I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there who suffered infertility problems before wls but was able to conceive after losing the weight?  What is your story?

I'm looking for hope!  :) 

I started at 324lbs and a size 26.  After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011.  My second daughter was born in September 2013.  I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs.  I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter.  The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls.  My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.

Me.  I went through 8 years of failed fertility treatments prior to my WLS 5.5 years ago.  I was resistant to clomid and responded poorly to injectables.  We'd about given up on having kids before my WLS.  At 1 year post op we were given the ok to ttc and I stopped the birthcontrol patch.  I started charting my temps and found that for the first time in my life not only were my periods regular but...I was ovulating on my own! At 16 months post op we decided to not use any protection and immediately got pregnant.  I had a healthy pregnancy & baby just days before my 2 year surgiversary.  Knowing how 'easy' I got pregnant I opted for a Mirena IUD for bc that was put in at 4m post partum.  I had that until our daughter was 1.5 and had it removed.  I was pregnant the next month (we made sure we prevented immediately to make sure I didn't get pregnant before my body could build a lining that could sustain a pregnancy so after my 1st natural period we ttc'ed again).  My OB's first words this time were 'already!?!'.  Again I had a healthy pregnancy & baby.  My daughters are my miracle babies. 

Good luck with everything!
