How long to get pregnant

Hi everyone.

I'm about 7 months out. 70# gone so far (in the midst of a pretty long stall, however...) and hubby and I would like to try for a baby. I know I'm a tad early, but doctor believes I will be ok. Anyways, my question is: how many months of trying (or not trying) did it take you to get pregnant?

Thanks :)

  • She stated in her post that the doctors cleared her to get pregnant. I think what she was asking was how long did it take people to get pregnant when they were trying... Not how far out from surgery.

Look through a search for old posts. I know that we've had a few pregnant on purpose sleevers in the past.

Many many oops pregnant ladies too.

I think it also has to do w/ stopping birth control & your hormone levels.

May want to get some bloodwork done to see how the baby makers doing.

allons-y

I am still in the prep stages to get VSG but my doctor stated to me to try wait at least 12 months after surgery

I'm just over 2 months post op and my doc told me to wait 18 months!

Me too. He said that I could at 12 months post op but it would be healthiest for me and baby to wait 18 months......

First month off of birth control it happened(birth control doesn't work with my body the way it is suppose to, long story). Mind you both presleeved babies were fertility treatment babies. I became pregnant at 6 months out down 90lbs. Good luck hun.

I am done having kids but when I got off b/c (mirena) it took about 4 months. I used ovulation strips, and then it happened. Good luck!

Oh wow!!!

Oh wow is right!!! Lol this was def not in our plans but apparently was in Gods perfect plan... its REALLY hard... I cant eat like anything and since you aren't allowed deli meat while pregnant I am having a really tricky time finding things my pouch will accept PLUS I am super sick all the time. This is our 3rd baby and by far the hardest pregnancy.

Omg I don't think anyone wants to be in your shoes.

Which month are you in

Thats why i had the sleeve surgery to have a baby...Im four months post op right now...

Dr mentioned for me to "wait' till 12 months to NOT mess up my weightloss...but pregnancies happen very easily post op due to the rapid weightloss and crazy hormones...

Just keep on top of your Vitamins and minerals just in case your birthcontrol doesnt protect like it should...

Im not on BC pills...we use condoms---BORING...Im 38 years old I cannot wait much long...ya feel me LOL me and hubby have NO kids and want kids so badly...

Omg I don't think anyone wants to be in your shoes.
