Hi Everyone - just on the way out the door but wanted to stick my head in and say good morning!!! I am actually really excited as I am about to go and meet another BB member for coffee - first time - very exciting!!!
Ive seen him too - he is divine! (maybe i liked him cause he is a fellow pom). i felt listened to when i visited with him and he ALWAYS replyed quickly to my email - no matter what time of the day or night, i kept him updated after my MC and he wrote a lovely email reply. he even remembered me when a friend went to start treatment with him lol. he would be who i would see if i were in Sydney for sure! GL with him! we did think about doing a cycle with him but my FS here was happy to follow his protocol.
I love meeting BB girls too! even interstate! i crashed at Holly's for a few night when i went to see DrS and we had never met before and when we did ! well it was like two peas in a pod! speaking from myself neither of us could shut up TTC related or not - it was great fun.
Am also hoping to catch up with another BBer next Tuesday and so looking forward to it. I hope you have fun too, are they a LTTTCer?
ETA - molly i see you have both your tubes removed too(as do i) hard to know that IVF is the only option but feeling better without the swollen tubes IYKWIM? can i ask when you had your surgery?
Hi Loula - surgery was End of Feb last year and I have done 1 FET and 1 Stim cycle since. I had no idea that anything was even wrong as I had no pain associated with the swollen tubes. It came as a complete shock to me when the FS told me. DH and I went through a difficult time trying to decide whether or not to go ahead with the op. Iknew deep down that the chances of falling pg were pratically zero but I still wanteed that chance of a miracle. In the end though we decided that we had to make sure we were doing everything we could to give IVF the best chance possible. But i have to say that barely a day goes by that i don't wonder about whether we did the right thing or not.
i know just how you feel. we found out in 2003 that this was the surgey we needed and at first i was like no, no way am i having it done and was reasured by FS that we would not need it as IVF bypasses the tubes anyway! then three years later we changed FS and again i was met with this surgery before us! we tried it but the scaring was too bad it have it done by then, and now with every IVF cycle i was starting to get infections and PAIN! not to mention all the MC that followed.
We then decided that we needed to get it done to give IVF the best chance too.
we found a great FS and surgeon and finally had the op in November last year! so we have not done a cyale since
After my last MC my tubes swolen to 15cm by 8 cm! needless to say yes there was more pain! after mulling over it for many years i am sad that this surgery was done, but am happy now that i can start to move in a forward direction. i feel cleansed IYKWIM?
always did i pray for a natural pg. but now i just pray for a healthy one with a beautiful healthy baby. whatever it takes.
Hi Loula and Molly girl,
I also can only concieve through IVF, my DH's vasectomy reversal did not work, ICSI only for us.
Brave move re tubes must have been hard decision, I'm sure it will be a fruitful one.
