Deciding to Try

I will give you a little background. My DH and I have been married for 12 yrs. Since we got married we tried to get pregnant. After 3 yrs of ttc, my Dr believed I would not get pregnant. I have PCOS and none of the meds made me ovulate. We knew we wanted to be parents so we turned to adoption. We were blessed with the most AMAZING baby boy. He is the greatest gift and I know he is the reason I never did get pregnant. God knew best! He is now 8 yrs old.

Fast forward to now...This past year I have lost 90 lbs with diet and exercise. Since losing that weight I have had 4 periods in a row. I NEVER had a period unless I took medication to bring it on. My Dr believes losing the weight might have kicked my reproductive system into gear and says ttc now would be fine. I am 32 and DH is 40.

I guess I am struggling with the idea. Yes, I would love to have another child. DH is fine either way, his usual laid back approach to life! Once DS arrived I lost that desire to be pregnant. I was a mommy and that filled my heart!

I was hoping that someone would have some insight to my dilemma. Thanks in advance!

Welcome!  First of all, congrats on the weight loss!  That is awesome.  I lost 30 lbs two years ago and that was hard enough, 90 is incredible.  It's not surprising to me that your cycle kicked back in after the weight loss.  People don't realize how much extra weight can screw up their body and body systems and by losing it can make so many things better. 

I think it's wonderful that you adopted your little boy.  People who adopt have such blessed hearts and lives.  It sounds like you are pretty happy with your family, but having the option now to TTC another has you thinking.  I think you can take your time and see how you feel about having another child and being pg for the first time yourself.  We have a IV board with people who are or have TTC with PCOS that might give you some insight, http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ppifpcos.
