Okay, this question is for my ladies.

I have PCOS and 1 ovary I talked to my endroconlogist and he told me that it is still possible to get pregnant with my 1 ovary I had another appointment with my main endo and, she put me on Norethindrone 0.35 TAB and I was just wondering what other steps can I take to not get pregnant after my sleeve surgery?

I would say that you and your body are going through a lot right now. Time for any partners to step up and wear a condom.

No method is full proof ( except abstinence ?) but I agree with @ClareLynn: double up on the contraceptives with both of you taking precautions. Maybe try an implant vs an oral med in case of vomiting & how & where your pill is absorbed. Better safe than sorry.

I started taking birth control pills the week before my surgery. I had gastric bypass 2.5 weeks ago. I am thinking of switching to the arm implant because of the malabsorption for gastric bypass. I don’t know if I can trust my husband to exit the premises at the right time. Lol!!!!

Many bariatric doctors recommend implants or IUDs. Until then, use condoms in addition to your BC pills.

The same steps to take even if u didn’t have WLS : condoms, BC pills/patches, UID, vasectomy/tubal ligation, abstinence. Or any combination of the aforementioned.
