Trying To Conceive After Tubal Reversal

[Mommabrown]

Hi ladies. We are home safe and sound. I wanted to give you an update. But before that Congrats to Herbie. I am so happy for you.
AFM AF came on Friday Night Saturday Morning. By the time we got to Vegas, which would have been 3:00 A.M. in ohio. I was spotting and by 7 AM vegas time it was really bad. So bad that I had to call the doc and he called me in a RX (Provera). I was going through a Pad and a Tampon in less then 2 hours. He had me do a beta out there. It was 4. So he said that he couldn't say I was pregnant but that was only because it was less then 5. He said that it very well could have been a chemicle or one that just didn't implant fully. I have had lots of clots and lots of really bad cramps. So much for fun in vegas. Although I did have a good time. I was beat and didn't feel good for the most part. We laid out in the sun went to see a few shows and just kinda vegged. My hubby was very understanding. And took his coat with him everywhere we went just incase i bleed through my pants which happened twice. Anyway. So now I am taking provera. He said it should make my uterus a happy place for implantation. And should help with the bleeding. I didn't get it until yesterday morning seems it was the weekend. I have noticed a difference today with the bleeding Although I still bleed through to my pants. So embarassing btw...

Oh Lissa so sorry Hun! What a wonderful DH you have. Sorry your vac didn't turn out the way you had planned. Hope that the provera helps you.

So ladies another day of wanting to pound my head on the table... 15 dpo and still no AF and my temps are all still high. After two i don't want to even want to think of peeing on a stick just to get my hopes up even more. I have a dr. appt next week to see if my hormones are out of balance. I just can't wrap my head around this. I have been so tired lately from the emotional stress i am causing myself and the retched storms we have been getting lately that i think that i am just not balanced out. Hope that everyone has a good day.

MommaB: That is confusing wonder what's up? I have heard that storms really can mess you up! When did you test last? That's crazy that your temp is still up...how many cycles have you been temping? I'm wondering what day you usually see the temps start to fall. Are you 100% on what day you O'd? Did FF give you a dotted or solid line? Hmmmm, I would try testing again in the AM Temps staying up is good maybe it's just taking a bit for HCG to show

 

[Dash]

Relax MommaBrown! We all had funny cycles after our TR's...sorry about your BFN. I bet your body is just getting back to normal

CDN we did see 2 shows we saw. Criss Angel. We actually walked out of his show it was horrible and well all he wanted to do was impress the pretty girls. There was no magic there. We also went and saw LeReve it was AMAZING. I loved every minute of it. So did my hubby.
Someone said something about Iron. Could that be why I have been so tired. Even when we were in Vegas I had no energy. I would actually fall asleep sitting up. Don't tell my hubby but I fell asleep several times at the shows.

Well I have only been charting for the month of may. I just got home back from seeing my regular dr. I have strep throat again. Had it last month too. That is why my temps are staying high. No i actually O'd 2 days later i guess because i have a dotted line on the 13th.?? I am very knew at charting temps with FF. Dr. is running a FSH and Progesterone level on me should know results sometime tomorrow he said.

sickness...I totally forgot that would keep your temps up. You poor dear strep throat is the PITS! As for temps...it's really nice once you get a few charts and can compare, but I do have to say...it seems that it can take SEVERAL cycles to see a consistent pattern of any kind following the TR That's great that your dr. is running those 2 tests...I hope you get great results Take care of yourself

Lissa: sorry AF was so brutal to you too this month Hopefully you have some good memories of your trip, regardless

CDN: I hope those numbers pick up the pace so you can be back TTC. Yes, I decided to wait on my BFP this month so we can both get BFPs this cycle

Ladies, I hope everyone is doing okay this evening

Hey ! Have any of you Tubal Reversal patients ever had recurrent miscarriages after your tubal? I just had my 3rd at 12 weeks and am wondering if I should move forward and try again or just call it quits? It gets kind of depressing, and for sure time is not on my side (36)!!

Yes but I figured out if I just wait about 5 seconds before I click to the last page, it's all good. Try that

I'm so sorry for your loss. That's very sad. I don't think there's any data for recurring m/c after TR's so it's unlikely related to your surgery. Do you have a specialist following you? I know that I've read that after multiple miscarriages, they start checking for things like low progestorone and possible blood clotting issues. Both can be easily rectified with treatment if they catch it early enough. I think it's definitely time to be assessed so you can avoid such heartbreak again. P.S. you still have time. I am 38.5 and am not giving up anytime soon. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

Hi there, is it possible that you O'd late? My cycles were not consistent after my TR and I was using opks and O'd 5 days late on my third cycle. Had I not known that, I would have been waiting forever for AF. If your temps are still up, you're not out so try and relax. Fingers crossed......

Wow, Im really sorry for your losses. THe miscarriage rate does seem to be a bit higher for TR girls, but they seem to be early miscarriages (before 6 or so weeks) not late miscarriages. I agree with CDNMom that you should talk to your doc- there could be another issue that your doctor can help you with.

Liberty..no new advice..I agree completely with Dash & CDN, but just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for your losses such heartbreak! Especially when you've reached that 12 week mile stone I start feeling a bit panicked, too, as I'm 36 as well. BUT, I plan to have babies as long as I can...even into my 40's. A lady at my church had a healthy baby girl at age 45! They weren't even trying!!! She and dh had two children already...23 and 19 and just couldn't have anymore after that. They had given up YEARS before but her dh kept praying for another baby and she finally arrived

Keep pressing on

Eugh I feel so discouraged today! My husband was such a great help to me the first month I was so sick. He cleaned and cooked when he got home- just generally did what I couldn't during the day. Well, when all of our stuff got messed up in Japan he started having to work long shifts- 12 hours, until 9pm. My children haven't had a home cooked meal in weeks, and my house is an eternal disaster.

The kids are leaving today for a 3 day vacation with friends. I know they need to have some fun, and Im excited for them. I will have NO KIDS for 2 whole days- and Im hoping I can get some laundry done and meals stored so I dont feel so bad about them eating cereal every night.

Girl I felt the same way we havent eaten at home in 4 weeks and if we did it was def. cereal or sandwiches. dont be so hard on yourself your house will not fully fall apart if you dont clean and the kids probably are not to upset about eating cereal I feel bad for you I was sick for 4 weeks and I thought I was going to die you have been sicker longer you poor girl try to relax those days doing to much will surlymake you sick

Dash: in your moments of feeling well, try to throw together a soup or casserole in the crock-pot...feed the family half & freeze half of it. When you make something easy, like spaghetti...make double and freeze half. I'm trying to do this in anticipation of a BFP OR just a convenience when we're working on projects and I don't want to stop and make dinner. We try not to eat out AT ALL (except when we travel) ...it's so expensive for us with 2 teenagers and dh when eating out and plus, you just don't know what kind of crap is in the food

Also, can't remember the ages of your kiddos..but it's pretty surprising what they can make! Have you ever made english muffin pizzas? Super easy and something the kids (and dh overseeing) can make...also when you're feeling well, make some muffin mixes (you can make these much healthier than store bought..google it if you don't have any recipes for this) and then your kids just add a few wet ingredients, scramble some eggs (or hard boil them)..maybe some fruit and that's a great dinner, too. (or breakfast, of course) My daughter is almost 9 and she loves to cook and does really well! I know she'll be a huge help if we ever get our BFP

Oops, forgot one more REALLY easy recipe that kids can make! Taco Soup! My favorite recipe comes from Hillbilly Housewife..have any of you been on this site? Here's the link ....https://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/crockpottacosoup.htm
oh! also, their "magic milkshakes" are GREAT! We make these all summer long https://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/magicmilkshakes.htm

I hope this *season* passes soon for you two

The whole container of soft cheese and 3 cinnamon rolls I ate today tell me the end is in sight

We usually eat all whole foods- I buy no preservatives or chemicals. Good stuff. Not lately, but I'm sure I will get back to it. With summer coming I know it will be easier to come across fresh things that sound good.

I will have to look at those sites, thanks Faith!
