Has anyone else developed a strong desire to have a baby this soon after surgery?

I'm 16 weeks post distal RNY. I lost about 78lbs. so far. I have been infertile before surgery and so I am childless. I knew going into surgery that if I ever wanted to make another attempt at conceiving, that it would have to wait until I was 1 1/2 - 2yrs. post-op. Well, I'm 4 months out & I have this burning desire to have a baby. Since surgery, my periods have been coming ea. month on their own (whereas before I only got a period with the help of Provera), AND midcycle I'm noticing all the signs of fertility so I do believe that I'm ovulating (this never happened pre-op w/o fertilty drugs). It's apparent that my small weight loss (small compared to how much I still need to loose) has jump-started my biological clock back into action. I REALLY want a baby NOW!!! I'm 30yrs. old and I don't know if I can wait another year! I always wanted a baby, but just before and shortly after surgery, I was fine with waiting. But now it seems like these feelings are getting stronger each day. I know I need to avoid pregnancy, but it'll be torture! Am I alone in this? Has this happened to anyone else?
