Tubal Reversals #15

[Phteven]

Here is a thread where you can chat with others about TTC after a tubal reversal... The old thread can be found here

[mummy25]

storm have you fallen pregnant since your reversal and how long ago did you have it done?
my doctor wants to send me in for a "look and see" and while there they will just remove my clamps.
he said this way I can beat the medicare system and have it done in a public hospital.
I have Just had alot of tests -Pap test and heaps of blood tests so after the results come back my doctor plans to send me to a gyno up here for the "look and see".

Emily had a whole day dry today with no accidents " praying for the same tomorrow"...
mumof6 - is breah on the formula or breast ? I could never breast feed as my milk was just not good enough and my children would demand feeds every 2 hours, I was tired and cranky and the formula was pure heaven for me.
(emily still cant have cows milk she is lactose Intolerant and has has been since we tried it on her, we have tried to re introduce it as per the doctor several times but she gets sick each time and has alllergy reactions to it.
so she has lactose free milk but she calls it cows milk as it has a picture of a cow on the carton....)

Hi ladies, how are we all ?
Mummy25- how long ago did you have your tubes clamped? Did the Dr say they would just remove clamps or rejoin the tubes aslo? because I dont know if you would have much luck falling pg if they only take the clamps off because I would think that the tubes would have scared up where the clamps are.. If it were me I would ask the question first before you go in for the op..
Em hows things in your household? hope you are all doing well.
Well Im now in the ttw part of this cycle, not getting my hopes up but am preying for a BFP..
Better go, got work soon.
Take care

[storm]

I had it done in 2003 & have had 2 babies & trying for a 3rd.
He did the "look & see' first via a lap but cos everything was fine he went ahead & done the reversal at the same time.

Yay for Emily having a dry day that's great knews!

Em , how are you going?

Hi to everybody else hope you are all well.

[onemore]

Hey Storm, nice to hear from you... how have you and your family been? Hows things going with your house? are you enjoying it there? I dont know if Ive asked you before but how long after reversal did you get your first BFP ?
Hi to every one else, have a good weekend.

[storm]

it took me 12 months to fall with Zaccie, actually to the day of the op lol, funny coincidence then I fell again srtaight away with Angel, but have been trying for 11 months now kind of doing my head in this time, I'm not getting any younger !!!

Haha as for being here, I hate it it is hell, such a crappy dog ass hilly billy **** hole lol, house is going great I wish we could take it back to civilization. We are going to be moving in a few more weeks, way earlier than planned thank the heavens cos seriously, I would go mad if I had to stay here it is a disgusting poor excuse of a town! The mining is going good though DH will be coming back to mine & I will be staying in our new place, where they have power & running water & this stuff ,called grass LMAO I cant wait.

Hi Dearmum welcome!!
I had a TR a while ago now & have had 2 babes since, it took us 12 months to get my first TR babe & only 1 try for the 2nd, so far 11 months for this one. I will say that yes the op is painful however I had a haematoma form so that made mine a bit worse. We had to decide between the TR & IVF we chose the tr so we could have more if we wanted.
I wish you all the very best with you IVF!!

[dearmum]

Thanks Jo its so good to hear you have had success with your reversal.Is there many other ladies that you know have had success??Deciding IVf was so hard for me as i had booked up both my reversal Doc and IVF Doc at the same Month and had to nail it down really quick,at first i wanted to do a reversal because i also want more than one more but then i got scared about being cut ect and a etopic pregnancy and one Doc told me go straight to IVF its less wait, but even today i still think gosh i could be pregnant by now if i had done reversal hmm i think il give it one shot at IVF and if it dosnt work il go and get the reversal done.If you dont mind me asking how old were you when you had your reversal?also how long did you have your tube clipped?did the doctors seem positive after your op?sorry for the questions

[storm]

I dont mind, ask away.
I had my clips on for 7 years I think I was 32 when I had the op,& the doc was very positive for me he said everything went back together nicely.
Maz has had 2 babies after her reversal, but I'm not sure on anybody else, I haven't been around much lately.
The risk of etopic pregnancy was very scary but we got over it. We were offered IVF as well, but decided for the TR as I was having bad AF symptoms & the TR fixed that as well.

How far along into your IVF are you?

Hi ladies, welcome dearmum... I had TR in June 06 and fell pg in Sep 07, unfortunately I lost that little angel at 9 weeks. It was all very traumatic but on the up side we know we can get pg again. Another lady that lives near me had the reversal in Dec last year and I`ve recently heard she is expecting, so there are a few out there with great outcomes.
Wishing you all the best on your journey and that it doesnt take too long once you begin.
Storm sorry your not enjoying your new town, I`ve forgoten where it is you are but we have been to some pretty crapy outback towns so I have a bit of an idea what you mean (never lived there though) good that your heading back soon, maybe then things will settle down and you can get that BFP. Perhaps a new little one just doesnt want to be conceived in such a crapy dog ass hilly billy ****hole of a town...(ROFLOL that was great terminoligy spelling ?)
Talk to all you lovely ladies soon

[dearmum]

Thanks Storm & Onemore
Well you know iv always regreted doing the tubal ligation i think the Doctor shouldnt of said anything about it i was still young and if i wanted something for protecting myself i would have asked hmm my bloods starting to boil thinking about it.Well anyway im on my third week of IVF at first i was worried about the drugs ect but now its like nothing iv had no side affects just cruising along,tomorro i go for my U/S to check how many follies i have and maybe on tuesday i go in and have them taken out yuck!I have my hopes up high that it works even though i know it can take a few times.My youngest daughter and i we always look at the baby section at the shops and choose what we want i have to stop myself from buying thingsSo i thought i had a big family but you guys have more kids than meso how many do you guys want?i was thinking i want another 2 but dont care if its boys are girls coz iv got both atm they are the same at the end of the day.Well enjoy your night take care

[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

[dearmum]

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

[Mumof8]

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!!!

[dearmum]

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

[Mumof8]

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.
