Responsibility???

Me personally, we started seeing a fertility specialist @ 9 months because my fiance had testicular cancer 3 years ago and a very low sperm count so we got clearence to start trying by the nutritionist, surgeon and my OB/GYN.  With the assumption with my fiance's history it would be IVF that got us pregnant.  Apparently God had different plans, we were supposed to start low doeses of hormoes after my next period and I couldnt because we were pregnant.

I dont know what everyone elses reasons or whatever were, but I believe it doesnt matter either way, I feel God decides when things should happen all we can do is help it along....Once again this is my personal opinion.

Good luck on your pregnancy and heres to a happy and healthy 9 months.

i think alot of it is lack of education... just because my dr told me xyz... doesnt mean that her dr told her xyz... frankly it was her job to do her research... i also think alot of it is an "accidental on purpose" type thing

Lexa, im going to have to sit out on this one. I can't possibly imagine one board certified doctor worth the hospital bed he puts you on did not tell them about increased fertility. Especially considering every diet pushing mantra on tv and everywhere else speaks of losing weight=getting pregnant.

I wouldn't say lack of education, more like inability to listen, believe, and follow simple instructions. Ultimately in the end, I guess we do what the heck we want to do regardless of what we're told.

I got pregnant 4 months out from my DS surgery. I had a tubal ligation and then a reversal several years ago.We tried to conceive for a few years and were told BOTH tubes are completely blocked at re-connection site.

So we had to do 2 IVFs to conceive my now 2 year old daughter. So we were told NO possibility of EVER getting pregnant naturally......

Well, by some miracle, here I am, pregnant naturally......so it was a tolal shock, total surprise, but we are totally THRILLED and I will do everything I can to stay healthy so that my baby does, and I do during the process!!!!

I would sure like to contact my IVF doctors, my fertility doctors, etc....and show them just how wrong they were! LOL

I had PCOS and irregular periods since i was 18. i was also told that technically i had gone into menopause because i had gone so long with out a medically induced progesterone withdrawl period. I had to go through 2.5 years of fertility treatments to get pregnant with my son. Even though i read so many stories about how many people easily got pregnant after having surgery. For some reason it just didnt sink in. I guess after 15 years no pregnancy no birth control its like yeah right how is a stomach surgery gonna fix my infertility. I guess i just couldnt get my head around how much your weight effects your fertility.

I got pregnant 10 months out of surgery.  My surgeon said to wait 12 to 18 months.  At 10 months out I was on the nuva ring, took it out when I was suppose to and hadn't put a new one back in because I wanted to get the hormones out of my body to start trying a couple of months later.  I was already past my surgeons weightloss goal for me.  And was just 15 pounds away from my personal goal. 

I apparently don't ovulate during the expected times and I got pregnant from having sex ONE time that month.  On a day I thought we were safe.  My husband was very sick and it was hard for him to actually have sex.  I say Delaney was our miracle baby.  She was meant to be.  And I am sad to say that a week before her 1st birthday my husband passed away from his illness. 

I truely believe I was suppose to have her when I did and I don't regret at all getting pregnant 2 months before I was "suppose" to. 

And now I am lucky enough to have found love again and we are expecting our own baby.  But this will be my last. 

take care,

Prior to WLS I had a tumor attached to my fallopian tubes.  It was removed, but I was told by 2 different doctors at 2 different times that I couldn't have kids.  9 months out of RNY, I proved them wrong.

I wasn't a year out... I think I was 7 months out from Lapband... which is IMO not as bad as getting preggy at 7 months post-any malabsorbtive surgery (no offense anyone, just sayin... the band doesn't have a honeymoon period and I was able to loosen and will tighten it back up once I'm done nursing and things will be the same as if I never got pregnant to begin with).

My pregnancy wasn't on purpose.

Too many females in my family have had to have hysterectomies and I've been personally against birth control ever since I was smart enough to figure out that the last thing I needed to do was put myself further at risk of anything going on with my female organs. It'd be like smoking when half my non-smoking family died of lung cancer... just not smart. We usually used condoms. In the little "window of opportunity" I can think of one instance where it was possible that we didn't.... we were in Panama City on vacation and pretty trashed. Even at that, I thought he pulled out.

It's all history now. Just 7 more weeks of pregnancy and I'll be back in the business of getting skinny!
