Hey, I'm new here and have been searching on the net here for a while about tubaligation reversal.

I had my tubes cut about 2 1/2 yrs ago now, lots of new circumsances including very painful and horrible periods, and the option is definately open for the possibility of having a baby, beside the hiccup of the tubes thing.

I live in Queensland and was wondering if anyone could direct me to someone who might be able to reverse my tubes, and help me out a bit.

Any info is greatly appreciated

Minibugz ;)

Hi girls,

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.

Yvonne

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

Hey minibugz.....where are you in qld ???? i'm in qld as well......look forward to hearing from you......cheers 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.

I heard the reversal is covered by medicare aswell. Dont know how it all works or anything.

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.
Hugs
Minibugz

kiya

Hey mumof6......i remember when you would call me and you were still taking your meds for IVF for your little rosebud.....and now she is 8 months old.......geez time sure does fly by doesn't it.......if i have to wait any longer i will just die.....i'm getting closer and closer to 40.....i so want everything to start, but the GP keep dragging things out and i keep bleeding every 2 weeks, so we don;t know anymore what is a AF bleed or a Endo bleed

Ohhh Kiya.....I hope your doc will do something to help fix it.
Babe thanks sooo much for all your support,i really feel like your a true friend.Yes i did get your message,i will txt you time to time....

XXJodie

Kiya gee i'd be booting that car outside. My cats not aloud in the house cause he's to hairy. Yep i member that convo like it was yesterday time sure does fly

$hit i hurt today on my face....it is so hot up here and the sweat is getting into the cuts....ouchies...the one near my eye looks like someone hit me....LOL I didn't think i would bruise from a cat clawing, but dh said it could because of the clexane still in my system and i still bruise a little when i knock something....just wrap me in cottonwool and stick a white stick on me and call me a cotton bud....LOL cheers everyone kiya

Hi girls,

Forgive me it's gonna take a while for me to remember who everyone is and who said what!

http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/...inter-2008.pdf

I found out that TR was covered by medicare in the "Medicare forum"news letter winter 2008 edition.

" Reversal of elective sterilisation under Medicare
Restrictions on sterilisation reversal will be removed to allow Medicare benefits to be paid for this procedure. Currently, Medicare benefits are only available for sterilisation reversal procedures necessitated by clinical need and are not available for fertility restoration".
When: From 1 July 2008.

I hope that this answers any questions.

Sticky vibes waiting..

Yvonne

where did everyone disappear to ???? it sure has been quiet here lately....i'm lonely ...LOL

hey jodes, congrats mate!!!!! I am so happy for you... ........keep us posted
hi to the to newies.... i had my tubes ligated in 2004 and they were cut and tied. i had the reversal with dr cooper in 2006 and paid $10 but some of that is because i live in north queensland and had to travel to sydney to have the procedure done. I have not been successful in falling pregnant and have had 3 ectopic pregnancies. I have been very fortunate because the ectopic pregnancies i have experienced have been on the ovary and not in the tube. The problem with my tubes is that they are to short.
For the lady who has had the clips, you have a better chance, depending on where they have placed the clips. And for the other, I hope they didn't take as much off your tubes as they did mine.
onemore, i am so happy for you too....
hey kiya, i hope for you that things settle down...
storm, i will carry your belly for a while huh!!!

Not much from me atm, I'm stuffed, it's too hot!!
Just checking to see how Jodes is doing really. Sorry..... I know I'm a slack tart.
Luv, you are more than welcome to finish off these last weeks for me.Birth included !!!!!

Hi girls

Nothing to say just popping in, How sad am I being excited about Neighbours and Home and Away being back on?? I must have NO life!!

Ah well kids go back to school next week,I enroll at Tafe again then the fun starts all over again ......

I got a referal to the fertility clinic at westmead for the reversal, I faxed it to them, I wish they would pull their finger out and send me out the damned paperwork.So I can start organising everything.

A question now. I have no idea how private hospital cover works? Does anyone have any info that could help explain this to a sompleton like myself?

till later

heya yesitsyaya.....as far as i know a TL is not covered by private health insurance as like they put it is not a necessary procedure...also to them a TL is a form a of PERMANENT contraceptive, so with that they won;t cover a reversal.....but with that said, some of them cover IVF, BUT, you have show that you legitimately have a problem with conceiving naturally, and that once again does not include the fact that you have your tubes done..... i checked this all out....i'm going to Westmead for my IVF, and they sent me the paperwork within 2-3 days of me calling them and i live in Qld.....i'm starting my IVF hopefully soon, but now it appears i am shopping around for a new GP as, gett his my GP i have had for 5 years and dragged this on for so loooooooooong now, said tome today that he would not give me a referral because #1 i was not going to the IVF clinic they are affiliated with and #2 i am getting closer to 40.....but hello, how long has this $hit been going on for and they have given me all of these excuses under the sun......i'm so pi$$ed off and angry, words can;t describe how i feel right now.....sorry girls.....hope all is well with everyone....cheers kiya

Hell yeah Kiya I'd be ****ed too.Goodluck finding a new GP.

lol double post

Ok triple post

Yesitsyaya....Oh i got all excited for a minute there cause i was reading wat i wanted to read hehe. Was thinking you meant you were going to IVF:rolleyes:der me!
I dont know how private health cover works as we have only just taken out private cover in the last 5months. Im pretty sure some cover IVF and other things like that to some degree. I guess you would have to call them and see cause there all different im with MBF. Where in sydney do you live?
I so cant wait for A farmer wants a wife to return its my favourite show. It seems everyone around me is pregnant at the moment there just coming out of the wood work everywhere. 7 friends have announced there UTD in the last month. So makes me want to jump on the wagon again:lol:.
Take it easy girls xxx
P.S..... SO CANT WAIT FOR THESE KIDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL, I CLEAN ONE MESS AND I TURN AROUND AND THERE MAKING ANOTHER Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

My dad had "farmer gets his Wife" on my sis's wedding cake!! It was so funny!!

I so know what you mean about mess!! eekkk I'm sick of it too

Ok theres somthing going on with bellybelly. I go to post a comment and it says i havent answered there secret question right1,what bl00dy question.?
So i found it, wat colour is grass! that the hell lol.
Kiya i was reading on the daily telegraph page yesterday on the net that IVF success rate is getting higher and higher,it was awesome to read. Just go and see any doctor to get the referral to see one of there fertility specialists, what a c0ck he cant say no to giving you a referral. Its not up to the GP to give the go ahead its the f/s you see then they refer you to the clinic. In facted i'd go back to him and make him give it to you!

Wonder if that had something to do with my multiple posts?
I haven't been asked for a Q though??/

hehe maybe,my question this time is what is the first month of the year! der. Hope they dont get to hard or i might not be able to post anymore hehe. All i did was click on post reply

hey em....i couldn't believe it when he after 5 years said NO and all this bull$hit.....he dragged it out to the point where he realised because i dais i was going to Westmead that he wouldn't do it anymore...... they are with qld fertility up in toowoomba.....they do both TR and IVF, but i have already gone to them, and i know they wont look at me because once again it came down to #1 age (at this stage i was only 34) and #2 because they didn't want to deal with my endo.....buggers.....at least i know westmead are happy to take me only......i even cried earlier on, because i was so devastated......i know what you mean about either hearing about all these BFP or physically seeing these big preg women.....laidley these days i so full of them and it is now longer a sleepy country town, but a booming metropolis....kiya
