Hello everyone!! (And Liz... and Jo WOOT PA BOARD ) lol

I've been lurking on this board for about a month now.. and decided it was about time to introduce myself! I'm jumping over from the PA board… that’s my usual posting place… but it’s about time to acquaint myself with all you wonderful women on here! A little about myself… My husband and I both had the bypass, and actually met here on the PA board about 4 years ago. He had his a little over 6 years ago, and I had mine a little over 2 1/2 years ago. I had been told I would never have children because of my weight… I had/have PCOS and NEVER had a normal period. You know… all the typical stuff we all hear. Well, Norm and I got married in June, and after much fertility testing, almost two years of a normal period, and the go ahead from my doctor… we’re trying to conceive! (Liz, Jo… no one knows about this, and we’re really trying to keep it a secret… shhhh ) I’ve been off the pill for just about a year, and have been tracking my cycle (which has completely regulated to a normal 28 day cycle thank goodness!) We’re very patient, but also very very excited to start a family.. as I can imagine everyone is!

Any tips?? Advice??

It’s nice to meet all of you, and so glad I’ve graduated from lurking, to posting!

So… please send all of your good baby vibes this way.. and hope we’re soon with child.

OMG! This is awesome! I have NO advice when it comes to tracking etc. But Liz...........should have plenty of info for you. I am so excited for you and Norm. And I promise to keep my big mouth shut!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

Welcome and good luck. I heard the same thing from a few Dr's about not being able to have kids, WLS has helped that situation for me- my second baby is coming this week and my 1st is almost 16 months. Keep us updated.

YAY YAY YAY!!! My lips are sealed!!!

Order the book "taking charge of your fertility" it's excellent!! OR if you want to let Pam in on the secret she has my copy you are more then welcome to it. ALso sign up (free) on www.fertilityfriend.com and track your cycles. I went off my BC pills in January, started trying in Feb and was preggo in April. After the miscarriage in June I was pregnant in August. I too suffer PCOS. Oh I also have a bunch of ovulation predictor kits I'll mail to you. They never worked right for me but a lot of these ladies swear by them!

*hugs* and LOTS of baby dust headed your way!!!

Oh start your prenatal vites (replace your multis) and add in folic acid to your daily regimne.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for you!! Love you Both!
