Statistic of multiples post op?



Recommended Posts

Just to say upfront: We DO NOT have any intention on trying until I am at least 1 year post op...

I've read that the chances of multiples go up post op...how long is this the case, and how frequently? I've struggled with PCOS ever since I was 12, so I worry that I'll be the ONE woman who will still be infertile post op...

I'm just waiting for my doctor to release me to TTC--He said he will probably release me in January (right after hitting the 18 month mark).

I'm still curious about the statistics behind having multiples post-op...does anyone have any info for me? I don't really mind either way, I just need to know if I should mentally prepare my husband for the possibility, and I am wondering if the statistics are about the same for people without the surgery and ourselves, or do we have a higher chance of a multiples pregnancy.

I would suspect that it's just like in any other pregnancy - genetics or fertility treatments increase your odds of multiples. After that, it just a matter of fate! I told my husband when we do start trying, I hope it's twins, because at my age I feel like we have one shot. And his mom is a twin.

I had surgery in 2012

Single Birth (baby #5) 2013

Single Birth (baby #6) 2015

I am 37 (increased chance of multiples)

I have had multiple pregnancies (increased chance of multiples)

I do not think there is a correlation. I think it is more genetic and or drug induced.

      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!!
