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.

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. :)

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

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.

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
