PCOS pregnancy success story.



Recommended Posts

I wanted to add a short update! I had my IUD removed in March, and just yesterday got a positive test (and had blood test confirmation today). I'm currently 4 weeks pregnant. I bawled, huge, gasping-for-breath sobs, for ten minutes when I found out. We tried for so long for my daughter, and, after losing 122lbs, I got pregnant so quickly! I hope this little one sticks!

Thank you to everyone who shared their stories. My husband and I have been TTC for 3 years and 1 month. I had a tubal reversal in March 2008 shortly after our wedding. I was banded on Dec 21, 2010 and have since lost 55 pounds. Great accomplishment for 5 1/2 months! Weight loss has almost stopped over the past month though. I started at 323 lbs and my fertility doctor will not proceed with IUI or IVF until my weight at least 230, so that's another 35 lbs before fertility treatments begin. If I continued with 10 lbs a month that should bring me to OCT/NOV. Gosh I hope so. See, I'll be 40 in September and I have 2 adult children and a grandson. My husband has no biological children and we desire a family so bad. My biological clock has almost ran out. We have 2 years and 3 months before we are no longer eligible for IUI or IVF in Florida. That's pretty much the cut off date. So, it's crunch time. Time to get very serious about this weight loss, excercise and getting my overweight body ready for a pregnancy. Pray for me and send me all the baby dust you can, LOL. Thanks again for sharing and keep me posted everyone!!

I, unfortunately, ended up miscarrying 2 weeks ago, when I was 10 weeks pregnant. My body wasn't miscarrying by itself (though the baby had died), so I had to have a D&C. Hoping to start TTC soon. My dr said there was no "waiting period" after a miscarriage, just when my body was ready and I was emotionally ready. I'm hoping that getting pregnant that quickly wasn't just a fluke and we can get pregnant again!

Hi everyone. I am surely a PCOS success story. I conceived my 2 daughters suing clomid due to PCOS. I was banded in Dec. 2010, and just found out that I am 2 months pregnant and I wasn't even trying. It just happened!!! I didn't even lose much weigh since getting banded but I can tell that my body has chanded some. So, keep trying ladies!

I love hearing these stories! I lived with PCOS for many years, and just found out a few months ago that I am PCOS free! No symptoms whatsoever! :) I just got married, and my husband and I are soon ready to start trying. Even though I don't have PCOS anymore, I'm still worried that there was enough damage done during my PCOS years. My doctor doesn't think I will have a problem, but I still worry. These stories give me hope! :)

I started the process a few months ago, and I am planning to have Lap Band in November. I am 215 lbs and I feel confident (after 7 years of ttc) that after I lose the weight, I WILL get pregnant. PCOS will NOT steal my dreams any longer! I just joined this forum tonight after trying to look for other women who are going through what I am. It gets discouraging when everyone around you gets pregnant at the drop of the hat, and you are trying for YEARS without success. Us ladies just need to support one another in this journey. Best of luck to you, girl, and God bless!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
