Tubal Reversals #16

when you say high risk, how high risk are you ? are you high risk in your pregs or in general ? cheers....kiya

hi kiya,
high risk as in throw up the entire time, 3rd one good placenta previa grade 4 n was 8 weeks early, n my last one started to shut my liver down, n im not allowed to exercise while pregnant n two miscarriages

Katt Im really not sure about the high risk thing. Just ask the gyno

Hi Katt....i know all about having a grade 4 placenta previa, i had it with my last one along with a DVT in my right leg....i eventually delivered a very successful VBAC with the last and at 38 weeks with no pain relief and a midwife pulling her out at only 7cm because my cervix tilted in the wrong direction and was placing her head in the wrong direction to her body....i agree with Mumof6, speak with your gynae about it all....my last was my only high risk preg, but now i also have endometriosis, but that is ok to do my IVF as i have good pregs except for the last thats all.....where are you in Bris ?

kiya

hi kiya,
thanks uhm im on the northside of brisbane, redcliffe area. for some reason my doc reckons tr is the way to go but im siding more with ivf less of a hassle, tho have to talk it out with gyno next month. the doc doesnt seem to have a problem with me having another one tho and shes been there thru out all of my pregnancies cept for my last two when i basically lived in the hospital. hoping if i cross everything i might be starting ivf around august or maybe september since three of my kids have birthdays in august/sep there two weeks apart!

katt....at the end of the day it will be your decision which road you plan to take TR or IVF.....everyone is different and for that need different treatments to have a baby....best of luck on your journey....cheers kiya

Katt only thing is with TR is the eptopic pregnancey rate which is high. They cant be sure it will even work after it being done or how long it could take to fall. But as Kiya said we all make our own choices based around our lives and whats best for us.
Good luck with your journey Em

katt, welcome. I had my tr done by cooper in sydney and i live in north queensland. I had the reversal and hystosalpingiograms and ended up with 4 ectopics. I have just suffered the last one. I am hoping to travel the ivf too but i am glad i had the reversal even though i have had the ectopics. I had so much trouble with my af after the ligation. it cost me a fortune and now i am paying for ivf too. If your tubes have been cut and tied, (depending on the length left) it can be very difficult to establish what the best option for you is. Have you a laproscopy done to have a look at there condition? i ]\
kiya, how is it all going for you... it may be looking up for me.....
dearmum, where are you? are you ok? i was eager to hop on and see how you were?

where is everyone else?

hi luvchildren how are you? well we have decided to go the ivf just gotta get everything organised and all the tests done by the gyno next month. i havent had any tests done so i dont know the condition of the tubes but we're thinking its just cheaper to go the ivf we got the information the other day we're just going thru it and looking at the doctors that itself is a hard decision.

hi mumofsix and kiya how are you? how is everything goin?

Hi Katt....yeah everything is doing good....just wish i would get some rain to put into my water tanks....they are so low.....we watched the radar yesterday and you saw all this rain heading our way, then like usual it splits in two goes around us then joins back up again....grrrrrrr.....kiya

Good luck today Dearmum!
Don't keep me hanging all day hehe!

ARGH I'm so lost..............
what's going on with you all?

All is good here, just wish I could keep the girls off my pc for a while.LOL

Hello Everyone,

I have been reading this thread for a few weeks and today I decided to join up and say hello!

Hello:)

I have 2 kids from my previous marriage and my partner does not have any kids. In 2002 I had a tubal ligation that I have always regretted and felt pressured into.

So now, we have decided we want to have children together and I have been doing research on the net about both tubal reversals and IVF. The surgery worries me and at this stage I am leaning towards IVF at Westmead (waiting for my package in the mail).

I live about 5 hrs from Sydney and noticed that some Qld residents went to Westmead for their IVF, how long do you need to be in Sydney for? Can you be taking the hormones at home and blood tests at home? Or do you need to be in Sydney for the entire cycle?? Anyone help me on that?

Also, will Westmead do IVF if I haven't attempted a tubal reversal?? I really don't want to have to go through this surgery if I can avoid it.

Well that's all from me for now. You ladies all seem like a great bunch of girls.

Ciao
Jo

hey stormy......all is good here hun....how are you going.....sorry to hear about your pc....i can so relate to that....i have to fight to get to mine...LOL....cheers kiya

Hi Jo and Welcome to our little part of the cyber world....You don;t have to had the TR done to go through Westmead....I haven't had a TR and i am going through Westmead and i am one of the ones from Qld.....As for the tests I'm not sure, but i am also in the process of trying to have them done up here....When you do IVF, then dig deeper into all the tests hence why you can't get them through your GP.....As for staying down there the whole cycle, no you don't have to do that...you do however have to go down a few times with your partner, but you can also go down yourself, but on the day of pickup he will also need to be there.....the best person to ask is Mumof6....she had a very successful #1 IVF at Westmead.....wish you all the best on your journey....cheers kiya

:leap:OMG OMG LADIES ITS TWINS YAYYYY IM SO HAPPY MY DREAM CAME TRUE:jawdrop:haha i had a dream last night that i was living in the country and i needed to go for my scan so i asked my DH if he could use the mini plane...lol but he just kept taking to my mum for hrs so anyway i was panicing and in the end i didnt figure out how to get there ahhhh what a dream i only had about 3hrs sleep last night.
Today while waiting for my turn i kept thinking oh no how am i going to handle it if there is no baby inside i was almost sick with worry.
Im going to sleep like a baby tonight.

Jodie.....woohoo honey....(sorry for caps) but i am soooooooooo happy for you darl......message me and tell me everything :-).....******hugs**** babe....kiya

Startingover.... welcome, its always excting to get a member in out little group and share the experiance its truely awesome and I love all the girls in here and Im sure you will to in time.
As Kiya said I have been thru westmead and I now have a beautiful little princess. Its all pretty overwellming at first but once you get started its just so easy. Its just making that first step and jumping in feet first. No you don't have to stay in sydney the hole time.Yes you take the drugs home with you. And yes you can have any scan and bloods done thru your f/s at home but that will be at your cost. I would recommend staying in sydney for atleast the last week of your cycle cause you may need extra stimulation( extra drugs) and they like to keep a close eye on the folicals towards the end to see if there big enough mature etc. Its so hard to explain it all on a computer screen so if you wanted to know more you could call if you felt cumfy enough and i would be happy to answer any questions you both have. 0400003378. Good luck on your journey.

Dearmum thats awesome this is your time to shine
I want to hear all the details of todays avents im just so so excited for you and your family. Everything will be times 2 now hehe. Take good care of those little ones.I sure hope someone is going to throw you a baby shower would to see that. Now feet up and rest

Hi Ladies.....:wall:God iv beed trying to get on here all weekend but couldnt.
Well ladies i think i need to change my name to drama queen :rolleyes:well after my happy news on Friday come Saturday i started spotting again anyway its still here so i went in for another scan and thankgoddness they still have there heart beats,but im worried coz my doc said im bleeding from the womb and if it gets heavy i will m/c ahhh please dont.So im in bed today hoping and praying it settles down,i cant have my dreams taken away from me that quick.I do know one thing if i lose these babies im not going in for any more.

How is everyone?

Dearmum.... i think the best place for you is bed or the sofa lounge till you reach 12weeks. I know it would be hard but the best thing for these :twin_neutral: at the moment. Like you said you dont want this dream to be taken away! Its only another 4 and abit weeks away, your doing a great job getting this far! Take care darl

YAY for twins dearmum, & now you rest up!!

OMG I haven't been able to get on either, it's not like I come on everyday, but when I want to I want to LOL, I was devistated.....

yah....i'm not the only who couldn't get on either....dearmum...rest up darl and let these bubbas settle down....kiya

Hi Mumof6.....Yeh i know but it would be very hard,i will be taking things extra slow though.When will you be starting you reckon? Oh your kids photos made me cry,i just felt so proud for you:p

Hi Kiya....Babe hows your Dad?give him my love when you see him next ok.Tell him you have a friend on the net that remembers him;)
Any idea when you will start IVF?

Hi Storm.....Oh your little boy looks so peacefull,that photo makes me so clucky for a little boy:p

Well ladies resting up in bed and feeling so dam bored,but i will continue until the bleeding has totally stopped.I have started a album for my twins i just hope i can finish it.:pray:

hi, i think everyone has been having problems getting on this site!
dearmum sorry to hear your bleeding i hope all is well and best rest is all you need.

Think i shoulda stayed in bed also today news from doctor wasnt good all she knows and has ruled out is that its not my appendix which only means its something reproductive and isnt good so now have to have a scan done.

Take care everyone i hope you are all well.

angela

Dearmum..... I have to wait to get in to see my fs. So im seeing him on 29th April, I so hate waiting. Im pretty sure my period will be due a week or two after seeing him so the first part of May will be our first fet. Thanks for the lovely comment about my kids that really lovely.xx

Katt sorry to hear all isn't going to plan hopefully you can get it all cleared up soon.

Storm Noah is so cute. I hope he's being kind to his mummy!
Take it easy girls xx

How weird its telling me i have posted but now i cant find my post. Grrrrrr!

AND NOW IT SHOWS UP! BB making me out to be a lier

Hi Ladies.....

:DWell my bleeding stopped over night thankgodness!
I have worked it out that i have had a bleed every week now but my last was the longest 3 days hmmm im going to watch out for next week,strange hey.
This morning i woke up to pins and needle pains in my belly im thinking maybe its due to lying on my belly at night.Ahhh the dramas of pregnancy.

Hi Katt....Sorry to hear things arent looking to good i hope it clears up for you soon on its own.

Hi Mumof6....Hmmm ok i can wait until May:lol:its going to be a long wait for both of us.Will you be transfering 2?

lets hope this post gets through....i have sent 2 others off now and none of them have come through.

dearmum.....i agree the dramas of being preg.....i hope all the bleeding settles down for you.

as for me, at the moment we are waiting until after next month to start looking at doing the IVF. my son goes to see his neurosurgeon and we find out what is happening with his tumor and bleeds.

kiya

Dearmum.... DF wants 2 put back but im in 2 minds about the hole thing.
Bl00dy women, we think to much is all it comes down to.. Alot to think about really but im just going with the flow at the moment. Now you take it bl00dy easy for gods sake I don't want to hear anymore bad news this year from anyone.xxx

Kiya good luck to your DS

hi mumofsix, dearmum, kiya and everyone else, how are you all?

great to hear your bleeding stopped dearmum hopefully nextweek will be less eventful and they will settle down for you.

well as for me went and had a scan done all they are saying is that its definatley the right ovary yet they dont know why, n its 1 cm bigger but everything is normal so who knows. the doc seems to think its cause im ovulating but im thinking if its doing that now ivf should be fun i havent slept in days its that bad.

take care angela

Hi Mumof6......Now now come on you know down the track you will want twins go with the flo and let your DF get his way:phehe geez your only got 6.Hmmm dunno about the lounge it drives me nuts any longer than a hr.Huh today i came home from shopping totally stuffed couldnt be bothered going to the drs and fell asleep for 2hrs to be woken by my eldest DD saying that im lazy and whats for dinner GRRR i told her S**T your 18 and gettn married soon cook your own dinner for a change.God they make ya mad coz everytime i fall to sleep i always have to get woken up.

Hi Kiya.....Wow did i miss a post or something i didnt know your son is suffering from a head bleed/tumor:redface:gosh i would be leaving having another one also.Babe one thing at a time you have had a very bad run :hug:

Hi Katt...ouch i hope it does do this with you during IVF,will you still be able to go ahead with IVF?

God I love you girls AND i LOVE logging in everyday to hear all the new goss, its just so positive in here at the moment and everyone is moving forward its great girls.

Dearmum.....There are so many wat ifs with Ivf. Wat if they both take wat if they don't make the thraw wat will people think wat will i do and will i cope wat about my beautiful children will they miss out and wat if i can't give them the time and love they all deserve wat if it put even more pressure on my relationship cause times do get abit hairy with the kids and we don't get any us time now wat if i don't get my so longed for twins will i be disapointed, should i do this or should i just be happy with wat i have wat if wat if wat if. Im so scared making this next step but excited and worried but over joyed at the thought of a new bundle of joy. I have 6 beautiful children and they are my world and they make me who i am but there is already 6 and 8 seems like a huge number and to much. Im just a mixed bag of emotions at the moment. But these are all my honest feelings and thoughts at the moment. Im just confussed right now.

Mumof6....Yeh i know how your feeling,thats IVF for ya hey.
How many frozen bubs do you have left?
Look at me it took 3 x with frozen to get a positive and that certainly plays on ya mind getting a BFN,but i reckon i did the best thing by continuing coz i cant stand the idea of having our bubs in the freezer now i have nothing left and now i will stop.
just go with what your heart thinks at the time,for me i have always dreamed of having twins so getting my doc to agree on transfering 2 was the hardest part for me but if i had of transfered to before what if i lost 2 hmmm its one of those questions hey nothing is guaranteed.

Dear Mum : YEAH YEAH YEAH FOR YOU!!!!!!:happyforyou::hooray:.
WEll girls I have been away on a woirking holiday ( mjind you trhere was no holiday that came with it ;).
And Yes AF arrived on the day afgter we got there. I am now on cycle day 6 and started my clomid yesterday. So hears hoping....If no baby this cycle then DH and I have agreed to IVF..... Was reading the clomid increases the risk of eptopic so now I am truly worried .......already have higher chances with the TR of that!!!. My temp chart is now stuffed I think as the airline lost our baggage we had a call last night and we hope it should be here by tomorrow.
Be back later....
Em

Dearmum....we have 4 bubs, day six blasties in the freezer. The first fet transfer will be natural so no drugs but if that doesnt work the next one will be with the crinone they told me. After lossing a twin last time i think thats wat really gives me the drive to wat another and to want twins cause i felt robbed in a way. I never wanted twins but its not until you loss something that you realise. I would do this in a heart beat cause i want this so much but then I have to look at the hole family and not just be selfish. But in saying everything ive said if it doesnt work i dont think i'll be disapointed.

Mrzbaby I wish you the best of luck this cycle:pray:. If not you will have to jump on the IVF express with us hehe. Good luck darl

dearmum.....2 years ago he was found to have a brain tumor....it was only found because he woke up one morning screaming and crying in pain with a massive headache....he never had headaches before then.....then last year in between may and November they found that he had bled twice in his brain.....so now he also has brain aneurysms on top of that....he goes back to see his neurosurgeon next month and have another MRI....if they find evidence of another bleed/s they are going to operate then start chemo for the tumor....the tumor is right next to the optic nerves etc in the penial gland, so that also posses another problem as well because if they even just gently touch the optic nerve he will go blind.....he is still my 15 year teenager and still does all his crazy things and hangs out with the mates and gets up to no good at the skate park.....we haven't stopped him from having a normal life.....he has a great group of friends who look after him, but they like him and us are also afraid about next month because he has had headaches in the past 6 months......i know i will have my baby, just a matter of getting all this over and done with and getting back to some normality in my life.....cheers kiya
