Joining in! I'm on round 2 of TTC since the VR. About 4dpo today.

Hey everyone! Lots to catch-up on

Great news ttcpost vr!

My DH decided today that he doesn't want any more children I'm in the 2ww, so hopefully it's too late!

I hope he doesn't really mean that and changes his tune.

My husband says these things sometimes, it's because the fact that it's not happened makes him feel defective.

Sapphire- hopefully you are right.if not, hopefully he will change his mind!

I got my 2nd beta back. 42 was my first one, 49 hours later, it was 101!!! 37ish hours doubling time!!! Ahh!!!! I'm def on cloud 9! I can't believe this might actually be happening!

It is happening hun!

AF has arrived

contacted a fertility clinic today and booked an appointment for me and OH in May. I've got FSH of 18 (which is crap) and gonna have an AMH taken in the beginning of May - I'm sooo nervous about that And my OH SA is due between middle of April and beginning of May also

This is so nerve wrecking I can hardly think straight.

Got a reading from a woman who is good which I normally uses about how we're going to be able to conceive our child, and she said we're probably not gonna and adoption seems in the cards for us. I'm TOTALLY panicking now!! I broke down completely on Friday and haven't recovered yet. I see no future now what so ever all of a sudden. So terrible. I wish I never had that reading.

Sorry the witch arrived hun.

Don't get yourself down over a reading hun I really do think they can be dangerous and not because of any accuracy - because people set all their hopes on what they say and it's crushing to hear some things.

I'm sorry AF arrived Heramys

Please don't pay attention to these readings .... I'm speaking from experience. I had 4 readings from different psychics, all said I'd fall pregnant at Xmas with a little girl. Xmas came and went, and no pregnancy. I've since been told that I'd have a little boy in October. Guess what? Jan passed and no positive test. The only pregnancy so far was the one I've just lost, I would've been due in Nov - not one single reading mentioned it.

Take it all with a pinch of salt huni, I'm sure for every reading they get correct, there are 9 other ladies left heartbroken by an incorrect reading and false hope.

I agree totally re. readings. They're fine as a bit of fun but not to be taken seriously

Hello all!! Sorry I have been MIA once again. Wanted to say congrats to everyone who got their BFP! Congrats!

As for me, no such Blessing yet. We are waiting for DJ's latest SA results so my doctor can referring an RE to for IUI. I have already talked to the RE clinic and TRi-care. We just will have to pay for the procedure. Tricare pics up the tab for the rest. But they said its best to get his results first in order to go in armed. My PCM is kinda difficult and doesn't get that we need to go. DH's surgeon even said so. Anywho that's what's going on. I at peace with it. So we will see. Have a good day all!

Carlise

:wave: hiya hun!

All the best with the SA and IUI

Hi Yourstruely, I'd imagine that as its such a short time between his vasectomy and reversal, the chances are very very good for a successful outcome. Many of us here have OHs with near on 10years between the original V and reversal and managing to get our BFPs (I fell pregnant but recently MC - OHs vasectomy was 12 years old).

It's a big decision, especially regarding the money involved but I believe the sooner the reversal happens, the greater the chances of success. Good luck!

TTC - fabulous news about darker tests, ravenous hunger and feeling yucky - all very good signs. Good luck for your U/S!

AFM - I'm fine, back to normal (whatever THAT means!) and I'm determined NOT to obsess about having a human baby ... So I've just gone and got myself a horse baby . I know I'm obviously bonkers but this lil chap was just too good to pass up! He was a straight swap for my smaller pony that my daughter has outgrown and I'd planned to sell. He's gorgeous, my new obsession. He'll take much of my time and concentration over the summer as I continue his education and get him out and about to comps - ill have no time to obsess over babies! He's 4 years old and the sweetest thing on 4 legs

Yourstruly, I agree that the shorter the time since the V the better chances of VR working. Only other thing I can say is research surgeons and choose the best one you can find

Chatty your new horsey sounds gorgeous

Sounds positive hun! I really hope it all goes well for you xx

:wave: Hi! Welcome to the group

to all!

[sapphire1]

Carlise, hope the SA comes back with great results.

Welcome Lee :wave:

YoursTruly, I agree with the other girls. The less time between V and VR the better. My DH's V was 6 years before the VR, and I have become pregnant twice (one ended in MC).

Hope you're feeling well ttcpostvr

Clare, best of luck!

Chatty, new horse sounds gorgeous

AFM, DH still hasn't changed his mind about wanting more kids and he's increasingly miserable. SD has gone depressed again after being really happy for a week, I'm pretty sure the way he's being is linked to that. I'm about 8 dpo so we will see what happens.

to all!

 

[tallybee]

Oh sapphire hun I'm sorry, I remember you saying about your SD before, the situation sounds really tricky I'm not surprised it's stressing your DH out... is SD getting help?

 

[sapphire1]

Oh sapphire hun I'm sorry, I remember you saying about your SD before, the situation sounds really tricky I'm not surprised it's stressing your DH out... is SD getting help?

She has an appt with the child & adolescent mental health service, but it's not til July and she keeps saying she doesn't want to go. We are pretty sure that a lot of it is attention seeking, she has been like that since I have known her (she was 10 years old). It seems to depend on her friend situation, she was on top of the world a week ago, now her boyfriend seems to have dumped her she's depressed again. She seems to be playing everyone off against each other, she knows she'll get more sympathy from SIL so she goes to her. She has given up telling me because she knows I will tell her school counsellor. The whole thing is ruining mine and DH's relationship, I could easily walk away right now, especially now he's put a ban on more babies

So sorry hun it must be so tough. At her age things like being dumped and friend situations can feel like the end of the world..... It's shocking how long it can take to get an appointment with mental health services I don't know what to say really, how well do you get on with SIL?

 

[ttcpostvr]

Ladies! I have to apologize. I opened my eyes this morning and my first thought was, "SOFTCUPS!" We used softcups for the first time last cycle when I got pregnant. If you haven't used them, I would def recommend trying them out! I actually felt like all the little swimmers were staying right where they needed to be!!! Loves pretty ladies! 6 days til my u/s! we are very anxiously waiting!

 

[chattyB]

Softcups are great! Hubby and I use them during my fertile window. Infact, the only pregnancy I've had was when (TMI alert coming up ...) hubby had had a bit of a drink after our valentines meal ... He was, shall we say, a little worse for wear? His mind was willing but his body unable. So, being O day and because he wanted to stay in the "good books" he actually did the deed IN the softcup. I popped it in and it seemed to work - I fell pregnant.

Worth a thought?!

 

[sapphire1]

I tried softcups with preseed last month, they didn't work for me I decided to NTNP after that, so we'll see.

Tally, I get on well with SIL, so that's good at least

 

[ttcpostvr]

chatty, that is AWESOME! so funny. your own form of artificial insemination! lol

sapphire, i've been thinking about you! how many dpo are you now?

 

[sapphire1]

Um, I think I'm around 11dpo. Have poas for the last 2 days and got bfn. Don't think there is much of a chance this cycle, but I'm thinking positive

 

[ttcpostvr]

My first positive showed at 12 dpo. It was so light, I missed it, when I went back to look at it again, a tiny something was there, thought it might be an evap, so I tested again that evening, and TADA it WAS positive! Good luck! Maybe your faint line will show in a couple of days!

 

[slinkymalinki]

Hi ladies,

I have been stalking this thread for a week now trying to catch up on your experiences and get a picture in my head of the success of VR, but it seems everyone is so different. I am a bit apprehensive.

5 days ago my partner had his VR. His V was done in 2006 while I was pregnant. We decided at that point we didn't want anymore children. Things change. I think I actually felt that it was a big mistake quite soon after he has the vasectomy.

I am so nervous about whether this is going to be successful.

 

[ttcpostvr]

No need to worry! Welcome to the group!
There are many vr ladies that get pregnant just a few months post vr

I highly recommend the home semen analysis from early-pregnancy-tests.com. it was dead on with the results from our actual semen analysis. And it was abolutely an INCREDIBLE experience to be able to see all those little swimmers... I cried... and I think dh even got a little teary eyed!

 

[tallybee]

Hi slinkymalinki, welcome to the group! I hope your partner's recovery is good, and that you get the result you're after

Sapphire that's good hun, that you and SIL get on. So much harder to deal with things if people don't get on in the first place!

xx

[slinkymalinki]

Are there still many ladies in this group still trying post VR? Also have a lot of ladies in this group gone on to conceive?

Through reading from 2010 - to present it seems many ladies have disappeared from this group. I hope these ladies conceived and have gone on to have babies

 

[tallybee]

A few did have babies already! There have been lots of post-VR s

 

[slinkymalinki]

That is so great to hear I can't wait to start trying. Frightened that we will fail though...
I am going to purchase a Micra.

 

[sapphire1]

Welcome slinky

I have a post VR baby, she's 15 months old and was conceived 4 months after the VR. I have been pregnant again since, but sadly lost the baby. So it can happen! I was very apprehensive and was convinced the VR wouldn't work, but I was proved wrong
