Did anyone have issues getting pregnant after surgery?

I have been given the go-ahead to try to get pregnant by my dr, my surgeron, my dietician, and my nurse (I know that I am less than a year out, but I have other health issues that are causing me to need a quick pregnancy).

 

We've been trying "officially" for about three months with no luck. I thought the general conclusion was that after surgery you are insanely fertile and can basically look at sperm and get pregnant?? I just had another negative pregnancy test this morning. Was hoping for a Christmas miracle.

So, my question is, are there any of you that have had issues or are currently having issues getting pregnant after surgery? 

I have been tested for pcos in the past, and I don't have that. I do/did have thickened endometrial lining which caused precancerous cells in my uterous. i have been biopsied every 3-6 months and no more pre cancerous cells. I'm not on hormones anymore (or any drugs, just my vitamins).

 

Help?!?!

Yes I did. I starting "trying" at 6 month post op and it took 1 year to become pregnant. I had PCOS prior and irregular cycles. While my cycles regulated it still took months of charting OPK's and I had a loss at 8 weeks in July.  Finally I broke down and bought the ova cue fertility monitor. 2nd month after that nailed it with a positive pregnancy test. Now 12 weeks and cant wait until july.

Congrats on the successful pregnancy! I have the clearblue fertility monitor but it didn't work for me in the past. I might need to dig it out and give it a try again!

I am sorry your having trouble conceiving. I too am having issues. I went to an RE which is a dr who specializes in infertility. He is helping is try to have another baby. I have a low reserve and dont ovulate in my own so I am in a real time crunch as well, even though I am young. There is a FB group for women ttc after wls if you would like to join, its secret so no can see that your in the group. Let me know if you want to join. I would say to go see an RE to figure out if there is any problems and then they can come up with a plan to help get you pregnant. Best of luck. :)

Hi Melanie,

Sorry, would you mind requesting me to be added to the group again? I received an email with a link to the group, but I had to be approved. I did request to be added, but I haven't been accepted yet.

 

Thanks!
