fertility treatment questions!

[namaji 0]

I am 10 months post-op and I got the ok to get pregnant. I am so nervous about this working and I really need someone to talm to about this. I started clomid 2/4. I had 2 ultrasounds done on the 2nd u/s they found 4 large follicles on the left and 5 on the right. I did my trigger shot 2/16 and believe I ovulated 2/15. I am now on my 2ww. I feel real good about it and I just feel in my heart and soul that it worked!

I have never been pregnant before so the wait is driving me crazy. One of the reason I has the surgery was to get pregnant! Has anyone gone thru this and fertility treatments not work or was it easy for u to get pregnant with fertility meds after surgery? Im going crazy I want this so bad!!!!

Oh, the 2ww is insane, no matter what treatment you had! Hugs, and try to just relax and stay positive.

We skipped right ahead from TTC for four years to IVF w/ICSI once they finally diagnosed our issues (severe MF infertility). We did one round of IVF w/ICSI before I had my VSG that resulted in our b/g twins - now five. We froze five eight cells and did a frozen embryo transfer in July that resulted in our single pregnancy this time around.

I can't say the weight loss did anything as far as my comfort or ease getting pregnant, though I know that they say fertility increases and pregnancy is easier when we're smaller. I got pregnant at over 200 pounds with twins and didn't have any serious complications or concerns. I got pregnant this time at 139 pounds.

But I am definitely pregnant via fertility treatments after VSG and it did work on the first attempt again.

Good luck and again, try to stay positive. It's easy to make yourself crazy while you're waiting to test. Read as many success stories as you can and hang in there.

Thank u so much for your story. yes the 2 week weight has been insane! I want this so badly, that it is making me even more crazy. So you would say that you're getting pregnant so easily have a lot to do with your fertility treatment as well as your surgery? I really believe that this is going to work I know I ovulated but I just want to make sure that I didn't miss that window. With me having so many follicles on both sides of the ovaries I know 1 of them had to released.

So have u had your baby yet or still pregnant? I would give anything to have that experience!

I guess all I'm really saying is that for me, at least, (probably because our main fertility issues were related to my husband) that my success was the same before and after surgery.

But if your fertility was part of the issue, it's reasonable to hope that weight loss could improve your fertility and that you'll have a better outcome this time. Just stay positive and don't drive yourself nuts testing too early!

I'm due in just over four weeks. Hopefully you'll have a success on your early attempts and have this experience for yourself soon.

Good luck and keep us posted!
