AMAZING! 8 months POST OP and Pregnant after 17 years of trying with PCOS.

  • Popular Post

I need to share this because over a year ago, I was the one looking for post of people that were post op and finally got pregnant with PCOS. Polycystic Ovary syndrome can feel like all womanhood is gone and leave you infertile. I was diagnosed back in 2006 and never was informed to take any meds or anything just lose weight to normalize my hormones.

Well I could always lose a few pounds 10-20 but it looks like 100 lbs was my magic number because around the time I hit that milestone, I find out that I am pregnant...the real thing, not a faint line, not just feeling pregnant, all 4 test were positive and I am 3 weeks late and my husband and I are so shocked and scared at the same time so we're keeping this under wraps until the doctor says it's all good and we make it out of the 1st trimester!! It's funny because we had just decided to give up on the baby thing since our daughter is heading off to college this upcoming year, we said, it's finally our time, let's move to Cali and rekindle what the kid took for the past 17 years and then GOD says, hey, who asked me my timeline?!?!?!....lol....and now HIS work will be done on HIS time and not mine!! AMEN

We do plan on telling our moms at Christmas dinner, lets see who hits the floor first...LMAO!!!! P.S. his mom is like 20 years older than mine, my mom, will jump up and down screaming, his mom is going down...I'M SO SURE!!!! Were we wrong to seriously make that $50 bet, because we sure did!!!!!!

Good luck ladies and Happy Holidays ALL!!

OMG, this is real. I mean, I took my at home test and it was positive but I never trust those things, I always got negative test with my daughter so I was already 4 months and feeling movement by the time she was confirmed. But yesterday, it was confirmed with a sonogram and I was still floored after trying for so long, you feel like its still not real! Now once I'm holding "him"(hopefully) then I will really believe it. It feels so awkward, I want to be excited but waiting for a problem. Not good at all...I needed to know that ppl have normal healthy babies this close to surgery and after losing so much and after infertility for so long, I am having anxiety like I've never experience in my life. My husband is super excited, it's kinda sexy...lol!! Please pray for us!!

Amen his time is perfect! Congratulations! So I don't need to wait a year to try to get pregnant

It's recommended that you wait at least 12-18 months but for those trying like myself, if it happens, it happens and we are just so happy. I've done my research online and with ppl I know and it is very likely to have a healthy baby with no complications within and before that time recommended. Your body is still healing and you're still getting use to your new life and eating habits and the baby will change all that and put u in a place that may make things difficult but it's based on you and your commitment to whipping your self back into shape. Plus many say they loss more than half if not all of their pregnancy weight within 2 weeks after delivery....whew, thank goodness!! My closest friend had the surgery and was pregnant after 4 months and my god baby is healthy and beautiful!! She never even looked pregnant!

So blessed! Congratulations

Congrats!!! I am so happy for you. everything works on Gods clock!!!

I haven't had my surgery yet but After I had my daughter (7 years ago) they told me I would never have more children. It would be 1 in a million that I would be able to conceive. I went crazy trying everything, ( looking back I feel so bad for my husband having to deal with me ) I finally gave up and left it in Gods hands and 3.5 years later I had my son and 2 years after that I had my third child.
