Off birth control, at perfect weight, and ready for a family!!

I just wanted to tell everyone hello. I haven't posted in a really long time! My pcp says I am at my perfect weight for my build. I am at 160 but I have a 31" waist and a lot of muscle from working out.. Man do I feel soooo much better than before. My hubby and I went and took pics. Hope the link to the pics works.. http://myspace-840.vo.llnwd.net/00378/04/83/378333840_m.jpg He loves having a trophy wife now.. Anywho I took my patch off on December 22 one year exactly from the date of surgery! As soon as I get regular I hope we get prego right away! Has anyone else started having children yet?? Well I hope to hear from everyone I am going to read some recent posts to see what is new.. TTFN, Michelle

Congrats on your great success.!!! You look marvelous. Sorry, I'm past the children stage, but I had a new grand daughter in November....does that count. Good luck. Think happy thoughts !!! Karen G

Are you kidding of course that counts Michelle

Dear Michelle, My last week of pills is next week. I also go to the OB to get the "green light" for TTC next Thurs. I haven't met my goal yet (177 now/goal of 150), but with advancing age (39) and history of one miscarriage after clomid at 150mg per day, we need to strike if the iron is hot. Best of luck to you guys! Angie 302/177/150

Angie!! Yea maybe we can do this together then! Hey I have a great board that I have been going on here is the link.. http://bbs.babycenter.com/board/preconception/gettingpregnant/5710 These gals are great. I post on the pbc board, they make a new one each day.. Michelle

I talked to my surgeon just Tuesday about having another baby and he said it was ok. He did recommend me waiting until I was 18 MOS out from surgery to start though. I'm still not sure if I want to try for another or not. I have 2 girls ages 5 & 2. Keep us posted. Deana

Michelle, You have done such an amazing job, I'm so happy for you. I really hope that you are able to concieve quickly. Try not to stress out about it and it will happen. Take care, Loni

Thanks Loni and thanks for keeping in touch with me! Michelle
