Reply to "How long until you tried for a baby"

I realize this post is almost a year old, but for anyone reading it after the fact...

I had a 2 step surgery to j-pouch 3 months apart. 2 weeks after my second surgery I conceived! It wasn't planned and my surgeon told me to wait 6 months. However, the nurses failed to give me my birth control in the hospital and it was a huge (but very welcomed) oops on our part! We now have 3 beautiful girls. Each pregnancy has had its own difficulties, but none of them were related to my jpouch. I think recovery after surgery is key. I heal extremely fast and felt really good 2 weeks post op (as good as you can after jpouch surgeries).

Make sure your surgeon is aware that you'd like to get pregnant and ask for him/her to be careful with your female organs!
