How long to get pregnant



Recommended Posts

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 :)

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

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......

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.

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.

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...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
