Thanks girls, Mammyjuls i know how you feel its gonna take us a while to save we havent even started yet i just wish hed not had it done but he wasnt to know what the future held for him, he had it in 2009 so not that long ago, i just want to know its gonna be ok...im also 36 and feel im getting older now aswell and ive had miscarriages before that worries me also,

liveinhope thank you hun, i too follow his page on facebook its lovely and gives me lots of hope, its a lovely page seeing all the sucess stories. do you mind if i PM you for info or advice? its such a big thing for me, im just thank ful DP is going to do it and go through with the OP as when we got together it took me ages to ask him with him having 3 already and all the crap he had with his nasty ex i didnt think he would want anymore, surprisingly im amazed he is more than willing and is even worse with me with the broodiness! lol xxxx

hey hunny, aw it sounds very similar to me and my hubby...with 4children with his ex i was shocked he wanted more with me after she went all crazy on him iwas surprised we even got married...but he wanted to (and i did as well obviously) and we are very happy

Please do PM me whenever chick, more than happy to help! xx

Hi me and my husband are trying to save to have vescetomy reversal and it is a little depressing as taking a long time and I am not getting any younger just really hope it happens soon

hey, i remember feeling the same...luckily we had abit of luck come our way and we were able to get it done otherwise i think we would have still been saving....the hospital hubby had his reversed at was a BMI hospital and they do payment plans which we would have done if needed. So i imagine other hospitals would offer similar payment plans worth looking into I guess xx

 

[rachy28]

Spire offer payment plans also. We just saved up and once we got halfway there we booked our first consultation (amazingly it was free), it took us another 3 months to save the other half and we managed to pay for the op just a week before. So we started saving in August and finished april-8 months, seemed like a lifetime but definitely worth it

thanks and thankyou rachy and liveinhope. ive tried PMing but i cant find an option to? maybe im missing something lol.

somedays it gets to me wishing we could sort it all out now then other days (like todaY) its not bugging me as much. the main thing that bugs me is i wish we just had the money in savings to choose an op date, get it done, take it from there.

we dont want a baby just yet though, even if he had the Op this year, we'd still wtt id go on the pill for a while (mini pill) and then we would wtt and then decide, i want to wait till at least next year to ttc. Want to enjoy my boys and wait until they are a little bigger and fin is at school (my youngest, he starts in september)

just wish we had the money im gonna apply for a BMI card today and see but i dont have credit i dont think to get one, although it does say how someone else can take a card out for you if you dont have credit, which is a fab option.

Jen xxxx

aww it sounds frustrating hun, this sounds like the biggest obstacle, so i hope you get over it soon! if you click on our name it comes up with some options and 'send a private message' is one of the options! Xx

 

[rachy28]

Dh did his second SA this morning, thankfully we managed to persuade our gp to fund it on the nhs, we should get the results next week & we're hoping there's something still there or atleast some sort of answer as to why we're not pregnant x

 

[live_in_hope]

oooh good luck! keep us posted on the results...you may get your bfp before then anyway xxx

 

[rdleela]

Good luck, Rachy, crossing fingers for a good result and some answers!

 

[live_in_hope]

Xxx

Hi Ladies, i am new here and have a few questions.

I have finally persuaded dh to have a reversal, he had the vasectomy about 3 years ago, we had an early baby born at 28 weeks, due to pre eclampsia, dd is now 6 and i really feel i want to have another baby now, well have done for the last two years but dh was not in favour, think i have gotten over the worries we had been feeling of having another early baby which was why my dh had the vasectomy in the first place, but thankfully my bp is under control. I am 35 and dh is 41.

I am in Ireland and there are no surgeons over here that specialise in reversals so think its time to look further a field.

Two places that have been recommended to me are Duncan Harriss clinic and also Dawson Microsurgery, am i missing any?

would love feedback on both, they both seem to be nearly the same cost and £2900. Are most places around this price? (better get saving)

 

[rachy28]

Hi, welcome. I hope you figure out where to have the vr. I too came across Mr Harriss and Dr Dawson but decided against both. My dh had his vr done by Dr Benjamin Jenkins at Spire Washington Tyne & Wear Hospital, it cost £2600 and was technically a success despite not actually getting pregnant yet. He had a great sperm count
There are many here who have used the surgeons you mentioned so im sure someone can help you x

 

[live_in_hope]

hey there! :wave: i am one of dr.harriss' success stories! we paid less than £2000 about £1980 I think it was and that was in 2010. ..he was great, came very well recommended and the whole procedure from start to finish was great. good luck on your vr journey! xx

 

[Babybabyno2]

Hi ladies, thanks for the replies, will keep on with my research

hi hun and welcome im going through the same at the moment hun and we are definitely going with dr harris in Nottingham, also dr dawson sounds good but going by the reviews and facebook page we have chosen dr harris, we need to start saving too so very early days for us so in a very similar situation. I think most places are around this price or just under. please feel free to PM me to chat as I really want to make new friends who are going through the same so we can support each other,

love Jen xxx

Hey,
So Im new here and just wanted to say hi and ask some questions. My fiance is going to the dr. On the 17th for a consultation for a reversal. He has two kids from previous relationships and I have none. So I am very excited that he agreed to get it done. But at the same time im terrified it wont work. He's 37 so he doesnt want to wait too long. How long does it usually take to get in with a surgeon? Healing process? Average time to concieve? Sorry, but I am going crazy waiting for his doctor appointment!

 

[rachy28]

If youve got the funding and your surgeon is available then you should be able to have the vr approx 2 or more weeks after consultation.
My dh was fine to dtd after 1 week but we were advised to abstain for 3 weeks, I think we lasted 11 days
Its been over 9 months for us and still no bfp yet x

 

[wannabemom902]

Thanks, we have the funding as we were planning this for awhile but we work away from our family doctor. Good luck to you! I hope you get your bfp soon!

 

[rdleela]

I'm in Canada and we had to wait about 3 months for our surgery, and that was on the short side!

Rachy, I'm sorry AF got ya

 

[rachy28]

As promised, here are dh's latest SA results:
Volume: 4.1ml
Count: 15m/ml (previously 26.25 m/ml)
Motility 32% rapid linear, 15% slow progressive, total 47% ( previously 14% rapid linear, 40% slow progressive)
Morphology : 97% abnormal forms (previously 94%).
The also did a MAR test and this is what ive been in tears over all day:
100% IgG
72% IgA
Basically we will never achieve natural pregnancy so it looks like ICSI is our only option
