Tubal Reversals #14

[Mumof8]

Didles & Kiya im pretty sure Ray cant take the pill either so when she started they did a different cycle for her. Flare cycle i think its called

[kiya]

yeah that sounds familiar what they said. Everything is still the same except for the pill taking part.

hi ladies,
i can't take the pill because of my blood condition, but i am with the flare cycle. I have spoken to my haematologist and doctor and they said because it's for 22 days and only for one month i will be fine.
I can't do down regulation because my lining want go thin enough. A flare cycle is take the pill for 22 days wait for a bleed then on the 2nd day take the injection for 10 days then 2 days later egg retrieval. It's shorter then a down regulation cycle and safer for me.
Ladies is better if you can take it, i tried twice with out the pill and they could not get control of my cycle. I'm taking aspirin when i start the pill again i't keeps the blood from clotting so i can take the pill.
Hi em, how you going?

Ray, i wish it was that easy, but sadly it is not. In my case i can't take the pill because within hours i have a clot forming. As it is i am having to go back on clexane while i do my IVF because #1 i have to avoid a blood clot and #2 my endeometriosis. I'm not even allowed to take aspirin because there is a chemical in aspirin that makes me clot up. I'm now starting to consider giving up on the whole thing and living with what i've got already.

hi kiya,
I get clots too, i have had 15 in the last 6 years.
You can do a flare cycle without the pill, if anything the flare cycle is better then down regulation cycle it's a lot quicker. Thats weird that aspirin clots you up, it's supposed to thin the bleed.
Have you had any clots why you were pregnant?.
Do not give up! i have had so many set backs but thats not stopping me.

I can't take the pill as it increase my intracranial pressure and puts un-due pressure on my already non functioning shunt. For me the pill makes too much spinal fluid and it affects my eye sight to the point where I have none. Thats why the reversal is better in a way. But at this stage I am looking at going to Melbourne for it or wait till January when my waiting period is up for health cover and see what part they will chip in for I was told that some things they assess on a case by case basis.

Hubby has changed again and at the moment I am ready to kill him! Now he is like we will wait and see what she says, he is trying not to get my hopes up as we don't know how the pregnancy will go with my shunt so that is another factor that weighs into things. I have got to the point that if the neuro-surgeon says nope I don't think it will be in your best interests health wise well I have to accept that and move on as I don't want to make the little eyesight I have left worse, but it will be hard to just give up. I think seeing or brand new neice yesterday helped so I will be dragging him to see her more often, she is only 2 days old and beautiful I couldn't put her down!

hi ladies
isn't the pill the biggest pain in the butt? I got pregnant twice on the mini pill, hence having tubes tied because there is nothing out there for me to go on. Thats why we are doing ivf so they don't have to take the clamps off.
If we did the reversal it meant that i had to have surgery, which is bad in the first place for me then after a baby had to have surgery again to place more on(fun fun fun).
Didlesdines if you do the surgery, what contraception will you go on if can't take pill?

Hi everyone...
Ivf is the opion for me too as I dont want another baby but i do want the clips removed, they are annoying me (I can feel them and i am starting to get worried that either one has come off or something is wrong with my left tube as it is very painfull)...
I know i am not pregnant so i cant have an eptopic to cause the pain.
I just cant wait to be rid of these clamps....
getting nervous about IVF as I see the doctor in april....
I'm determined so that will get me through.

Kiya-- dont give up on ivf you have to at least give it one try.
mumof5 - where have you dissapeared too???
luvchildren - Thankyou and i wish you the best with your Holiday...
