Dx With Pcos, Have Been Trying For 15 Years After My First Born. Anyone With Infertility Issues Become Pregnant After Surgery? Details Please

I had one child in '98 about a year off the Depo shot. Since then I've had hormone issues and what seems to be a never ending period that can last anywhere from 3 days up to 8 months at one time. It's the worst because my husband and I always wanted another after our first.

Some say they got pregnant surprisingly, unexpectedly and immediately after surgery...any good stories to share?? I'd like some glimmer of hope...

Thanks in advance!!

I feel much better. They did my sleeve and hernia repair and boy did I feel like carp on day 1and 2 but today I feel great. No pain other than the drain that I still have in and no problems drinking, slight gas pains, no nausea or vomiting, no problems swallowing. Still uncomfortable laying down but its a beautiful day out so I'm strolling.

Didn't like having to administer the heparin shots or dumping my own.drain daily...yuck but I'm use to it now. I can't believe I lost 12 lbs from admission til now tho...wow.

Hey yall. I haven't been on here in forever. RNY has turned me into a fertile Myrtle. I got pregnant again 4 months after having my 2nd son while on bright control and exclusively breastfeeding. I had my 3rd son 2 weeks ago! So I now have a 15yr old, 13m old and a 2w old. I did gain 50lbs with the last pregnancy but lost 38 in 2 weeks! God is good! I am so blessed and thankful. post-197289-14193744364498_thumb.jpgpost-197289-14193744511007_thumb.jpg

You should be fine. Every doc and OB recommends diff things but I took folic acid and prenatals 2x a day. I did have severe anemia with the 2nd baby which required 3x week iron infusions and hypoglycemia, which was solved with eating every 2hours. That all went away after I had him.

Hi, I am specifically looking to hear from anyone over 40 and their experience with trying to get pregnant and any complications they had due to age/surgery. I just turned 43 and suddenly thinking about another child... Between my age and the surgery, I may have to rethink the whole thing. I would appreciate anyone's input that went through a pregnancy after 40 and after gastric sleeve.

Thanks!!

My niece had bypass in april this year and had pcos. After 15 years of not getting pregnant she is now about 8 weeks pregnant! I found out a day before her that I'm pregnant too at 6 months post-op from the sleeve. I'm 42 and had been trying since my last daughter was born in 2011.

Hi, did you have any complications with your pregnancy? I am 43 and thinking of trying again.

I did. I had bad anemia, which required 3x week iron infusions. I also had hypoglycemia which was easily taken care of by eating small meals every 2 hours. Besides that I had no issues with either pregnancy.
