There is hope!

Hello all! I just wanted to share a bit of happy news! I was diagnosed with PCOS a number of years back. I struggled with issues of not having periods. My doctor told me that my gastric bypass surgery would help to lower my chanes of infertility. I had my surgery 3 and a half years ago. I was married at the time and my husband and I just grew apart..we finally seperated! In July of 2008 I found out that his new gf was pregnant with her first baby and his too. I was devestated that it wasn't me! It was such a cheap shot below the belt. But maybe it was meant to be.

In the past year, I've still had no periods regularly and have been on a regime of every 3 months I start a cycle of birth control pills to induce my period. Well, on May 24th, I started on the South Beach Diet. It was time for my next round of bc, so I took a pregnancy test on June 13. It was again negative just like all the tests in the past. Well, I finished my round of birth control pills last Sunday and went all week without getting the start of my period. I started to get worried and stressed. I told my new husband that I needed to get a test because this has NEVER happened before.

I tested on Monday at about 10am...POSITIVE!!!! I couldn't believe it and still don't. So, I took another test on Tuesday morning at 5:30am when I first woke up- again POSITIVE!!! Something had to be wrong with those tests...and they weren't the cheap ones either...they were First Response tests. So, still in disbelief I went and purchased 2 more. I took my 3rd test today- cheap one from the dollar store- and within a matter of seconds those bright pink lines appeared- POSITIVE!

I've been told almost my entire life since I started my periods that children would be almost impossible without the help of fertility drugs---well, ladies, don't give up hope because obviously there is some chance out there. God works in mysterious ways :)

I hope this post gives you a little bit of hope because it's something I never had much of!

Congratulations on you great news.

That is awesome News! Congrats!

Congratulations!  I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy!  It is so nice to read a success story. 

Your post touched my heart! Congratulations sweetie! That is wonderful news for you and your new hubby!

Oh soooo sooo soooo good to hear! Congratulations, and thank you for sharing! :)

Thank you all so much!! I'm still having a hard timebelieving this is happening to me, but I made a trip to the Department of Health yesterday and tested positive for them. However, they went by my last period cycle, which as a diagnosis of PCOS can run far and few and in between. My last period was in March, but I started my next birth controls to have a period and took a pregnancy test before I started taking them and it was negative. They put me estimated due date as December 18, 2010, but I'm sure once I visit the OB next Wednesday that will all change!

I will send a quick update next week when I find out more! Thank you all again for your kind words!

Congrats! That gives me hope! I've never had regular periods and have never been able to get pregnant. Since surgery my periods have been like clockwork every month now. This is the first time in a long time that I've had them back to back. Usually It's one or two per year if I'm lucky.
Hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months! 

Congratulations!!!! It does give me hope... right now I am undergoing treatments with Femara, Follistim and Ovidrel.  I just went through the first round and according to the test yesterday it was negative... so I have to wait again until I get a period to do round 2 again.  My dr only does treatment 4 times... it is my only hope to become a mom.

I have been praying so much for a baby.. it's my biggest dream..  I know i have to keep my faith.
No matter what Dr says, God is the ultimate doctor.
