Fertility issues after surgery

 I'm 4 years post RNY and my husband and I have been trying for 3 years to get pregnanty. 6 months ago we started with fertility meds. All tests we've done are normal. We are meeting with a fertility specialist on 1/25. Has anyone else had any issues? Anything that might be WLS related?

My husband and I had issues.  I am now very pregnant...but it took almost 5 years and IVF.  However, we never tried before surgery...and most women are superfertile after surgery.  I am more inclined to think it has nothing to do with surgery, just ****ty luck.  

My surgery (RNY) was in 2006. We never tried to get pregnant until a few years ago. I don't think it was surgery-related in my case; I'm 41. I never had a diagnosis other than age, but we had to do IVF eventually, too. If anything, I think my weight loss helped... I'm only 8 weeks along right now, but I'd never be so good about my health for pregnancy if I hadn't already had to be on top of it for the gastric bypass stuff.

I had 2 babies pre op and all he had to do was look at me and I was pregnant. We decided we wanted another one, and it took 7 months of trying and really timing it to get it. I tried Pre Seed and it took that to finally get pregnant. I know it is not the same as your years of trying, but it was stressful all the same.

I would have never gotten pregnant before surgery (not for lack of trying) because I was so overweight with PCOS so bad I would have like one cycle per year. After WLS my cycles became much more normal but my PCOS didn't go away and I still needed the help of a fertility specialist. At least it can happen after WLS! I don't think a specialist would have even helped me 150+ pounds ago.
Good luck to you! I hope you are able to get the extra help you need to have a baby!

 Thanks ladies! I just can't help wondering if any levels might be low due to malabsortion. I know that my potassium, b12, and vitamin d are prone to being low so I have to take prescription strengths of those every so often. I get them check every 6 months with my PCP and the last one that was low was vitamin d.  I just want it so bad that I keep thinking that there has to be something that I can do to "fix" it.

I too am having trouble conceiving. I have a daughter who is 13. When I had her I was overweight. I feel so good now post rny surgery I too keep looking for something to fix. Thinking maybe I'm not supposed to have another I too have a consult in for fertility. I have had PCOS my whole life so I doubt that is what is causing me not to get pregnant. Keep us posted. I would like to hear what you find out
