Dominicana 88

Hi, I'm from San Pedro de Macoris :) I came to NYC when I was 10 yrs old.

I did use first response Opk, I wasn't sure when i got them positive, if my body was doing what it was supposed to be doing, you know how pcos is...and after that we only did it twice that cycle during my fertile window, I wasn't even sure if i was ovulating for sure, and I stayed in bed after sorry tmi but I didnt go to pee after. I know yuck, I just clean in bed, somebody told no to pee after, so i pee before.

I had my positive 8 days before my period, that is extremely early, n I couldn't believe it, so the next i went to clinic and pay 35 dollars for a same day results and it was positive.

Be ready cuz, your miracle is coming soon!
God bless you.

Congrats!!! I'm new to this app an I'm so excited for the big day, an hopefully for the positive pregnancy test. A little about me:

My name is Krystal, I'm in Houston Texas area. I was diagnosed with pcos when I was 19, but little did I no I have had it all my life. I have never had a normal period. Mine won't come for 2-3 months but then when it does it will last for a whole month! Not non stop, it will be there in the morning an by lunch will be gone, then later in the evening would be back. It's so bad that I have to wear a pad all the time cause I me er no when it's going to come:(

Me an my hubby have being trying to conceive for about 7 years using chlomid an metformin, but it was a no go. My fertility specialist recommended the sleeve because of the great results of alot of other patients. So... I am scheduled to have the surgery at the end of the month 5/28/14. I start my liquid diet on the 14th:)

I have tried for years and because of my weight and PCOS it didn't happen. Most docs advise you to lose weight before they start any assistive measures, so after years of struggling, overeating, and being depressed about it, I got sleeved.

I truly hope that it regulates my cycle and gets everything working again.

I'm 33 almost 34 and want kids so bad. I'm the gal that ends up crying after everyone else's baby showers and births. I'm happy for them, but want to experience being a mom too

I am 25 years old and was told I have PCOS a year ago. But I think I've had it for a lot longer. I never had regular periods. As mine were 2-3 months apart and when I did have one it would last for 2-3 weeks. I am now having the Sleeve on 10/30/14 and am so excited! I can't wait for this new journey of my life and loosing all of this weight! Good luck to all.

Congrats on getting started on your new journey! Mine has been amazing so far. I was sleeved 5/28/14 an I'm down 74 lbs! It's going so fast... I to also have pcos an hope to beat it an have a regular cycle so I can have babies. I'm 27 years old and I have had pcos all my life but wasn't diagnosed with it until I was 23. When I would go to my gynecologist an explain the lengthy or non exsistence periods, he would tell me it was my body changing an hormones going crazy! That it was normal for ladies my age to go through body changes. It wasn't until me and the hubby went to a fertility specialist that I was diagnosed. Well I know I'm probably going into to much detail so I will just shut my trap! Lol.. It's just so nice to have conversation with other ppl going through the same things as me.

I know this is an old post but it's so exciting to read. I too have PCOS and have wanted nothing more to be a mom for many years. All together I tried getting pregnant for 11 years. I quit trying for awhile then decided to have the surgery. I plan on stopping birth control at one year post op to see what happens. I will be 34 this year so time is of the essence. Congrats to all of you that have had success after surgery.

I know that this post is kind of old but I just wanted to take a moment to say congratulations to all of the new mommies here. I have read every post on this thread and see that I have very similar story to all of you. My husband and I have been together for 13 years and have been trying to get pregnant for over 10. It has been a bit of a rough journey for me. For the longest going from doctor to doctor trying to figure out why I wasn't having normal periods until my previous PCP recommended that I see a specialist. After doing months of research I suspected that what I have had all along was PCOS since I was a teenager. Before going to this specialist every other doctor would say you have amenorrhea, throw some pills at me and send me on my way. Meanwhile I continued to gain weight that was harder to lose. Each time I attempted to lose I would gain it all back and more. Finally walking in to the office to see the specialist after only a few minutes of my rambling she said you have PCOS.

I tried infertility treatment that failed. I started working out even harder and to no avail I still could not get pregnant. I then said okay maybe doing the weight loss surgery would help but then my employer switched insurance companies and I wasn't eligible. Years later I am 39 and upon researching my husband's insurance I found that they do cover WLS so here I am beginning the process to have the surgery. I went to a information seminar the day before Thanksgiving and I should be hearing from the surgeon's office upon verification of my insurance to schedule a consultation some time this week. I am praying that things will work out and that I too can be a mommy as well. Seeing all of your posts here gives me hope. Congratulations again and God bless you all. :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
