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.

Best wishes to you. I am sure someone has these issues and can help you.

Hi LagueritaChula.....

Your story is similar to mine, I been trying for 18

Months..and nothing, I also did 2 rounds of clomid, I dont any kids, either my husband, and I'm preop right now, my surgery is Jan 13, 2014

I was dianosed with pcos when i was 19, and then i was on birth control for 10 yrs, now im 31, almost 32 in march...and wanting to have a little baby so bad, I'm planning on waiting at least 6 months before I start ttc again, so Jun/Jul ...

of course all depends on how much im eating by then, and how much I lost....my husband is 43...

When is your surgery?

How long after are you planning to start ttc?

Linda- thankyou.

MJM- I dont have a surgery date yet im in process of completing a couple classes and should have a surgery date of late february or early march. I am like you and plan to start trying to conceive 6 months postop. I know they say not to but so many people have and been completly fine. I just hope it happens for us. My daughter asks me all the time for a brother or sister and even says mommy ill help you take care of it and it just breaks my heart that ive been trying and not been able to. I cry myself to sleep sometimes and I try not to fall into a depression by being grateful for the child I do have. But there is always an empty place for another baby. I hope this surgery helps us both.

Thank you, Laguerita, please let's keep in touch, so we can go they this journey together n then ttc ahh so much fun lol...I can wait to be pregnant!

But first thing first, lets get mami healthy n sexy first lol for.some awesome baby making lol

Your right!!i cant wait to put ona little sexy outfit for the bedroom and feel sexy. It will make for some awesome babymaking lol.

Omg, I just had my last appt today with the surgeon, before surgery on monday, and he say I can start trying after 8 months yayyy

Hi ladies first I want to say prayers and best wishes to you both. I had vsg about 6 mos ago the best decision I ever made, my highest 397 now 83 lbs lighter yay I'm so much better. It was something I had to do for myself and for my future to hopefully one day have children. I was diagnosed with PCOS at age of 17 and it's been rough. All I have ever wanted was a family. Today I am on my 3 rd day first round of Clomid praying it works. So ladies once again I pray baby blessings to you both and hopefully soon I can report great news. Be blessed gg

Omg, congrats hazel eyes,and thank you for the prayers, and I will start praying for you too....

I can wait to start to ttc .... My surgery is Monday Jan 13, 2014. Im so excited, and I know God is in control!

I forgot to write, that I too was diagnosed with pcos when I was 18.

And I was clomid for 2 months a year ago, but with my weight, it was impossible.

I hope you all are able to conviece!! And goodluck on your surgery tomarrow!!! Keep us posted!

Thank you for the well wishes..the hospital stay was like a 75 % good...but when I compared myself to be alive n moving n feeling a lot better, then that 25% dissapears lol

It was a 2 night stay ....no nausea, no dizziness, but excruciating pain for the next 24 hours following the Surgery, due to wrong pain medication n pee on myself like 7 times while I was in the recovery room....but hey again im so thankful to my Lord Jesus, to give me the opportunity to have this Surgery n help me thru every pain, thru every tear..

Even with everything that I went thru I dont regret this Surgery at all...and im so happy, right now I feel like 10 garbage truck hit me, all at once, but all is good because im home with God hubby

words of warning lol.

I have had pcos for years. its been almost 8 years since I needed birth control cause I couldn't get pregnant. I do have one fertility treatment baby and we as a couple decided that weight loss would be a better option for another. so I have the sleeve last feb 19th and well when they say it will be super easy to get pregnant it is. I was 3 months out and was having trouble losing weight so they took me off the pill and told me to use other protection. one time without and we are having a baby girl in march. I only had lost 65lbs at that point, so it doesn't take much to make your fertility go way up. I thought they were full of it when its said only a 5% lose is needed lol but guess they were right. so yes ladies stick with the plan and do what they tell you and soon hopefully it will work out for you. great news is most of my pcos symptoms are gone as well. I will say don't get pregnant so soon out from surgery as it has been one scary ride. good luck

I have PCOS and i have a 6 year old, we tried for 4 years to have another baby before i had my surgery with no luck. ^ months out from my surgery, and on BC i got pregnant. I am currently 24 weeks along. my doctor said that they are trying to get the sleeve surgery passed as a treatment for PCOS because it is so effective. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you got pregnant quite quickly after you have lost some of the weight.

Hey mjm wondering how.you are doimg with your sleeve?? Im scheduled.for march 18 so not too much longer. Update us please!!

Hello laguerita...I'm great thank God...actually I just about...getting my first period...on my own! Im so happy n thankful, I always need it progesterone or bc pills to get my period to come...

Im now getting my period, no more diabetes n the reason number one why I had this surgery was, BC of extremely high blood pressure and im now officially off bp medication, after 12 long yrs taking meds.. I praise God!!

Im now 40 lbs off 27 of those po in 6 weeks.

I did have some trouble vomiting n not being able to eat or drink...not even my own saliva..after 4 weeks...went Dr. and I had to be hospitalized for 2 days...bc my stomach was bending or narrowing right at the middle, n was not letting anything pass down at all....so they did an endoscopy n dilated my stomach with a ballon for 20 minutes..and of course I was under general anesthesia for the process..when I woke they gave me Water n it went down right away n since then I been feeling great...

and I hope my baby is in a near future

Good luck with your surgery n I will be praying for you...everything will be fine...

I will be here for any questions and support
