Hi guys, still keeping up with you all & wishing you all the very best.
Hey Storm where is MAZ???????
Over the loo! LOL
I'll find out, most likely doesn't realise a new thread.
hi ya girls
Yes im very sick - cant eat properly, having blurry vision and spewing atleast twice a day. Sorry i havent posted,....and yes Storm - I forgot it was a new thread (stupid pg brain)
onemore - I fell pg 3 times with my tubes doen, decided I wanted them unclamped, had it done in october 2005 and fell pg that december. I had my beautiful little (grrr) ratbag Vyolett in september last year and this is my 3rd pg since (Ive had a m/c in november and one to twins in march) were there is a will there is a way adn a group of $hit hot chickies to support you. only a few of us know what its like and its good to know we have shoulders to lean on when we need them.
BBL - need to pick Wilhelm up from kinder
Hi Maz, good to hear some sucesful stories after t/r, I`m new here so didn`t realise your pg so congrats and hope your feeling better. I`m having a patency test done in August, that will at least give me a bit of insight as to whats going on in there.
If you don`t mind me asking, did they cut you along the pubic line when you had your op? and can you have a natural birth or do you have to have a c section. Hope these questions aren`t too silly !!!
Yep - my cut was from hipo to hip onemore. I had 2 previous c/s before my op and I have been told no way - c/s again. No question is ever to silly.
Must add to, the op does knock you for a 6. Be prepared, its not a walk in the aprk. It took me a good 2 weeks to get to part of my mo go back. I just remember how painfull it was to go do a pooh...PMSL. I never had the patency test done..what is it?
This is my second pg after having the reversal - Storm also has 2 darling after her reversal.
Now girlies..I have a BIG question...... Jed and I have decided that this is defently it. NO more as my back is killing me and I walk around like a hunch back most days plus having my 4th c/s wont be to good. Any way Im wondering what I should do for contraception after Mr Squiggle is born????? Call me stupid but am considering getting the docs to take my whole tube out, I defently dont want any more kids. I am so confussed...Storm were are you when I need you
Hi Maz, I had the reversal done a year ago today and yes I remember how it was!! It took about 6 months for me to get back to normal and the cut actually split a tiny bit at about 6 weeks post op and took ages to heal, the Dr`s thought I may have had diabeties because it wasn`t healing very well, had the tests but all was normal.
Tubal patency test is where they push dye through your tubes then do an ultrasound to see if the tubes are clear, hopefuly that will be fine but apparently its quite common for the tubes to get scarring after an amount of time. I`m glad you replied to me, because it gives me hope for the future, and I really would like it to happen naturaly if possible.
I dont know what your feelings are but I would think seriously about having permanant contraception done again, one of the problems I had with the whole tubal ligation I think was emotional, knowing that I couldn`t have any more children really played havoc with my mind, then I felt bad because it was my choice to have the op in the first place when a lot of people have trouble conceiving from the begining.
Gosh Maz, I dunno? I know I would never have a perm. method again, I'm on BCP even though I hate them, but I don't want another just now either.(will PM you the latest asap. promise can't now cos I have Amy hanging off my shoulder PMSL)
Onemore, I had my last 2 kiddies post op, naturally, so I don't think having a TR means you have to have a c/s.
Hi everyone,
Please bare with me as I am new here.
I have been reading all of your posts on this thread, and unfortunately it has left me even more confused about what to do.
I have looked at all the stats for both reversal and ivf as well as compared the prices and success rates. I had my tubal done with the filschie clips about 7 years ago. I am 33 and dh is 40.
I would love to hear from anyone in sydney on what they did, and where. I had read that you can have it done in a public hospital, but when I talked to docs I was told that isn't true and I would be looking at $7000-$8000. Monet we don't really have.
Any help or advice at all will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks heaps,
framaine
Sorry framaine
Im from Melbourne and Yes I went public and didnt pay a cent. It took me 10 months from my first appointment until the day I had my reversal.
Storm is from Sydney she can help
Good luck matie and let us know how you go
Framaine,I had to go private, I ended up traveling up to new Castle to get it done, it was a big decision between the TR & IVF but we choose the TR for the options of making AF better & also the possibility of more kids should they happen,& it would work out cheaper & was more practical in that sense, even though there really are no guarantees with the TR it did have a better "take home baby rate" than IVF had.
Where abouts in Sydney are you? You could contact an IVF clinic, as some of them also do the TR & gynae's do as well, I was very disappointed when I found out my OB/gynae does them & I could have had it done 15 mins away. Oh well.
It cost me $6G as it was all done privately, there is no public list here in NSW.
I wish you all the best,
you could call a few gynae's in your area & ask the receptionist if they do them.
Hi Fcnessi, i think the doctors are telling you stories as i had my reversal done 9mths ago in a public hospital (RPA) as a public uninsured patient(no babies yet tho). Call Dr M.Cooper rooms, they will tell you that it is possible. Its not 100% that you will get a pregnancey and even how long it will take for you to get pregnant. Im a very impatient person so i have decided to do ivf.And its alot cheaper and the % rate is higher.
Hi Maz good to see that everything is ok. I too wonder wat i'll do once i have completed having my family. I think i will be having my tubes done again. I never had any problems when i had my tubes done. It was only since having the reversal that i get bad period pain, very very very heavy bleeding and big clots of blood and im not ovulating every month. I guess we are all different and all our bodies have all reacted in different ways and done weird and wonderful things.
Hi to everyone else, hope all is well.
Take care..
Hi Fcnessi, I had my op at Royal Womens in Melbourne also, at no cost had to wait about
9 months from initial visit. Not pg yet, it`s been a year. If you can`t find what you are looking for in Sydney the cost of air travel these days it`s really worth considering looking into going to Melbourne if money is an issue. When I was on the waiting list last year we decided to move to WA and would you believe that we were in Kununurra for 4 months when I got my op date, in the end it cost me about $1000 for air fares.
Storm... thats good to hear, I wasn`t sure how it all worked, a few ladies I know who have had c-sections have had to have the same for all their other children, just wondered if the cut was similar.
maz... we probably went to the same hospital !!
hi maz,:hello:
i don't know what you can do about contraception ? in my situation i literally have no chose the clamps stay on, i'm not allowed to be on anything. Thats why we are doing ivf.
maybe you can have them put back on and if you want another one do ivf. How's your morning sickness going?
Hi:hello: to everybody else how has everyone been?
Hi:hello: to fcnessi, i can't really help you i still have my clamps on. And i'm doing around of ivf in about 2-3 months. It's costing us $5300 up front but we are only going to be out of pocket $1300, for a reversal here it's $3000
ray:D
jed and i have had a good chat and im going to ask the doc's when i have my c/s to remove my tube. I defently dont want anymore kidies after this one and i fell pg 3 times with them clamped so i think thats our best option.
thanks for your input girls
omg Maz!! That's such a toughie to make.
I've been wondering after #6 what to do as well, wonder if DH will get the snip?
I just said to jed cause im already 'open' so to speak they may aswell fix me and he has the biggest thing about a doc playing with his balls PMSL typical friggen man!!
Are you guys defently going to have a number 6 then????
Hmmmmm most likely LOL , we'll see what happens.........
Dunno if DH will have it done either, but I seem to fall just by laying next to him, so something has to be done, I am on BCP, when I remember to take it :help:
