I am sorry your having trouble conceiving. I too am having issues. I went to an RE which is a dr who specializes in infertility. He is helping is try to have another baby. I have a low reserve and dont ovulate in my own so I am in a real time crunch as well, even though I am young. There is a FB group for women ttc after wls if you would like to join, its secret so no can see that your in the group. Let me know if you want to join. I would say to go see an RE to figure out if there is any problems and then they can come up with a plan to help get you pregnant. Best of luck. :)

Yes I did. I starting "trying" at 6 month post op and it took 1 year to become pregnant. I had PCOS prior and irregular cycles. While my cycles regulated it still took months of charting OPK's and I had a loss at 8 weeks in July.  Finally I broke down and bought the ova cue fertility monitor. 2nd month after that nailed it with a positive pregnancy test. Now 12 weeks and cant wait until july.

Topic: RE: 5 weeks Pregnant

I'm 7 weeks pregnant (five weeks of gestation).  I thought that I had actually gained 2 pounds by week 6, but then I realized that I was really constipated, which is very typical in pregnancy.  Apparently, your GI track slows down so that your body can absorb more nutrients.  I realized this through several days of stool that was so difficult to pass that it created a small fistula/ tear that would bleed with BM's.

Now that I'm more regular through more water, miralax, and senna, I have actually discovered that I'm down 0.3 pounds, which is probably just in the normal weight fluctuation range anyway.

Topic: Did anyone have issues getting pregnant after surgery?

I have been given the go-ahead to try to get pregnant by my dr, my surgeron, my dietician, and my nurse (I know that I am less than a year out, but I have other health issues that are causing me to need a quick pregnancy).

 

We've been trying "officially" for about three months with no luck. I thought the general conclusion was that after surgery you are insanely fertile and can basically look at sperm and get pregnant?? I just had another negative pregnancy test this morning. Was hoping for a Christmas miracle.

So, my question is, are there any of you that have had issues or are currently having issues getting pregnant after surgery? 

I have been tested for pcos in the past, and I don't have that. I do/did have thickened endometrial lining which caused precancerous cells in my uterous. i have been biopsied every 3-6 months and no more pre cancerous cells. I'm not on hormones anymore (or any drugs, just my vitamins).

 

Help?!?!

The surgery went really well. They removed the adhesion that was indeed gluing my L ovary to my uterus. My tubes were clear and looked good. They remain my AMH amd its even lower than in feb, it wemt from .91 to .57 ;( so I have even less time than we originally thought. He said we will increase my clomid to 150mg once I get af again. I respinded well and fast to clomid but as I running out of time faster he wants to increase it to give me a better shot. I tried fremara once and I actually respond much slower to it :( Tje plan is to also add metformin to the mix. So it will be 150mg clomid, metformin, estrodiol and then the IUI followed by progesterone. Its been such a long road. I pray God blesses us very soon :) Thank you all for the support. I will keep you updated when we start up with treatment again :) Sry 4 any typos, on cell

Topic: RE: 5 weeks Pregnant

If you're experiencing morning sickness, my advice is to do/eat whatever makes it manageable.  As for when and how you'll gain weight, there is just no way to predict.  Every person, and every pregnancy are so different.  I'm on my third pregnancy and no two have been alike as far as when I gained weight.  With my first, I didn't gain any until 24 weeks and then gained about a pound a week for a total of around 20 lbs.  With my second, I started gaining right away, but then it tapered off and I only gained 18.  With this one, I'm 27 weeks and I've already gained around 20, but it bounces up and down a lot.  Nutritionally, I was not strict with any of the three, so who knows what is responsible for the differences.  Either way, you'll be fine.  You're probably super bloated and uncomfortable right now, normal.  Yes, it is scary to watch the scale go up, but rest assured, that is scary for all women, not just us WLS folks!  Good luck, and congratulations!

Topic: 5 weeks Pregnant
Hi,

I am almost 3 years out from Rny. I am currently 5 weeks pregnant and freaking out. Freaking out in a happy way and also because I am deathly afraid of gaining weight beyond my control again. I do not want to end up how i was before. I already feel myself eating more and getting off track. I find that I am more hungry than normal and not satisfied eating an apple- the carbs make me feel better with naseau etc. I have already gained 1.6pounds in 5 weeks....could it just be bloating? because I feel extremley uncomfortable as well. Please let me know your weight gain pattern...is it normal to gain this early out?

thanks so much
