Just wondering if anyone here had PCOS and had RNY? We are not trying to get pregnant of course yet since I'm only 7 months post op. Just wondering if you may had to use Glucophage and Clomid or injections to still conceive. I know RNY doesn't cure PCOS, but it does help with fertility. Sometimes it may still be hard to conceive after RNY and I was wondering if you had to use fertility medication was it safe to do do with your RNY and did it help?

I got pregnant just fine after RNY with no use of any drugs :) 
I could not get pregnant for anything before, tried IUI's....so you might be surprised!

I am currently TTC and I have severe PCOS.  I was on metformin and clomid previous to my rny and was resistant to the clomid.  I am again on the 2 drugs and have had to pregnancies, unfortunately both ended in MC.  I am again trying and on the 2 drugs, 1500mg of Metformin a day and 100mg of clomid CD5-9.  Actually am on CD13 as of now.  I guess it depends on the individual and their medical issues.  I don't ovulate without the clomid, but was resistant to it before WLS.  Losing the weight has definitely helped.

There's no reason why you couldn't use Clomid after RNY.

YES to all of the above...lol
I had PCOS, I had RNY, I took Clomid, and Glucophage and did have a baby after years of TTC. I still had issues and it took a while, and still have PCOS, but being down 130+ lbs definitely made it a lot easier. There are no issues with Clomid for RNY patients other than it may not absorb as well.

I also have pcos. I took clomid/iui and was clomid resistant. We were going to start injectibles when I was called to a long jury duty case and so conceived my daughter just on metformin. With my son we weren't going to do the fertility route again so I asked to be put back on metformin to regulate my cycles and conceived again. And my husband has extremely low sperm counts as well. Surgery I am sure helped me conceive, but did not cure the pcos or insulin resistance. good luck. Shari
