For all you ladies with PCOS,  1) How many developed regular cycles after weight loss/WLS? 2) How many got pregnant after WLS when before you had difficultly? 3) How many accidently got pregnant because you didn't think you could? Thanks. Kolleen RNY 11-27-06 down 72 lbs

Hey Kolleen!  I'll play... 1) How many developed regular cycles after weight loss/WLS?  I did...went from zero cycles a year (unless medically induced with Provera and even that had MINIMAL results) to a  36 day cycle with ovulation.  2) How many got pregnant after WLS when before you had difficultly?  Me again!  DH & I tried for 8 years to get pregnant.  My body just refused to kick out an egg.  I took Clomid up to 200mg with no response...tried a round of injectables (Repronex) & got 1 egg, did the IUI thing and still didn't get pregnant.  Then I had RNY WLS, waited 12 months (was on the patch), took the patch off...and walla...had cycles.  After 3 months of monitoring we went au natural and boom...pregnant our first month not using protection.  Now...I'm on the 5 year plan (IUD). 3) How many accidently got pregnant because you didn't think you could?  Not an accident here...I wanted to get pregnant SOOOOOOO bad.  I was charting my temps so I knew when I was ovulating. Good luck!! Kristy

Congrats! Isn't motherhood wonderful?

1.  Just starting to cycle on my own (four months since RNY...80 lbs gone) 2.  Taking depo-provera to prevent that.... 3.  PRE-WLS: Got pregnant after losing 40 lbs almost two years ago (didn't figure it out til I was 7 MONTHS along...three docs had said would NEVER happen) so I know it's possible
