TMI...NSV sort of (might not want to read)

A little background...

So a big reason for me to have WLS was to be healthy enough to get pregnant. A year ago this month I had my first appointment with a fertility specialist. At that time my cycle was anywhere between 55-80 days (I think). I remember that they gave me medicine in November to bring on my period so they could do 3 day blood work, and it still took 11 days before my period actually came. They determined my fibroids were so large (as well as small) and numerous that I needed to have them removed before proceeding with treatment. I was also diagnosed with PCOS (although my PCP had diagnosed it 2 years previous as well). I had the open surgery to remove the fibroids in Jan. 09 and my next 2 cycles were fairly normal (around 36 days). Then I started really packing on the weight and had an 80 day cycle. I began researching weight loss surgery (there were other factors as well).

 

Well, for the NSV...

This month I had a 28 day cycle! After the last two years, it is just so amazing. I actually recorded the date I thought I ovulated and it was exactly 14 days into the cycle. I am so excited and hopeful that this will continue.

This almost made me cry. A huge driving force of me having WLS was so we could #1 conceive #2 have a normal, healthy pregnancy for me and baby.

I'm so elated for you, and I can't wait until my periods even out. They've been scattered since surgery, but my surgeon and PCP told me with the stress, and the deployment, it's going to take some time for them to regulate. We'll be trying late April-May of next year.
