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!!

I had a PCOS surprise baby 14 years ago after going super low carb and losing 60 pounds. I was convinced I had a hangover that lasted 3 weeks from drinking 2 glasses of wine! :)

Congratulations!

@@KeeWee congratulations! How exciting! Wishing you a smooth pregnancy and an easy delivery.

Ladies if you have POSTS the sleeve is a miracle "cure". I am proof. I was diagnosed in my late teens and struggled infertility since my husband and I started trying for a child in 2006. It took 3 years of fertility drugs and procedures to finally end up with our son. He was a miracle. We soon came to the realization that he would be an only child and we were "OK" with that. Fast forward to Nov 2012. I got sleeved at a whopping 300 lbs. I lost quickly and look and behold the 1st month after surgery i started my cycle! Most women dread this, but not me. I was thrilled that I might be normal and actually feel like a women. As the months passed and my monthly visitor became a perfectly timed occurrence, we started discussing the possibility of trying for another. Went to the OBAMA and has ultrasound to see if I has cyst and there were NONE! Only scars from old ones. We discussed fertility drugs with her and she suggested we try unassisted for 6 MO the before we start them. Uuuggghh, I just knew that I was wasting 6 months because there was no way it was going to be that easy. Hahaha jokes on me. First month of trying, boom I got a positive on a home pregnancy test. What!?!? Blood test confirmed the positive. This was real. my OB immediately scheduled me for ultrasound (since she was just as amazed as I was and due to advanced maternal age 35 and pcos there were other factors that put me in a high risk category). My husband and I go and ultrasound shows a healthy 7 week pregnancy to TWINS!!!!!! OMG. So yes I have 11 month old twins, have hit my goal weight and am maintaining perfectly. Praying for all of you to have similar success. This surgery has changed my life. Not just weight and physical health but mental health (although with a 5 year old and a set of 11 month old twins my mental health status is questionable! :) )

I tell my surgeon every time I see him "Thank you for giving me my life back". Miracles do happen and prayers are answered. If any of you have any questions about pregnancy and the sleeve please do not hesitate to ask.
