on my own! I have never been pregnant in my life! I got married in 2004 ( no bc) and we tried to get pregnant for so long with so many unsuccessful cycles we just gave up! I did the HSG test, endometrial biopsy all that! My paps were always normal.

I could never qualify for IUI because of my diabetes--insulin resistance--I did opk after opk...It just never worked out! My ovaries gear up to ovulate but never actually do! My hormones including hypothyriod (low thyroid) is just all over the place!

I hope with the surgery I can begin to get back in the normal range of blood sugar/hormones and my weight!

I wanna beat this pcos syndrome! Im tired of the mood swings and anxiety! I sometimes feel bitter and resentful because I cannot become pregnant as easily as all the other women in my life! To them it comes like clockwork! For me...NOT at all!

So I am hoping/praying/ putting my hands(life) into the surgeons hands....

I am hoping that all of us pcos gals can attain all our wants and needs---cheers to a healthier lifestyle and a NEW lease on life!

Hugs to you all!

Have a great night!

I wish you lots of luck. But also, fate. I know of so many people like you who gave up and then the miracle happened. Concentrate on your health and your relationship. It will happen when it is not your mayor focus.

I have had problems with being irregular and pcos. I was sleeved and not even a week later I got my period. Which I usually only got 2 times a year. So I am happy that this might open up new things.

Never thought I would receive my period so fast' date='[/quote']

It just takes a move of focus. You will be pregnant before you know. Relax, enjoy and it will happen

Hello there, I also have PCOS and have had two children. For years the doctors had me on metformin which helped with the insulin resistance but caused me to develop neuropathy in both of my legs. I do have two children but it took us 9 years to conceive the second. It wasn't until I lost a lot of weight that my cycle returned to normal at least long enough to conceive our second child. I feel for you because I know how hard it is to fight weight with PCOS, we do have it twice as hard and the hormone problem doesn't help. Due to your insulin resistance your body is constantly producing insulin which in turn keeps your appetite high and you graze most of the time. I controlled my weight pretty successfully with Metformin but stopped it when I found out that is caused the nerve damage in both my legs. Needless to say once I stopped taking it my weight spiraled out of control once again. Well my friend, I was sleeved May 29th and I have lost 26 lbs so far and I can tell you that this horrible feeling having to eat all of the time dissipated completely. This surgery was my only and last hope to life a normal life. I wish you the best and my prayers are with you.

Have you seen a fertility specialist? I was diagnosed with PCOS 14 years ago, I am 39. My periods started being abnormal at age 16. 4 years after I was married, we decided to try to get pregnant. I knew something was wrong, because I didn't periods, so I went to my Dr. He referred me to a fertility Dr, who put me on Clomid. Clomid stimulates your ovaries so they release the eggs. I was able to get pregnant 4 months later, and again 4 years later. I now have two kids, age 7 and 11. It can be done, you just need some help, and the right Dr to guide you.

Yes, I have...because of my type 2 diabetes they wont do the IUI process...hopefully with the sleeve it will jumpstart my fertility once again!

6/26/13 is my sleeve date!

I'm 45 got diagnosed at 22 yrs old.Back then pcos was very new.Doctors had no clue how to treat.Been married 25 yes no kids.I've tryed clomid for 6 months in my 20s ,no success.I also very upset cause all my friends was having them with no trouble. I learned to accept the fact of being childless.Even on clomid I never ovaluted. Now I'm 45 going thru process of vsg.Haven't thought about getting pregnant in yes and I don't want kids this late in life(which probably wouldn't happen) but just in case I'll get something to prevent it.If they had wls surgery back in those days I would have probably had no trouble getting pregnant. But it was gods will so I accepted it.What I'm trying to say kids is wonderful but if u don't have any its not the end of the world lol.I'm very happily married with no kids.Wish you all the best luck.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
