Topic: From PCOS to TTC 10 Years to IVF & now TWINS

Yes! I have PCOS and just had twins so hold onto your hope!  We tried to conceive ten years and adoption before going to find out what was wrong, well it was my husband and not me as the- male factor infertility with Obstructive Azoospermia but we didn't know the extent that my PCOS would also play in our trying to conceive. My DS wls was 9/4/09 by the way

I have a blog about our infertility journey here: Lucero Family Detour: Azoospermia Detour

 

But long story short.. we did one vigorous round of IVF and had our boy girl twins November 28 2012 :) Now, is time to get these extra 50 pounds off and I started that process this passed Monday.  Already lost a few pounds! :)

Keep up hope is my point!

Topic: Pregnancy after WLS ok?

New to this board, so I would love some encouragement about pregnancy after WLS. I have been diagnosed with PCOS since I was 16 years old. My husband and I have been TTC (trying to concieve) for over 10 years and have done several cycles of fertility meds. After all that, no pregnancy. My doctor wouldn't do IVF because my weight was so high, so here I am.

I know many symptoms of PCOS will disappear with the weight loss, I just want to know if pregnancy is really safe after WLS.

Will I be able to get enough nutrition?

How long do I really have to wait before TTC?

Thanks in advance for any information or advice.

Topic: Spironolactone
Hi , has anyone had problem with spironolactone and ulcers. Prior to surgery was on 200mg worked wonders. Now Dr told me to stop it cuz it dropped my blood pressure. Ok so I started it again only 50mg not seeingany results. My acne and oily scalp and face is out of control. So, the Dr is doing a test to see if I have an ulcer. Because of my symptoms. Can Spiro cause ulcers, has anyone had any problems with this meds. Had the Rny on nov 12 12.

Topic: RE: Stalls with PCOS!! Darn, what do I do?

As tempting as it is, be careful about blaming stalls on PCOS.

What are your program guidelines for this stage of your journey?

Mine are 60-65g protein (women under 5-4, 70-75g for taller women), with calories at 850-900. Workouts 5-6 days a week for 45-60 minutes a day.

What's your water intake? Minimum 64oz, shoot for 80.

Change up any one of these, and you should see some movement.

Topic: Stalls with PCOS!! Darn, what do I do?

 

I have been stalled at the same level for two weeks now...I just started my 4th month, and an having no progress.  I religiously tract my calorie intake and exercis....my clothes feels better, but the scale won't budge...I am getting between 1000 to 1200 calories per day, with 60-90 gms of protein.   I did have the flu for 10 days during this period.. What should I do?  Eat less? Eat more? I workout 3 times a week with a us masters swim program, swimming 3000 yards per work out...do I work out less?  More?  Any help would be appreciated!!  Thanks! happy New Year!
