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

I am almost 8 months. I met with my ob/gyn and told her I wanted to start trying at the end of the year and she thought that was fine. Then when I had my 6 or 7 month follow up at my surgeon's office, she suggested I use some form of bc since I wasn't on the pill (we use condoms right now) and "we don't want you getting pregnant... but I mean, if you do, you do and we will work with you". So I take that to mean that yes it would affect my weightloss but I think I would be ok since I can eat 4oz at a meal and eat 1200 calorie a day.

Sorry that was a long response lol but just my 2 cents

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.

I thought I was the only one that happened to. My first pregnancy was a breeze, this one is kicking my butt.

I had infertility issues for over 11 years of being married , I have several infertility treatments , due to hormonal imbalances and pcos , I was told it would be hard for me to get pregnant . I went in for surgery on 1/18/12 hoping this would be my last option. I got pregnant 7 months later , after losing 75+ pound . Sadly I miscarried at 9wks , but I had not given up hope , a month later I was pregnant again which I have now given birth to 4 months ago. I am glad to say that I'm truly blessed after 11 years of trying.

I just found this video of a woman that got pregnant 4months post op. It is pretty informative. Doesn't sound like its a good idea --- and sounds like the only reason she thinks it is working is be ause she plateaued at 155/160 beforehand.
