A little late to the party, but I wanted to chime in that I also have pcos. The chance of losing weight and gaining fertility is the sole reason why I'm getting this surgery. I can't even imagine having a cycle that happens naturally much less like clockwork! Rofl, the things that gets us excited, right? :D

Clomid will definately help out, just have to be patient and follow doctors orders. It sometimes takes our bodies a lot longer to get with the program.. Each of us are different. I too myself have been diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 18. It has been a rollercoaster ride for the last 22yrs. Extra hair, weight problems, hormones all over the place. Not a fun life , this is the second reason I have finally decided to have this surgery. I want to finally get my finesse back and be healthy and in a few years finally start a family.

So keep the faith and just give your body and mind time to regroup and fall into its own pattern. One more thing constantly worrying and stressing about it will surely delay a menestraul cycle.. Relax it will happen.

And total I only lost 21lbs. my weight loss has me concerned about pcos. hopefully the weight will start coming off now that I started at the gym.

I wanted to add my two cents. Prior to surgery, I had PCOS and infertility. My periods were never consistent, days varied....if they came at all. Went years without using chemical birth control, no pregnancies.

Fast forward to a year post op...periods come like clockwork, down to the time of day I start. I take zero meds for PCOS management.

Best of all, I got pregnant the first month we "tried", no outside help needed!

So yes, if fertility is your goal...

I have PCOS. One of the main reasons for getting the surgery.

I have PCOS and it was the reason for my weight gain, I tried everything including eating air and I still couldn't lose weight, I am coming In to my ninth month post surgery and I am 4 kilos to goal weight yay, I still don't get my period though only had it once since surgery, but planning on baby number two hopefully it doesn't take 7 years to fall this time with the added help of the weight loss.

I have severe PCOS and haven't had a period since my early teens and I just turned 30. I'm hoping with this surgery I will lose weight and start to cycle, even though the thought of that kind of grosses me out, because I really want to have a baby. I'm hoping the surgery will help make that happen.

Well i just found out im pregnant which is funny cause i had severe pcos and took fertility meds to have my last child. This time we didnt even try it just happened with no help. So vs will help u get to a weight where a baby is possible. Good luck ladies.

Had to fertility babies before my surgery and the last round unsuccessful. They wouldn't do anything more until I lost a tin of weight. Finally decided on the surgery and now I'm pregnant (earlier than I should be). I've lost a total of 98 lbs. Ovid was my fertility issue. However, ours not anymore! I still suffer from the hair growth but the major part has been resolved. :)

Nothing I just take 4 adult chewable Vitamins, try to get in fluids, and just hang on for the ride lol. I'm labeled high risk just because of the surgery. But really not doing anything different. I'm struggling with Fluid intake, my stomach hurts with the nausea, its not so bad now. This is very different from my other pregnancies. :) but my next ultrasound is August 23rd.

I love my doc. She said same as the other person's i'm high risk cause of the surgery but with the sleeve very few complications happen. She said i will have a few more ultrasounds than normal to make sure baby is growing and if baby is on track then no worries if baby is small i have to try to up calories. I also had to have blood work and they tested everything one could imagine to make sure my Vitamin levels r on track. I also take extra folic acid cause thats the one ur body has trouble absorbing now. Otherwise she said as long as ur out of the drastic weight lose phase that i will be healthier this pregnancy and don't worry cause baby will take from u first.
