So I have been trying to conceive for over 18 months now. I do have one child who is four. After the birth of my daughter I had implanon implant placed in my arm. Had it for the full 3 years they say its good for. And started ttc after it was removed. Have had no such luck whatsoever and was recently diagnosed with pcos and put on metformin and spironolactone to deal with hormonal imbalance . I guess im just looking to see if anyone was in my situation and found that after surgery they were able to conceive naturally with out medication. Oh, and I have also done like 5 rounds of clomid with no luck. I guess im just looking for the little light at the end of this dark depressing tunnel.

I can't answer your question directly, but I can tell you this was one of the reasons I opted for the surgery. My partner and I were TTC since October 2012. Did 6 rounds of IUI with clomid, HCG injectable and progesterone suppositories...... We did get pregnant December 2012 but I miscarried in February of 2013. After THOUSANDS of dollars, millions of tears and a whole lot of heartache, we decided it was better for me to get the weight off first and then try to conceive (I just turned 40 so waiting is kinda scary).

Wow im so sorry!!

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 20. Not a shock cause I never had AF on my own ever. I have most symptoms of it-obesity, high blood pressure, depression, excess facial hair, etc. I have met on meds for years. I take provera to induce AF 3-4 times per year. I got pregnant on IVF injectables. Clomid did not even make me ovulate. I now have 7 year old boy girl twins. If someone who has no periods can get pregnant, there's hope for you. I had a lapband 5 years ago and it was a disaster. I have been WL for surgery for almost 16 months now. I am leaning towards the sleeve.

Congrats on your twins!! I always wanted twins. Im hoping after surgery ill have better luckk..

I was diagnosed with PCOS 14 yrs ago. Took metformin for a long time. Switched birth control pills so many times. Lost weight, gained weight and was infertile. After a long time my body stopped responding to metformin. They upped it to 1000mg 3x a day and added spironolactone. I was taking pre natals at the time to try & grow my hair for my wedding. I was pregnant the next month. I delivered my daughter over my 31st bday.

I was kept on metformin through pregnancy and on weight gain restriction. I was off the meds after pregnancy and losing weight and doing well until i had implanon in my arm. I gained all my weight back, acne returned, hair started thinning and I went back on everything.

I had enough and wanted a permanent solution. I'm 3 wks post op Monday, doc warned me that I'll be super fertile and pregnancy is not recommended for 2 yrs.

I left the hospital off all meds! Knock on wood, still no acne
