so... i dont want to wait a year now

Ok.. if you wanna tell me "your supposed to wait a year" i dont want to hear it... I get that surgeons want you to wait a year. =)

I want to get pregnant now. Its 6 months after surgery I'm down like 80 lbs and I don't want to wait another 6 months to start trying.

My husband and I have been married for 4 years, together for 5. For the first time in our relationship he has started to talk about really wanting to get pregnant and starting our family. We tried for all of those years btw.. including a few months on clomid.

So hear I am thinking.. do I ask my surgeon? Cuz if he says to wait.. well what happens if I dont wait? is he going to be upset at me?

I have lost more weight in 6 months than most are able to loose in a year, and much more than my own surgeon expected of me.

I've heard so many ppl who did "oops" get pregnant.. and they did fine and things were great.

So whats 6 months u ask? well.. considering I still am not ovulating and I've been through the process before.. it takes at lesat a couple months even to get going with a good fertility doctor and on meds for it.... plus this being the 2nd round.. im sure they will want to test other things instead of assuming its because of PCOS.

My brother is now expecting #2.. my best friend is trying to get prego for #2.. everyone we know has small children. We are like the childless couple in our little ring of friends.. and anyone who has been in my shoes knows how bad that is. Not to mention both of our parents are getting very old.. and both of us want our children to at least remember their grandparents.

I am ready now.. I want this now. 80 lbs is a huge accomplishment.. yes i know i could loose more if i wait.. but honestly that isnt what I want right now yes thats crazy.. but right now I want to start a family.

Anyways.. had to get it off my chest. thanks for listening to my rambles

I feel your pain. We went for years being the only ones without a child in our circle of friends, family, and acquaintances. It totally sucked.

4 miscarriages and 7 long years later, along came our beautiful son Dylan. He is such a miracle for us.

I say do what you feel is right in your heart. I wish you all of the luck in the world!
