Guest guest Posted October 1, 1999 Report Share Posted October 1, 1999 You should look for a doctor and have a blood test and a pelvic. False positives are not uncommon in women with PCOS, as they pick up some of the extra hormone. Pregnancy post-WLS doesn't pose any major problems, just be careful to eat well and take your prenatals on top of your vitamins that you normally take. Also be sure to take iron, as most women become anemic during pregnancy and many women who have had WLS are anemic to start with. Hope it turns out the way you want.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 1999 Report Share Posted October 1, 1999 Donna, What is PCOS? If they think the infertility was weight related than the wt loss may have contributed to your pregnancy. I remember reading somewhere that the amnt of fat on a womans body interferes with the under or over production of hormones, I believe estrogen, therefore leading to the infertility. I didn't use a high risk OB/GYN, in fact I am using a midwife, CNM, only because I want to do a vaginal delivery since I had 2 previous csections and I believe a midwife will help me do it, they work in a hospital setting and there is an OB on call all the time if anything should happen. If I were a high risk candidate, they know their limitations and I believe they would have not taken me as a pt if the VBG had anything to do with it. I would suggest you get a preg test done at a Dr. office to confirm the HPT too.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 1999 Report Share Posted October 2, 1999 Donna, This is almost exactly how it happened for me! (minus the bcps, of course...) I went to my family doc who knew and supported my surgery and asked him for a referral to an OB he liked. -Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 1999 Report Share Posted October 2, 1999 Do you want to hear " simple " ?!?!!? I was on fertility pills for 7 years after my daughter, who is a fertility pill baby! For the past two years we were in the mindset that we couldn't have kids, we were no longer on fert. pills and we were using condoms because it was so soon after my surgery. Well, put it this way: if it's a boy we're gonna name it Trojan!!! So, yes, it may just be that simple. Good luck. Margaret Re: hair loss and preg >> >> Do you know if it comes in other flavors?
