Hi Ladies!   
          I have been off birth control for 3 years now and though I don't have PCOS I can't get pg.  I will be having RNY in the next month and was wondering if you all went on bc before or after?  What type of bc?   How long did you DR recommend you wait before TTC?

Thanks in advance-

 I have pcos and am having rny Tuesday.  My surgeon says to wait between 18 to 24 months.  If you get pregnant before that you aren't allowing for the most weight loss to happen.  You tend to drop the most weight the first 2 years and if you get pregnant during that time you won't be taking advantage of that.  :-)  Hope that helps a little.  Good luck!!

What birth control are you going to use?  If you don't mind.  I just can't imagine going back on birth control after the amount of money I've spent on infertility treatments!

I was on Yaz before my RNY...I am almost 3 years post op & PCOS is GONE GONE GONE!!
Today I use the Nuvaring as we don't absord the pill properly and the ring is consistant without malabsorption issues.

I went back on BC within a week of my WLS.


201 pounds lost since surgery!! And I'm 2 1/2 inches taller too!!

And YES I still eat Carbs and Fats but I know what portion control is!!


Surgery Date: 6/5/07

I have mirena IUD. You can always get it taken out when you are done and don't have to worry about absorption issues with a pill.
