too soon to get pregnant. My surgeon and the entire surgical center staff tested and stressed about pregnancies really hard.

Can have complications.

My surgeon told me its best to wait at least 12 months before even considering getting pregnant.

I know you're excited but you probably are a little early, nutrition wise. BUT you can do a lot to get ready for when it's time. It took me 6 years to get pregnant and it was very very hard emotionally.

First thing I would do is go on http://m.early-pregnancy-tests.com/ and get ovulation tests. Of course check on retailmenot.com for coupons. They always have great ones!!

Find an app you love that tracks fertility and set it up.

The app will give you an idea when you should be testing. The first month will be total guess. Usually you ovulate day 14-I ovulate day 18! That's a big difference when it comes to planning!!

The ovulation test will let you know what day you ovulate. Now chart on your app (or pen and paper if you want) for the next four months.

When you get the ok from the dr I highly recommend three things. First buy a big ol block of those cheap pregnancy tests from earlypregnancytest. Believe me you will test a stoopid amount haha!! I know it's expensive, but invest in pre-seed, which helps those little guys surf to where they need to be. Finally, if you can afford it, try acupuncture at a place that specializes in fertility. If anyone is reading this and is Austin, TX, Sage acupuncture is amazing. Look on Groupon for deals. I'd give it 3 times.

The biggest thing, which is absolutely impossible, is to stay calm and not stress about it. I know. Impossible.

I really wish you the best. I wish I had figured all this stuff earlier. It won't happen right away, so maybe start like 10-11 months and get the routine down. Good luck!!!!!!!

Have you tried testing every day for a month? Maybe your day is just WAYYYYYYY different than 14....?
