1 yr post-op, just found out I'm 1 mo. pregnant

[Guest guest]

Well, I'm preggers! Only 3 1/2 weeks, but I am so thrilled.

We'd been using an ovulation kit the last 2 months and I'm overjoyed

that the kit works. I was able to conceive without any meds. we

did the clomid route a decade ago, but had really hoped my 130 lb

weight loss would make pregnancy more viable. I should be ecstatic,

and I sort of am, but I am more terrified this won't stick around.

I've lost lots of other pregnancies. I call my PCP tomorrow AM but I

have no regular OB/GYN since my PCP had been doing my female exams the

last few years. if anyone has good recomendations for Chicago area

OBs who are familiar with pregnancies after bypass do drop me a line

email.

You ladies give me HOPE. In the next 2 months we are going to try to

conceive again for our third child. Before WLS we had 2 m/c followed by 3 years

of

infertility (we only did clomid) then turned to adoption. I too have PCOS. I

am hoping the wait loss will help things, I was 30 lbs heavier than I am now

when I got pg with our daughter on the 2nd month of trying.

Thanks, Pam

thanks Toi! I'd been having computer problems the last few months and

we moved the last 2 weeks so I've been offline for some time, but glad

to try and reconnect. I see my doctor fri.

Congrats on the pregnancy!!! You and I are in a similar boat per se -

I did the clomid and fertility doc thing a few yrs ago with

absolutely no success. I have PCOS, and like you, hoped the weight

loss would be a factor in getting pregnant after 6.5 yrs of

marriage...Lo and behold, the first month we were allowed to try

post op, I GOT PREGNANT...It is such a miracle for us, even though

the baby will be due during moose hunting season...lol, Dave will

get over it! I was 9 mos post op, 104 lb lighter and about 15 lb

from goal when we conceived in Feb...

Though I am not from the Chicago area and can't offer you a referral

to an ob, I really wanted to respond to your post and say congrats...

All the best,

Hugs,

RN
