Hi All

So.... I might be pregnant. And am only 5 months post op. I am on birth control and trying my best to keep things slow in the bedroom but it still has happened.

My major question is if anyone else had fallen pregnant this soon after surgery and been okay?

It does not matter if anyone has or has not been okay, as it really is individual , the rules to wait till 12 months + post are there for a reason due to the increased risk of miscarriages and premature births.That is a fact, Some people have had healthy babies, some have ended up with babies on the special care unit, and some babies did not make it at all. anecdotal evidence is not going to help you.

Hopefully someone who has had a healthy pregnancy under 12months will be able to help you

Congratulations , contact your surgeon/DR asap so they can monitor you through this process, give you an eating plan etc and for anyone else reading they say losing weight increases your fertility so it is important to have a suitable plan in place things do just happen like you said OP , some people are just super fertile which is understandable after this boost of weightloss! Get yourself to the DR as soon as you can All the best on this possible new journey.

Thank you I appreciate that. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow so we will get things sorted I'm sure. This was not my plan or intention but if this is what is meant to be then so be it. I know I did put barriers in place to prevent it and it still happened so I don't know what else to think or do besides wowza

Some things are really meant to be and no matter what you put in place, if it will happen it will. I believe that. Keep us posted!!! You have lost alot of weight. I got pregnant after 2 weeks doing a liquid diet after I decided to stop trying HAHAH ( this was before wls days, my first, I was not expecting it ) the rapid weight loss does something

I actually am not sure where those stats came from... I have lost more than that started my journey at 380 and am now 248 (lost 50lbs prior to surgery though)

So not sure whose stats those are but yea lol
