I found him terrific! Very caring & considerate, & explained everything in detail. I have no complaints at all.
I didn't have any extra monitoring though, just scans around 6-7 weeks to make sure baby was where it was meant to be.Again I never had any probs.
He he school holidays, I love them it's a chance to sit back & get to know you're kids again, they spend so much time at school really. Good for you homeschooling I've thought about it, but I just don't think I would have enough time with them. It wouldn't be fair.
hey kiya and dearmum, thanks for the support...
storm, did woolcott open you up or did you have laproscopy?
bel78, i sought to have it done by woolcott too but the only reason i didn't is because he wanted to cut me open and because i have had one c/section it meant that i would not be able to have a natural birth and i really want a natural birth if i ever have another baby...... i don't know if you have had a c/section but just thought you should know...
onemore, i look forward to your good knews.... how bout some pics?????
Bel78- Are you having the T/R cause you want to have another bub or just to try and fix the pain. A girlfriend of mine had alot of pain and when they opened her back up they had cliped it to one of her organ thats why she had so much pain. Sorry if you have already explained i must have missed it. Only reason i ask is cause after the reversal it can take up to 2 years to fall pregnant thats if it works theres no guarantees. In saying that some of the girls on here have been super lucky and have fallen within a couple of months. Also the eptopic pregnancy rate is pretty high. I wasnt so lucky and after a year of trying we decided to do IVF. It was so so much cheaper and didnt come with the risk of having an eptopic. I wish i just did the Ivf in the first place we live and learn. How old are your kids?? Home schooling you are a brave woman no rest for you you poor thing.
i have had 2 natural births, wanting tr to feel normal again but if i fall preg that would be a good thing, but i too would want another natural birth, so now not sure who i should go to, any recommendations? my kids are 7 & 5. oh and thanks everyone for ur input learning sooooooo much.
thanks storm, i feel more confident now when i see dr woolcott, hopeing you would say he was caring, im a little cautious who im going t o go to this time round dont want it stuffed up lol. yep holidays well im with my kids all the time like i said but holidays we get to just take things easy go out and have fun without meeting our deadlines for posting our tests away etc, we all need to take things easy enjoy out kids while they are young it just goes too quick i m amazed when i look at my girl who turns 8 in march and i wonder where has the time gone!!! time just flys by lol, oh im thinking i m getting clucky!!!! oh no
WOOHOO Jodes......i will be thinking of you when you have it down.
Hey, have you girls ever experienced agonising pain in your hips around AF time ? I have so much pain in my hips that im nearly in tears with it......ive never had this before ever, and this morning i woke up with it.....very strange in deed
Sorry Kiya, never heard of it... hope it cleard up soon. Maybe its a pulled muscle or something ????
Bel if you have had natural births then the reversal wont change anything, you can still have a natural birth after reversal. A friend of mine had the reversal done down here in Tassie in Dec 07 by lap and is expecting a little boy.
thanks luv......i went and saw my gp and apparently during the night my hips displaced....then a trip to a chiropractor and hey presto "POP" they are back in place.....they were really hard to get back in, and he said they have probably been out since i had my last bub, but because of my bed being crap (well i think it is)....i walked in to his clinic in tears and walked out beaming......here i was thinking it had something to do with my AF and it wasn't...speaking of which, it is still hay wire, but now it is here on week 3 instead of week 2,which is an improvement i guess.....cheers kiya
My name is Yvonne, I live in Sydney. I had 3 beautiful girls (9,4,20mths), I stupidly had my tubes clipped after my last baby. At that point in our lives we thought it was what we wanted, But I regretted it straight away! I felt like I was only half a woman,I had lost my ability to have children.
I kept busy and distracted myself with study trying to push my guilt aside.In the past 6 months I have studied TAFE full time to become an AIN,(enrolling for further study again)
Now just 20months later I am looking at getting a reversal, Now medicare covers it I am even keener to do this.
Well thats me in a nutshell! I hope to get to know you all on our journey.
Big hello to the two new ladies. I had my tubes cut and tied after having number 5 cause it was the right thing at the time. 6months after having my son i decided to have a t/r cause things had changed and i really felt bad like yourselves. Dr Cooper did my reversal at the RPA Hospital and it cost $3500. 12months later i still wasnt pregnant and the risks of having an eptopic pregnancy after the t/r was pretty high. i didnt want to wait any longer so we went down the IVF path($1,450 for the whole cycle at westmead ivf clinic). We hit the jack pot and got a beautiful little girl first go. All the girls are very lovely in here and im sure will give you loads more info.
Looking forward to getting to know you both

Hi Yesitsyaya & Minibugz Nice to hear from you both.
I can feel you pains i was the same i had my 4 kids and and went in for a six week after birth check and my doc said to me well now that you have had 4 kids you should have a clip put on your tubes,hmmm i said oh ok then.He told me if i ever want more kids just come in and take off the clip haha like its that easy,anyway i agreeded without looking into it.As soon as i had the OP i felt the regret also,like now i cant get pregnant whenever i want.So for me its been 12yrs and i was so close to having the TR done and one doc talked me out of it saying that IVF would be a better option as its quicker and you wont get etopic pregnancies.Well i was blessed after just one shot yep only 6 weeks i fell pregnant doing IVF and have never regreted it.Im now going for another try and hopfully it will be a positive on the 23rd.(I lost my first bub @20weeks)sad and long story.If you guys are doing it to fall pregnant i would really say go for IVF but if your doing it to be pain free then for sure get the TR done.I never had a problem with my tubes clipped so far so good.
Well we are around if you ever want to talk...lol...we love our chats.
Ladies.....I swear this waiting has been so much harder this time around,im super happy yesterday and misserable today,yesterday my boobs were looking like i was pregnant and today nothing ahhh its killing me.I have done 2 HPTs already with a negative result.Im not going to do a HPT now until 2 days before my BT so thats on the 21st,the negative result is just bringing me down.
Well on a positive note i have waited now for months i guess a few more days cant be to bad.
