Tubal Reversals #15

[karend]

Welcome Dearmum....
Im in the process of getting my tubes reversed (on the waiting list), So hopefully by the end of the year i would be had the procedure and next year we will beTTC

We were also offered IVF but decided that would be our last option if we cant conceive after the TR

Hope everyone else is well

Karen

Hi Karenthanks for replying,i think its great that you want to reverse it.I think i will end up reversing mine to as it is one of those things that we shouldnt of done and i wont feel happy unless its been reversed.Im going to give this IVf a good shot first and i think if it dosnt work il book myself into having the reversal,i have a Doctor hear in Perth that does it but i dont feel he would be as good as DR Woolcott or DR cooper so i would be tossing weather i should fly over there or just go with this doctor.Have you decided on your Doctor?Well keep me posted on your progress k

Dearmum,
I had my T/R in 2006 but i had no luck and i didnt want to keep wasting time trying. I too was worried about having an eptopic pregnancy so IVF was the answer for us.
Away to cut a long story short we had 2 eegs put back and i just gave birth 2 weeks ago to a beautiful baby girl( not so beautiful at 2am lol). I trully feel blessed to have this little girl. It took along time and there were lots of highs and lows and it was really draining but it was so worth every minute of it.

Hi girls slowly starting to get back to normal(well im cooking and cleaning).
I have put Breah on the bottle and things are starting to look up. At long last im happy again and i feel quite settled, Breah has brought peace to my life and made me feel hole again. I do love her so so much, sometime i look at her and i just cry cause she is just so special.
Take care girls AND I WANT TO HEAR SOME GOOD NEWS SOOOON!!!

Hi Motherof6 Congratulations on your six baby wow you must be busy,but happy.How long did it take you on ivf?did you fall on your first go?you were lucky to have been able to put in to embies as im only allowed to have one each time,dame because i wanted twins.Today i had my scan but my follies arnt big enough so i need keep going with the stupid injections.Um how many follies did you get?also what size were they?i have about 10 but they are only sizes between 16 and 13 so still await.Well have a good day

Dearmum,
Yes i fell first go with twins but one didnt go passed 8weeks and was removed when i had Braeh. I had lots of follies but so many of them were small. To too took extra drugs cause mine werent getting big enough quick enough so i had to take an extra shot each day for an extra week. It took about 12wks from when i started seeing the f/s to when i fell pregnant. We ended up getting 17 egg and 12 fertilized and we had two put back(much to there disgust).They grew the other 10 to blastie stage which is day 6. So we have 4 that made it that far which is an excellent result they said so there in the freezer. Mine where between 18 and 21 by the end they dont like them any bigger then 21 or there over done if you know what i mean.
So execided for you and your family, i know how tough IVF and the drugs can be on your body but believe me its so worth it.

Hi Motherof6Thanks for that,it gives me a positive out look.I must say you were so lucky for it to work the first time.Im sooo hoping it will work for me the first time because i cant stand all the needles and watching the clock 12hrs a day,but hey il keep at it for a while and if it dosnt work i think il do a TR and then let nature take place.Well got to go and pick up my kids from school have a good day

Dearmum,
I was given a pretty high chance at falling first go because i had never in the pasted had any problems falling pregnant, never had a miscarriage and i was still pretty young. One in every three fall first go so i was told.
They advised against having two put back because my chances were farely high but we went against that as we didnt want to go thru the hole IVF thing again. Two was better then one in our minds. I remember my Ivf like it was yesterday, the alarm on my mobile would go off every 12hr if i didnt do it that way i would have forgotten for sure.
I went to a BBQ one day with my drugs on ice in my drink cooler, another time in the middle of a carpark after lunch with a girl friend. Things we do hey.
Here's you get some good eggs and you get to freeze some just incase. That way you dont have to go thru a hole cycle again.

Hello all - this is my first time on this site. I have got 3 kiddies 2 boys 9 and 7 and a girl 6. My tubes were clamped 5 years ago - I was only 25 - and I now want a baby. (Well, I have done for a couple of years now). I am scared that I wont be able to reverse it and wont have a chance to have any more babies..

[Mumof8]

Mummy25..oh i cant wait for the next update how execiting. Breah is doing pretty good.
There is a but tho, she just doesnt seem to want to sleep unless im holding her and its doing my head in like seriously. Also i need to make some friends around here cause im really going crazy just doing all the mum stuff and having no adult company and adult convo. I had a fight with DF saying how hard it is and i really look forward to the weekends cause hes home and we go to the boys footy. But he doesnt get it I tried to tell him that he has a life outside of this house and can get away but i cant, these four walls are my life. God i can winge!! Bloody women.

Hi Sharmane and welcome,
Like most of us in here we are all wanting a baby and have had or are looking into getting a TR or doing IVF. Good luck on your journey and im looking forward to getting to know you and your family more. We are all pretty cool chicks in here(well i think we are)and we all give each other the help and support your looking for.

Ray where are you.............................

Hi Mrs M,
I used to live in Queensland but i had my reversal in Sydney as i couldnt find anyone up there. I paid $4000 for mine but another girl on here that went to the same clinic paid $8000 nfrom memory and you get nothing back.
I didnt get pregnant after mine after waiting 13months so i did IVF in Sydney and fell first go and it was a hell of alot cheaper then the reversal anyway and it didnt come with the risks of what can happen after you have your reversal.
Goodluck on your journey and hope to get to know you better over time

hi everyone ,,

i am new to this so hope i dont muck it up, wanting to know if any of yuo experienced pain after tl, i had my done about 3 years ago and now have severe pain before period, periods are irregular, im opting to have reversal but not sure where would be the best place and how much does it actually cost, do any health funds provide help, sorry if these questions have been asked before. and does anyone know how long does it take for clips to cut off tubes, thinking maybe just get clips off!!!

[kiya]

welcome bel78......it doesn't hurt to ask.....you had the filshie clips is this correct ? I had these done also.....having a TL done is not covered by health insurance that i know as it classed as a perm contraceptive......the only part that would be covered is your hospital stay and maybe some other parts like anesthetist etc.....pretty much you have the choice of going private where you pay for the full amount yourself or if you are prepared for the wait try to get on the public waiting list which some of the women here have done down in Victoria.....i myself still have my clips on and are all things going well doing my IVF cycle this year.....as for the pain factor.....i too have experienced the same pain your are talking about....i also have the very irregular AF at the moment, but that is also my endo playing up like usual......hope that helps you......cheers kiya
