'Wasting' ovulations.......

Before I had my WLS I completely stopped ovulating and having periods. We tried for 2 years to get pregnant with no luck! I cried and cried, and was depressed for a long while. But now since I had my surgery, and I have lost 100 pounds I have my period (and ovulate) every single month on the clock. I was telling my husband that every month I feel like we are wasting my eggs and ovulation time! I know that sounds ridiculous, but it is what it is. I'm not crazy enough to try to get preg right now because I still have weight to lose and I don't want to mess with that. But some months its so hard to wait!!

Yeah, I totally know how you feel. When ever I O (or the OPK's tell me I am) and if I can't BD I get so upset thinking that it's another month wasted. So know how you feel. I know it's hard to wait t get the weight off, but trust me, it's SO worth it!!!!!

Look at it this way:  You've got to get rid of some of the old, stale eggs that were just sitting around and then when you are ready, you'll have "SuperBaby" with a nice fresh egg minted from your new skinny body!

It will be worth the wait...hang in there.

 I like your thinking.. Just wish that was how it worked.  We are given our eggs from the time we are born :(  Men get to get rid of their old dusty sperm.. but we are stuck with a certain amount of eggs that get older and older as we age :(

You're still young! You got lots of time.

Just be content with the fact that at least you know NOW that those eggs WILL be there when you're able to start trying to conceive!! YAY! It's a GOOD thing!

Have you considered taking BCPs continuously (not taking the placebos) a few months at a time so you only get your period every 3 months or so?
