Hello all I was banded on 2/6/09, I weighed 345lbs before my surgery and am down to 250! I'm 5'10 so I'm still above where I should be. The whole reason I got the band besides to get healthy was because of my PCOS and the fact that my husband and I want a baby so badly. I'm 32 years old and don't want to wait that much longer. I'm currently on birth control and am just wondering about other peoples PCOS banding stories. I have an appt with my endocrinologist on Jan, 8th to come off birth control and am hoping to start clomid in March. How long after stopping the pill did any of you get a BFP? Any stories would help! Thanks

I had been on the pill for a little over 10 years. I came off the pill July 2006 and found out I was pregnant August 2006 (Before surgery) I was 214 when I got pregnant. Then I went back on the pill and off it April 2009. Found out I was pregnant May 2009 at 195 then I miscarried a week later. I gained weight tried again June 2009 and found out I was pregnant July 2009 at 207 pounds. I am 5'3''. My husband likes to joke that he has super sperm lol. I know that it isn't easy for everyone to get pregnant right away so don't get discouraged...just have fun trying :thumbup: Also my doctor had me start folic acid before trying or you could start prenatals before trying. It's good for you and for the baby you will conceive! Don't look at it like it's work...have fun. Try new things, have sex often and just enjoy it!!! I'm around if you ever need to chat or have any questions!!! Good luck and have FUN!!!
