Good luck to all the up and coming mommies...and a question

[Guest guest]

I was faithfully taking my birth control pills when we got pregnant. I found

out from an online support group many women were conceiving taking the oral bcp

(malabsorption of the hormone) so we scheduled hubby to get neutered. About 4

days before his procedure, we found out we were pregnant. Since our youngest

was born with a rare genetic disorder, and has had 12 surgeries in her 40

months, we decided we where done with two, although I originally wanted 4.

They tell us to wait because it is really for the best. I would never have

gotten pregnant on purpose, what if I miscarry then I would personally ask

myself if I had not tried to get pregnant against the doctors orders, would the

pregnancy have made it. It is bad enough when a miscarriage happens, to live

with the uncertainty and blame would be unbearable. Of course, on the other end

of the spectrum, I have heard of women who where unknowingly pregnant when they

had their bypass surgery and both mother and baby where fine.

I am now a week out, and I read all these posts about becoming

preggers very soon after WLS... my doctor has me on the pill. Were

you guys on any form of B/C at time of conception?
