Preop pcos ttc

Also posted this on pcos sleevers forum.

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.

Great news mjm.glad your doimg so well. Keep im touch i am on day 2 of liquid diet and it pretty much sucks but igotta do it

You can do this....after day 4 or 5 you wont be that hungry anymore...

I really hate Proteins shakes...

You do great!

So i definatly have NOT been hungry whatsoever!!. I am on day 9 of preop liquid diet with 4 days till surgery. I havenot been able to get all my shakes down they say i need 4 shakes a day and ive only been getting 2 down. My weight loss stopped even thought i havent been eating anything at all. Called surgeon office and was told i had to.get at least 4 shakes.down and my weightloss will start back up. Ive lost 10lbs

Oh you are doing great! at least drink 3....I know soon after surgery you will hate all shakes, but just do your best....

Remember to walk, as soon as you can after surgery, it will help a lot with the pain from gas...I bought gas x, but in my case I don't think it help at all, also buy some miralax n a week after surgery you can start driking it, cuz you will be very constipated, so that way you are ahead of the game, trust me you don't want to push with stiches in your stomach...

Sip sip your ounces slowly (water) ;)

I know I need to wait at least a year since I am just a week post op I can't wait and I am so happy for you . Did you do any ovulation kits at all ? What did ur surgeon say when you told him lol

How did you do it MJM!!! Im so excited for you!! Wish I could get my bfp:(

Yayy your back, lagueritachula, how you feeling hun?

Im excited, but I have to see my surgeon face this friday, oh God!! Im scared lol he told me to wait at 8 months, clearly no 3 and half lol

I pray for this miracle for so many yrs, im still don't know what to do,with myself! Im so happy that im sad:( my emotions are everywhere! But ppl tell me is normal, I been eating a little more than usual after I found out, they said pregnancy hormones relax the stomach a little bit, and thats why today i was able to eat a whole 1 dollar slice of pizza, I said the prize cuz that means a way smaller than a regular slice lol

Im feeling great so far, Thank God!

But im only 4 weeks 4 days

im a bit concern about gaining weight, but the miracle inside of me right now, is worth everything.

Dont feel bad, and make sure you use some protection, cuz this surgery for sure it works, lol

To tell you the thruth my husband and I, never use protection, not even before or after surgery, we just said, Lord put in there when is the right time.

And please for anybody else reading this post in the future, im not advicing anyone to do what I did, but that was my husband and decision.

my body only needed 2 cycles to regulate and boom!

I know I will see you post sometime very soon about your pregnancy, in the name of Jesus!

I lost 60 in 3 months, I need to loose another 60, I hope to loose at another 40 while pregnant, I mean like litle by little and walking and drink a lot of Water.

before I got pregnant, my surgeon did, my 3 months blood work, and he is going to give the results on friday, I can't wait to see how is body doing.

Hi, I'm from San Pedro de Macoris :) I came to NYC when I was 10 yrs old.

I did use first response Opk, I wasn't sure when i got them positive, if my body was doing what it was supposed to be doing, you know how pcos is...and after that we only did it twice that cycle during my fertile window, I wasn't even sure if i was ovulating for sure, and I stayed in bed after sorry tmi but I didnt go to pee after. I know yuck, I just clean in bed, somebody told no to pee after, so i pee before.

I had my positive 8 days before my period, that is extremely early, n I couldn't believe it, so the next i went to clinic and pay 35 dollars for a same day results and it was positive.

Be ready cuz, your miracle is coming soon!

God bless you.

omg really! the world is to small, i am from the same city well my parents i was born in ny in the heights ! lol my last name is Echavarria idk you might know my family lol, anyway that's great , when i start trying to conceive i am going to use ovulating kits to see when my fertile days . you are really giving me hope that it will happen for me too. i cant wait ! my only worry is that my husband has low sperm count but that was 2 years ago idk if it went up but i mean all i need is one right lol kepp me posted on how you are doing hun? did the doc say to keep taking metformin ? i heard that helps to prevent miscarriages
