A Little About Me A Little About You

[Shey]

You're welcome star baby. Yes I have a 4 1/2 year old son who has mild high functioning autism. I've been ttc for awhile.

Thanks Shey! I am new to this! It's nice to get a warm welcome. The first post I made was not necessarily warmly accepted on an existing "forum". How long have you been TTC? Do you have any other children? I hope to find lots of new buddies, to chat with as we embark into year 2 of trying for #3.

Well, I hope it happens for you soon. I am patiently, impatiently waiting. driving me crazy, waiting on the BFP. Can't necessarily complain with all the that is going on. Just thought it would happen by now. My husband and I have both been tested. I've had a hsg, and he a SA. Guess we just haven't been lucky yet

 

[Shey]

It'll happen. Just have fun with it

Totally having fun with it. I have a question, as you know I am new to all this. How do you know that you have a new message from someone, without having to go thru 10,000 diffent forums/discussions to find the one you had previously been on. i feel totally illiterate when it comes to this kind of thing. But need someone to talk to about everything we have gone through. DH doesn't exactly understand what I am going through as he has never tried to get anyone pg before. It would just be nice to have a couple friends that understand.

[Debbie99]

After having my youngest child I had the implant back then they lasted 5 years . After that ended I begged the doctors to sterilise me . I had my children and didn't want any more 7 years later aged 35 I met a wonderful man ( and believe me I know a good one when I sees them) we were only together 6 months when I agreed to be undone so I could have his only child , he was 37 then and been responsible not flitting from woman to woman .
I booked in for the op privately as we couldn't get it on NHS , we paid £3000 and I thought it would be as easy as it was to sterilise me , they did by key hole , but they didn't they cut me open all the way across my belly I was in agony for weeks the tablets knocked me out and made me feel worse.

6 months later I was expecting , we were understandably delighted at 6 weeks I started bleeding and was in a lot of pain . I had an emergency scan and they found it and said it seemed ok so we went home that night the pain got worse and went to the toilet and lost the feutus we went to hospital , not really knowing what to expect , but long story short when I finally got to see a doctor his response was " sounds like you've had a miscarriage I don't know why you came here , do you want some pain killers"? I went home and wept all night ,

We Complained about our treatment and got a written apology ( all we wanted really , never wanted any compo that's not why we complained ) we got over it and carried on 6 months later I was pregnant again , but again lost at 6 weeks this time in the car park of the hospital .

The doctor said it wasn't uncommon to have 2 in a row and if I had another they would investigate, so once again we went home with nothing, 6 months later again , I was pregnant , but started to bleed but this time it was different it wasn't a lot and the pains were different we went out for the day and when we came back I couldn't walk I was in so much pain , again we went to the hospital , they gave us an emergency scan but couldn't find it , the spent ages 2 doctors and 2 machines later they still couldn't find it they gave me blood tests which told them I was 7 weeks pregnant , and kept me in for further tests 24 hours later the tests showed that the pregnancy hormone was increasing as much as it should be, they diagnosed it as ectopic and needed an emergency operation to remove it ,

So on feb 14 2012 I was cut open again across my belly to remove my right tube they told him I would be in the theatre for 1 and half hours
( when I was 3 hours he thought that something had wrong and I had died),
I was in agony I cried for days I left hospital 6 days later again childless and devastated

We carried on as normal ( my youngest daughter , then aged 15 was a victim of a crime ) meanwhile we never had any more luck getting pregnant we went to the doctors and had all the tests . They made us an appointment at the fertility clinic in the hospital ( which is in the same ward as the pregnancy care ward)

On tues last week we were told that all the tests were fine but that it means that the left tube is probably blocked ( and I have no right tube) I haven't stopped crying again for days
The only way they can find out for sure if it means another operation , ok this time it's keyhole and wouldn't mean they cut me open again , but if it is there is nothing they can do
We can private IVF but its £3000 again and only a 1 in 5 chance, I feel so sorry for my partner he doesn't have any children because he was so responsible as a youth and didn't sleep around , and didn't get women pregnant he's now 39 and were both devastated and I don't know how we can carry on from this, I have asked him if he wants me to leave , he said no, but he would wouldn't he , he puts up with all the crap that my teenagers throw at him , and he will never get that experience that for himself, he would make a fantastic dad , not like all these men that neglect their responsibility . I am so down at the moment I can't see an end. I love him so much I just wanted to make him happy , and I tried so hard and went through tremendous pain and nearly died. I feel so useless
