Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hello all, I need a little information and I am hoping that you all will be able to help me out. I had wls because of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). I was wondering if anyone else out there has had PCOS, had WLS and had any problems getting pregnant after the surgery. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hey Alison, I have PCOS and am currently 20 weeks pregnant. I had WLS in July of last year.. Prior to surgery, I had been on infertility treatments for 4 years, and had two pregnancies that led to a miscarriage at about 5 weeks. But, it had been almost 2 years since my last pregnancy.. so I guess that would be 2 years of unsuccessful treatments.. Then, after my surgery.. I went back and started the infertility treatments again.. and got pregnant the 1st month trying.. I still didn't appear to ovulate on my own, and had to have progesterone support.. but hey, I am a firm believer that the WLS has made this pregnancy successful. Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 I am hoping to become pregnant without fertility treatments. All we can do is try. It won't be for a while, but I hope that it happens on our own. I just had my surgery in April of this year and I weighed 223 when I went in and now I am 180. I have not had to have any meds for anything since! I am just trying to gather some other people's experiences and hope for the best with mine! Thanks! and CONGRATULATIONS!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi Alison I have pcos and had wls in July 2003. I went through 4 years of infertility treatments without even being able to produce an egg(dh was tested, he was fine.) I got pregnant in March and I am currently 15 weeks. This was a total surprise to dh and I. I am not even sure that I believe it is happening even though I have heard the heartbeat twice. It is very possible to become pregnant w/pcos after wls.
