Hey guys, does anyone know when we are allowed to go back on birth control?

I went on it immediately after surgery but it didn't work. I was on the pill. I'm now 22 weeks pregnant.

I started the Nuva ring my first post op period. You're very fertile after surgery and the pill doesn't absorb after surgery so you'll need to find a different method-- patch, mirena, shot, Nuva ring... Things you don't have to swallow. Lol

I'm 48 and have a long history of infertility with PCOS. I haven't used birth control in years. Do you think I need to now? I'm just 3 weeks out.

Yes times a million!!!! You WILL become fertile again! Don't risk it!!!

Yup, just hang around and read. We current have multiple members currently pregnant who had been trying unsuccessfully for years to get pregnant and post-op found themselves pregnant within just a few months (or in 1 case, 2 weeks) of getting their RNY done....while so far they all seem to be doing well it is safer for both mom and baby to wait a year or two.

Absolutely!! You'll be extra fertile now and you want to make sure you're protected! I started Nuva Ring and I love it. I waited 3 months but probably could've started it right away.
