Hey Rosa, I am sorry about your tubes... but what does it means they are weak? if they are open, then the egg can go through and get implanted in your uterus...
That's good that your doc was able to get rid of the endo he found... maybe after this procedure you have more chances? I don't understand why having thin tubes would affect?
We expect life go the way we planned (e.g. your hubby would never want a baby through ivf) but life takes you somewhere else, and the reality is different... once you are in those shoes you can really make a decision, but not before... of course non of us would like to go through fertility treatment... I never ever imagine I will be a year trying for a baby, I never imagine talking about doing IUI... But life takes you places, and it makes you appreciate life much more... we are a miracle... and I am just thankful for existing...
Thanks for sharing your story... It was very important that your mom went with you, and that you were not alone...
Hi, arianne. I also don't know what "thin and weak" tubes mean. I have my consultation at the end of the month. I hate that I have to wait that long! Who knows if what my mom translated from the doc is the actual truth...I just don't know! But we're out of town, then I have a class...blah blah blah. I'll be very interested in what he has to say. Before the lap, he said he wanted to see what kind of condition the tubes are in, because even though they may be open does not mean that they are in good enough condition to conceive. So, that's all I can think of. Who knows.
I feel so blessed and thankful that my mom was able to be here. There are some situations that you just need your mom, you know? The recovery has NOT been fun, that's for sure. I can almost stand up straight and I pooed for the first time in 3 days.
I was scared to do that...you forget how much you use your abdomen and core until you can't use it!
As for my dh, he seems to be okay with IVF. I think we were both just in shock. And you're right, life takes us to places we never thought we'd have to be. It's easy to sit on the sideline and judge people who do IVF, because what do you do with the fertilized eggs that you don't use? That's a life in that dish! But, from what I've read, you can discuss this with the doc so you only fertilize a few, freeze a few, and eventually use them all. We can also donate them. Geez, to give someone a gift like that...wow. That would be so special. Dh keeps talking about twins and the process in general, as if he's thinking we'll be doing it in the next few months, which makes me happy. We just have a million questions for the doc right now. The good news is that his sister went through it a few years ago, and can talk about it until she's blue in the face, so at least we have someone close that has gone through it.
Rosa - I am sitting here crying for you - it seems so unfair. Thank godness your mum went with you. However, the diagnosis sounds strange - have never heard of thin tubes and I have researched this stuff ALOT . I think you need more info, as to me the fact he found endo and got rid of it sounds really, really positive...
My dh said he didnt want anything unatural either but as time has gone on I think he would do anything now. Sounds like your dh is thinking the same.
When is your next appointment to talk about your options? It sounds like you need more info. Massive hugs xx
End of the month. We need a lot more info, that's for sure. I started crying when I read that you were crying. I've been crying a lot today. I was a MESS at church today. It's the first time I've been out of the house since Thursday, and of course the message was about hopelessness and how God meets us where we are and never leaves us. I was sobbing. Literally sobbing. And it hurts to engage my abs, so crying hurts! 
I am not getting this green stuff, but a lot of brown and reddish-brown globs of stuff. I would call the doc just in case. How are you feeling? I'm day 3 after the lap, and just now feel okay enough to leave the house. Thank goodness I'm a teacher and can take all the time off I need right now! I hope you're doing okay. Glad to hear that everything checked out good for you! Are you going to move onto an IUI you think?
Ladies, I'm so thankful for this thread, and for you. So thankful to have someone that I can tell (or rather, write ) all of my fears and sometimes irrational thoughts to. You're the best. Thank you. 
arianne
We're off on a vacay next week together so that's exciting.
and once you start it just goes on and on, my eyes were so swollen in the morning!
