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.
Well im off to have a cold shower it was B*****Y 41 today in Perth and there i was doing a builders clean ahhh.
WOW!!!! I don't come on for a few hours and look we have 2 new ladies join up and jodes and emm chatting away....LOL....Jodes...babe.....this one is a keeper.....i know it is.....Em....when you going for your next one ????.....Me....i am still to get the all clear from my GP....and he doesn't want to give it until i can show that i am cycling every 28 days....BOOHOO.....oh i hate the waiting game.....To the 2 new ladies....welcome girls.....i'm from Qld.....i had found a hospital i could go on public waiting list, but long story on what happened there and why i am now doing IVF.....whats this i am hearing TR is covered by medicare.....please tell....not that i can get it because of damaged tubes now hence IVF....but i want to know more???? Jodes did you get my message about contacting me ???....well i better go now and try and get cool.....it is 9.45pm here and i am melting.....blah....cheers all....kiya
Kiya thats weird they wont give the all clear till your cycle is 28days. Mine have been all over the place since i first had my tubes tied. Last one was 43 days this time has been 33days but they gave me the go ahead. I think i would be giving your doctor abit of a push along. As for the next one im in no hurry at the moment. Im still in oar of my little princess. She is truely a blessing and lights up my life to no end.
Dearmum... i can fully understand how hard the wait is,its bloody terrible. I did a test 9days after transfer and i got my very faint positive.
Hey mumof6......yeah i know.....i have been having AF every 2 weeks and this one has been 3 weeks.....i have been expelling really clots which means my endo has come back.....i know after speaking with monash IVF, they said they would deal with my endo and my dvt, but i don;t want to deal with how much they want for their IVF....lol....i want my ivf journey to start now, but with this bleeding i guess i am also scared that they willsay NOPE, NO WAY.....just me being a big chicken....LOL....cheers kiya
Hey Kija, I'm in Toowoomba in Qld.....out in the sticks, but oh well.....
My story, I have 4 kids...whom I don't see will explain another time, 1st preg on pill, 2nd breast feeding and pill, 3rd Implanon and 4th Mirena.....yeah was really really really furtile now new r'ship nearly a year, he has no kids, I love kids. Since Tubes done my period is soooooo painful, like right now, day 1 and I have had hell, it is just getting worse and worse,
I hear medicare????? Tell me more, would love it. I am 28 at the end of the mth and I know things only go down hill with age, thats why would love to start things happening now, then I have got a little time for trying etc. Am sort of, actually no, make that really excited about the thought of being a mum again, and I love being pregnant, besides the morning sickness, but hey, you take the good with the bad....
Anyway ladies, goodnight, hope to get to know you all in the near future.
