Hi Fcnessi.... I cant believe they told you that cause they never told me that it was just a trial. I bet it was all canned cause they didnt make enough money.I got my letter from my GP and got in to see Dr Cooper 2weeks later. I was in surgery 6 weeks after that. I have no idea about the public waiting lists(sorry). Good luck with it all
Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a good day.
Things took a turn for the so much better for me today. I contacted a hospital here in sydney and once again my dream was shattered, but then I told dh that it can be done publicly in Melbourne. He was over the moon cause these days airfares are so cheap.
So I rang the hospital and made an appointment. We are off to Melbourne on Friday 3rd August. The wait for the op is about 1 year and that will kill me, but it will also give me time to loose some weight and for us to be well prepared financially if I do fall pregnant and take time off work. So all in all a very positive day for us.
Hope you all had a great day too. You were all a little quiet today, is everyone ok??
fcnessi - what hospital did you ring??? Was it the Royal WOmans? Thats were I got my tubes reversed and they were fantastic. I went from my appointment in the April 2005, went back in September for pre bookings and then had my reversal on the 4th of October 2005. I waited 10 months all up. I was in hospital for 4 days but good they were fantastic there. Tell them that your willing ot come down with a weeks notice and it bumps you up on the list start away.
Good luck matie let us know how you go (oh im all goosebumpy)
fcnessi , that's great news!!!!
Sorry for not being around much, I'm sulking ;) will pop in & tell you all about it soon.
Hi Fcnessi,
I'm on the public waiting list up here in Bris. I actually go for my first appt at the end of the month. Dea actually put me onto this hospital, and sure enough got my referral from my GP and away we go. Hopefully i won't have to wait to long to have the op, so can't wait to do the baby dance.
Cheers

Hi everyone, sorry I havn`t been around the last couple of days, my grandfather passed away yesterday afternoon, such a shock he had a bit of a cold so went to the Dr yesterday morning, she gave him antibiotics and sent him home. He went for a lay down at 5:30 and didn`t wake up, at least it was peaceful.
Great news Fcnessi, I had my op done there June 28 last year and as maz said they are all lovely people. I had to wait about ten months from initial appointment till I had the op. Unfortunately not pg yet, I go back for tubal patency test on Aug 24 so hopefuly tubes arn`t blocked but it will be good to know either way.
Hope everyone else is doing well.

I go back into the clinic on the 8th of August and start my shots the same day.Ultrasound and blood tests on the 14th of August and then they have my egg pick up booked for the 20th of August if all goes well :thumbsup: :pray:

hope it all goes well for you.
Hey Storm,well they must be both good days then so i should have the best of luck :p
Hi Everyone,
OMG onemore, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Thinkin of ya darl....
Can I ask both you and maz to tell me more about your journey at the hospital. How many times did you have to go in, in the lead up to the op?? (May get a chance to rack up some frequent flyer points) What happened?? What tests do they do?? What do they say/tell you??
mumof5 - All the very best to you darl. I will be watching your progress and will be here always darl. I nevedr knew just how much this stuff akes over your life. Knowing that I'm not the only one going through it and that we can all be here for each other, is so great. Keep in touch and let us all know how it goes....
Have a great day ladies.
Hi Fcnessi, so so true about it taking over your life. I feel in my heart that i have not been happy for a long time and always angry, just not content i guess. It might sound stupid but i know once i fall pregnant i will have calm in my life and be at peace with my life. Its weird and so hard to explain. I have 5 beautiful healty children so i dont understand why i would feel like i have something missing. I just feel incomplete. I said no more after number 4 then number 5 came along and i said this is it for me so i had my tubes done and now look at me. Its funny wat you will put yourself thru to get that bundle of joy.My greatest fear was having to be put to sleep for a OP because im so scared of death but i did it and i didnt even think twice. I hate doctors and needles and taking drugs and pain,god i hate even taking panadol. But this morning i jumped out of bed grabbed my pills and took them straight away and didnt even think twice. It is so great to have other people to talk to about it and very one is so supportive and you can almost feel how happy or sad some people are just from looking at a computer screen and reading wat they have to say. I talk to DH everyday about wats going on with the girls on belly and i talk like they have been my friends for years and yet i dont even know them (hope he dont think im weird or going crazy:lol:). I tell everyone about belly cause there all great chicks!!
Hi onemore im so so sorry to hear about your grandpa,i hope you and your family are all ok.
Hi Everyone,
I so know where you are coming from on this. For as long as I can remember I have felt like part of me is missing, like I can't be truelly happy or most importantly, feel complete. My dh and I talk about it all the time and the 1 thing he keeps saying is, "But don't I make you happy". I can't yet get him to see that he does make me happier than I have ever been, but my wanting a baby is something I can't deny or hide. It is a burning inside that just won't go away.
The more and more we talk about it now that the ball is finally rolling the more I can see that dh is starting to understand and is getting in on it all too.
25 days till our trip to Melbourne and hopefully the next step for us, going on the waiting list......
mumof5 - your first day, how exciting. I'm sure it will all go well and you will be pregnant in no time... Will be thinkin of ya darl, and of course wishing you well always.
hi mumof5:hello:
that great news:dance:, everything will be great. Are you still asking for 2 eggs put back in, i'm thinking about the same thing double the chances i would love to have twins(i think)
ray:lol:
Hey storm - breath matie - he'll be ok i hope you will
Fcnessi - I had the first appointment, did bloods at day 21 of my cycle, je dhad to 'spit' ;) into a cup to check sperm count then I went back 2 weeks before my op for a pre book in then went for the op on the 4th of october...so all up 3 times - that was it.
WOO HOO mum of5 (stick you buggers stick!!!) im telling them now.
onemore - big hugs honey....its nice to hear that he died (this sounds so stupid) nicely and in no pain. and you know what they say.....with every death comes a new life FIGNERS CROSSED and I bet your grandpa is making sure that you get an extra special little person now (he''' hand pick bub's himself)
Hello everyone else - sorry for being a slacker - im still sick as a dog with m/s. I know I should b ehappy but I think Im going to cry if it stays the whole pg again
xxmaz
Hey RAY....yeah we have put our order in to have two embros put back. I read somewhere that it was our choice weather we had one or two put back. Specialist tried to talk me out of it but i stuck to my guns and said no i want two. It doubles the chances of at least getting one bundle. He kept going on that it would be a higher risk pregnancy and prem birth (which is normal for twins anyway)and blar blar blar. I just turned around and said people have twins everyday and they run the risks aswell,there is risks with every pregnancy you have but I'm up for the challenge. And he just said i'll let the nurses know for you. Its my body and i dont really want to have to do ivf again so two to me is much better then one. If we get two:pray::lol: well we will manage.
hi mumof5,
that's exactly what i have been thinking, if i get twins hopefully one is a girl at least. Can you imagine if twins were boys FIVE BOYS :lol:. Our doctor said one too but i would like to double the chances. Then i would be complete i already lost 2 babies.
i have everything crossed for you:crossfingers:
ray
Yeah Ray go for it darl you have nothing to lose and everything to gain
mumof 5 and ray - you girls go for it. I totally agree, normal twin pg's run the risk also so $hit if your happy with twins then the doctor should be happy. I'll be you cheer squad ROFL. I just hope that the emies stick for you.
ray - im so scared tht this bub is going to be another boy...3 of them and one girl OMG
12 weeks tomorrow...YAYA starting to feel 'safer' now but m/s is still really bad.
Have to organise my big little mans 7th brithday party for tomorrow 13 kids and its wet from all the rain....inside movie party by the looks of it
