ok ladies and or dudes ..... long story short both of my lil munchkins were concieved via fertility drugs one was a clomid baby the other a ivf baby i know i havent had surg yet but i always think ahead .. having the band put in on monday does that mean i can no longer use clomid and would just have to do injectibles? not trying yet but i do know i want atleast a few more kiddos ... if it helps my lh is low so i dont ovulate(no pcos, ) and have mthfr mutation

Plenty of post-op patients have gone on to use clomid.   While I did not use clomid, both of my pregnancies were post-op and I conceived via IVF/ICSI.  

You will not have to use injectibles exclusively.

Are you asking because of difficulty some bandsters have swalling pills?  I've always taken pills even when my band was really tight. 

I don't know anything about clomid.  Is it a solid tablet that can be cut or is it a capsule?  Either way, I don't think you'd have a problem taking it.

FYI, I also have PCOS and after losing a ton of weight with my band, I got pregnant with no fertility treatment of any kind...twice.  I lost the first one in February but I'm now 15 weeks pregnant and all is well.  I've taken Metformin for PCOS for years and that seems to really help some women ovulate.  The combination of Metformin and weight loss worked for me.

Good luck!

HI I DONT HAVE THE BAND I HAD RNY BUT I HAVE USED CLOMID ALWAYS POST OP AND HAVE CONCIEVED 3X ALREADY (1ST RESULTED IN A MISCARRIAGE AT 7 WEEKS)

I HAVE A 15 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND NOW 8.5 MONTHS PREG WITH IDENTICAL TWIN  BOYS

THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON Y YOU CANT TAKE CLOMID, HOWEVER U HAVE TO WAIT ACCORDING TO YOUR DOCTORS PROTOCOL WHEN IT  IS OK TO TTC

GOOD LUCK

All of my kids were also conceived with Clomid- one preop, and now twins postop. It's definitely possible. Good luck with your surgery!
