New ? about cycles becoming regular

I am new here. I have read several posts in the past. My surgery was 8/26/09. I can hardly wait to get pregnant. I am going to wait until I am at least 12 mths post op.
My ? is. Have your periods become more regular after wls? I started 5 days after suregery and then had another 42 days later and then I starting again 32 days after my last period this month. This is amazing to me..I also have 1 daughter turning 6 and we had done 3 yrs of clomid, shots, etc with no luck before my surgery..My ? s are
By the way I do know that I have/had PCOS.

1) Did you have few periods a year before WLS?

2) Did your periods become more regular after you lost weight? and Did you start to have cervical mucus and signs of ovulation?

3) How many have gotten pregnancy easily and not needed fertility meds this time since surgery?

if you can answer any of these ?'s I would be so grateful!!!

THANKS,
Amy

 I have PCOS as well.

1)  I did not have a period for almost 3 years pre-WLS

2)  My periods became regular almost right away

3)  I got pregnant on birth control post-wls, after years of TTC unsuccessfully with clomid pre-WLS

Good Luck!

Thanks so much for answering!!! Congrats to you!!

I didn't get my period for 6 months before my surgery After I stoped breast feeding my daughter is when they stoped... but I got heaver too... but after surgery I got one a month or so later and then I was getting one every other month... At about 4 months out I found out I was pregnant... I told my hubby there was NO way I was pregnant but he insisted I was so I took a test and then another and yes now I am 12 weeks with twins... We used protection but I still got knocked up. I thought sense my periods were messed up and we were using condoms I wasn't super fertal and I was so wrong. I wanted to wait to have more because i am only 7 months out now and still losing weight like crazy but the babys are well and so am I. I know u said ur gonna wait...definitely wait cuz it's not fun being out so soon and prego... have a good one

1. I always had a monthly period preop. I have PCOS. I didn't ovulate. It took years of TTC and fertility assistance to conceive my two oldest children.
2. My periods are more regular now, but still not clockwork (but this is likely due to surgery and an IUD insertion kind of throwing things off for a few months). I am not TTC so I don't monitor CM.
3. I conceived just 1 month postop despite using BC, so WLS by all counts made having a baby 'naturally' possible. However, using 2 forms of BC (or 1 effective non-absorbtive method such as IUD) for the first 12 to 18 mos is HIGHLY recommended. I wasn't informed about this. I preach it to everyone now.

Congratulations on your surgery and I hope you'll stay on this forum during your journey. There are women here at all stages - before, during and after the TTC process).

Hugs,

thanks for answering..SO did you continue to lose weight after you got pregnat 1 mth post op?

Yes, but I had to work at slowing the loss. Mom's rapid weight loss/ketosis is dangerous for a baby.
