One Year Out And Pregnant!

I am over the moon! I have PCOS, and have struggled with infertility for years. I have an almost 6 year old daughter, and tried unsuccessfully for 2 years to have another child, before having my VSG surgery. I was one year post op 8/24/12, and I just found out today that I am pregnant! This was the first month we tried since my surgery, and I was only on 50 mg a day of clomid (I have been on up to 300 mg a day in the past). I have no words for how ecstatic, and terrified, I am. Please keep me in your prayers, and I will do the same for all of you!

Congratulations!! I haven't been on the site in a while and wanted to check in. I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant!!!! Our stories were pretty similar, we tried for about 2 years before my sleeve surgery with no luck. Now, 1 year post-op, I'm pregnant! How has it been for you the past couple months? Have you been feeling well?

Congratulations Kirstin and Kristina. It's the stories on this thread that helped me decide to go for surgery. We will start trying as well at the one year mark. But I haven't had the surgery yet. Best of luck to you both!

I am 35 and never been pregnant you ladies give me hope!!!! Congrats to the both of you!!! I would like to know what Birth Control did your doctors prescribe before surgery???

This is so great!!! I'm getting sleeved in December then plan to get Prego after my weight loss!! I'm excited to follow your success and excitement!!! Thanks so much for posting!!

Hello! I have not been on here in a while so thought I would update. I was 15 weeks yesterday, things are progressing well. I had a VERY rough first trimester, lots of nausea and vomiting. I started taking zofran around week 9 which has helped a lot but not completely. I feel a little better every day though. I weighed 171 the day I found out I was pregnant, then lost 7 lbs (down to 164) from all the sickness and food aversion; I seriously coudn't stomach the thought of eating! Now that I am feeling better and eating again, I have put 4 lbs back on, making me 168 lbs today. So I am still down 3 lbs at the 15 week mark, but baby seems to be doing just fine. Good luck to all of you, can't wait to hear your success stories soon!

Congrats to you!!! I'm 6 months post op and 13 weeks pregnant! I too have/had PCOS and was told I would never conceive....well....it was definitely the weight holding me back. Baby is healthy, I am fine!! I haven't been sick or had any cravings. I have lost more weight and the docs don't want that. HW was 283, today I'm 186 (almost at goal) We are very happy! Best wishes to everyone!!!
