It fell out! 2 births so far! :-)

I don't mind the being naked bit - it's the keyhole examination of my tubes that scares me (after sh!tloads of blood tests)... Worst still though is the reaction that Mr Windswept will have when asked to go give a sample... Not a route either of us fancy very much. So it's a race against the doctor's clock!

 

[Toots3495]

My oh is not overly impressed about the possibility of a sample either! But like I said, if I've got to give blood and god knows what else then the least he can do is have a quick go in a cup!

hey windswept, just came across this thread, keyhole is very simple hun, ive never had an operation in my life i was crappin it! ive been TTC for 4 years now and on august 18th 2010 i had keyhole to check my tubes and i also had Ovarian Drilling due to PCOS. i was sooo scared it took them so long to give me my anesthetic because i was laid outside the operating theatre saying i didnt want it and i was scared and wanted to go home lol,, i then gave in and new if i wanted to be a mum this was an option i had to take.. i then had the anesthetic and i cant remember much after that lol.. i went down at 12am and was back on the ward at 2pm and was home by 4pm. i woke up in no pain what so ever the only pain i had was the next day the gas in my shoulders, i even went on holiday 3 days after to Belgium lol i was in no pain what so every my stitches came out 2 weeks later and i have now just ovulated for the first time in 4 years im now going to be on clomid when af shows so now im just hoping and praying for my BFP, i also had a period 4 weeks after so the op didnt delay them either im now waiting on my second af to come!

i also had alot of tests in the 4 years blood work ultrasounds, lots of blood work!! and i think ive had about 10 ultrasounds plus and ultrasound in my bits to check for cysts lol!

i wish you get the outcome you want hun and i hope you lovely ladies get your BFP soon

Hey babydust1, don't they give the procedures awful names, ovarian drilling! No wonder you wanted to go home! But I'm glad to hear it was all worth it. Good luck on the clomid.

yes not something that sounds very pleasant! i really wanted to go home i was so scared i was going to be in pain and the fact that i knew they was going to be drilling my ovaries was the worst bit, lol ive just had my appt since and i learnt that my tubes wernt blocked so i just have to sit and wait for AF now to show so i can start the clomid


thank you ! babydust to you

 

[Toots3495]

Is that test a last resort after bloods and everything?

 

[babydust1]

i got told by my speicialist that doing tube checking was last resort after all my tests i had, as they wanted me to start on clomid he said it would have been better to do the drilling of my ovaries and the tube check first because it would be a waste of clomid, and drilling my ovaries makes you produce more eggs and helps you ovulate better so with the help of clomid he thinks i should be pregnant in 6 months!! i just hope sooner but ive waited 4 years so 6 months is nothing lol x

 

[Toots3495]

Thanks for the info babydust. I really hope you get your :bfp you've had quite a time of it!

 

[windswept]

Thank you for sharing your experiences - it makes me feel a lot better about it all. Not sure how far off it is for me, and hope something happens beforehand to mean I don't have to. Can't imagine how you cope with all that waiting. You deserve your positive very, very soon!

Best of wishes, Cx

 

[babydust1]

thank you very much

i hope i get it too some days i dont keep a PMA but its been a very emotional 4 years but i wont ever give up i know the day i have my baby in my arms i'll look back to these 4 years and know it was worth every min!

Hi again ladies

Welcome to the thread Babydust1 and thanks for sharing that info on what tests you have been through. I really hope all the drilling(!) and clomid brings you the you have worked so hard for. Lots of to you.

I have only been actively ttc for 7 months so far and already I'm going mad so I can't imagine 4 years of this. You so deserve your very soon.

I haven't paid a visit to docs yet so it is very good to hear the kind of things I may have to expect in the future. Planning to give it to end of the year trying and visit docs in new year if no by then

 

[babydust1]

it is hard and heartbreaking TTC it took me 4 years to the get this op to try and get things moving and all the tests you have to go through!

i didnt want to go to the doctors either but i 1st went to the doctors 3 years ago!!! and over the 3 years i just got appts saying go way try this and come back in 6 months i went back and they say it again come back in 6 months !! in the end i said cant u see ive been listed here 3 years now and been TTC for 4 years and im still waiting for u to actually do something for me!! i got so mad because most of all they dont know how hard it is they see women like us everyday but they still never know what we go through in the end he looked back at all my tests i had and my OH sperms which was perfect he had more then should have lol!! it was just my PCOS that is stopping me thats when he said wow u have actually been coming here for a long time now we will do the op and still he wanted me to have it on my bday and i said no he said ok 6 days after your bday and i agreed i got the letter and which it said august my bday was in June!! so i got mad i was just sick of waiting for something to be done ! i expected to go to dr's and get seen to and hopefully things would have got moving i'm so glad i never waited and waited for me to actually make that appt with the dr because its took so long to get where i am!

going to the dr's is a scary thought!

i hope you all get what your waiting for soon!!

 

[Toots3495]

Hey babydust, I hope you don't mind me asking but how old are you? Just wondering cos I'm 32 now and off to the docs tonight and if my whole process takes 3-4 years then I'm going to be older than I'd like to be! Hope that's not to personal.

 

[babydust1]

im 25 hun started TTC when i was 21, which im glad i did because its taken me this long and i still havent got to where i want to be and i still dont have my miracle.. x

hope you get your BFP soon Hun x

 

[Toots3495]

Thanks Hun, I'll see what happens later!

 

[Toots3495]

I had a bit of CM last night so definitely think its on its way.

Is it today you are seeing doc for a chat? x

Hey nat, been to the docs. She was really nice and helpful. Asked how long we'd been ttc and how often we she reckons that every other day is best cos it gives the oh a chance to recover, to often will deplete reserves! She seemed to think we are doing all the right things so she's referring me to a fertility doc at the hospital. Oh has to come along to give a sample, his face will be a picture! so now it's just a waiting game, hopefully it won't be ages but nhs waiting lists are not short are they! Feel better now I've been and got the ball rolling.

 

[windswept]

Great news Toots - keep us posted! You must feel a relief that things will get moving? Best wishes, Cx

 

[Toots3495]

Thanks hun, glad I've got the ball rolling. Hope the wait isn't to long but maybe now I've made that leap I'll subconsciously relax a bit. You never know maybe a is winging it's way to us all this month! Fingers crossed!

 

[mamadonna]

evening girls i'm due to o any day now,i'm trying to be more relaxed about it this month so no temping or opk's for me!

 

[windswept]

We can but hope!

I think it will help you to relax about it all a bit more - which can only be good.

I kinda wonder sometimes if this forum is helping or not... Makes me think so much more about the whole thing, but at the same time I love to be able to chat to others about it. And no matter how terrible you feel about your own situation, you realise that there are other couples out there who have had a much worse time. Trouble is, you can't help wondering if you are going to turn into one of those couples.

Anyway, Mr Windswept is out at a meeting, but when he gets in we'll work hard for our lil 'un!

Have fun tonight yourselves!
