Trying To Conceive After Tubal Reversal

[sweetlissa]

Hi Future... That is a bummer that he will be gone that long. How does an IUI work. I think do to the tubal I think we are heading in the direction. I don't want to take any chances with my last tube.

 

[ReadyWithLove]

Future - I'm sorry to hear about your dh being gone. Mine has a difficult schedule at times too. I hate being alone and get so much anxiety from it. I'm glad to hear that IUI worked for you. I'm really looking forward to it as long as my tubes are wide open and working. The first thing is to eliminate these cysts though. My poor dh is nervous about producing samples for the IUI. Did yours have the same issue?

Lisa - IUI is when they pinpoint O time and either wait for a urine LH surge or give you a HCG shot to make you O. Then they take DH's sperm and "wash" it to get just the little sperm cells. Then they put a needle/catheter through the cervix, into the uterus and inject the sperm. As I explained to my dh...then the little guys don't have to go through so many doors to get to the egg. But our tubes have to be open.

Ready, It is very normal..My poor DH hated producing his "sample" since he had to do it at the clinic ( we live an hour away so too far to do it at home)
They had a room set aside away from the main room so they could have some privacy.
But with all the tests we had to do to get to that point to me that was nothing but men have a different feelings

HI FUTURE~~~ Missed ya girl!!! Sorry your DH has to go away mine was gone all last week, 4days and I was boo hooing...I can't IMAGINE being away from him, alone etc etc for FIVE weeks..YIKES...
You'll have to do a LOT of BnB'in while he's away

Hope you DO NOT have to wait...when should you know if THIS is YOUR cycle?!?!?!?!?

Af showed today..RIGHT on time doing it's thing...today is always the day I spot and tomorrow will be full force...SOoOoOoO here we go again!!!!!
yay((sigh))

 

[tatertahelon]

hi tater - yeah my dh was back to normal today. I think yesterday was just as difficult for him. He almost passed out in the ultrasound when he saw the loads of follicles in my enlarged ovary and huge cyst. BC is birth control. They are putting me on it to hopefully get rid of the large and smaller cysts. I'm scared though. I worry about the pain and if by it rupturing will cause additional damage. They are pushing for the hsg this cycle too but it's only been 4 months since the surgery. They say it's not too early but every tubal reversal doctor says it is. I don't know what to do. I feel happy about my FS but want to make the right choices. I start the BC on CD4 and then wait for the painful rupturing of cysts. Then I will get the hsg done when the cysts are gone and begin clomid/have the IUI.

awwwwwGOOD!! I'm glad to hear it!!!!
Whoa, passing out from an U/S...he better get ready for birth!!

So BC huh? that seems SOOOo weird..so they GIVE you BC to MAKE the cyst burst? Or to REDUCE the cyst? I've never heard/known anything about any of THIS kind of stuff.....

I didn't even know what an HSG was until I started BNB....I guess all the FS do it when they are doing the TR but *I* didn't know that..and my FS never EVER mentioned it until we went in Jan b/c I was fed up and questioned HIM about it....

The SA wasn't too bad...WEIRD YES, but BAD~NO MOre FUNNY if you ask me..
A friends husband went and said there was some crazy porn playing on the tv and christian music on the radio..said he wanted to RUN right on outta there!!!! SOoo, I immediately started praying..I mean, Ummm, why can they watch porn and rock out to music but wifey couldn't accompany him?!?!? SO I just prayed that I COULD go and it was awesome...I went in w/him...was like a room(like Future said) at the end of the building~all alone..was like a lil hotel room actually, had it's own RR and a leather couch..TV, low lightening...Yeah, it was weird, we NEVER got it on in the doc office before, but it didn't take long, I helped him out and we laughed PRETTY hard through the whole thing
You make it what it is and we live like hour or better away too, so couldn't collect the sample BEFORE we went....but it was OK!!!

 

[Dash]

My husband opted to not have the SA done until there is a problem- for the same reason. Men are very different. We have babies and allow the whole world to look inside our vagina's and cram fingers in our cervix's. Men don't have anything comparable to that happen to them.

I think I remember Tater saying she got to go in with her DH when he had to give his sample? ( ETA: hey, we posted at the same time)

Soooo. I went and bought some FRER's today. My goal is still to keep them in my bathroom for as long as possible, or at least until next week. lol. I feel really AF-y so I'm not too hopeful- but then I'm a glass half empty kind of gal! Haha.

 

[tatertahelon]

yeah, I went in w/ him, I'm pretty sure now that I've experienced it ~ they would PRETTY much let you get your out in what ever manner you believe you need to have it happen...WHICH, is kinda nice, b/c EVERYONE is different and has different "needs"

You feel AF-y ALREADY? How many DPO are ya?!

 

[Dash]

6 or 7. I usually get crampy about a week before AF, and sure enough she is due in 7 days...

wow, I would NEVER have know that about myself prior to ANYTHING You're good girl!!!!!

AFM: DID get me..I KNOW FF says that CD1 is when it's FULL force, but for me it's when there's blood...It's RIGHT on (which i"m VERY thankful for) spotting late afternoon TODAY, and will be full force tomorrow late morning!!!
I KNOW I was a wreck a few days ago, but I WILL finish out THIS day BEFORE I get anxious about a new oneand, IDK WHY, but I HAVE A REAL good feeling about this cycleand am ACTUALLY pretty excited!!!

Dash. DO NOT get discouraged b/c it didn't happen on 1st try..I DID get bfp on 1st try and lost it I'd SO rather see my beloveds take a lil longer to conceive and have it LAST rather than have you go through some of the emotions I have...You've done GOOD things by waiting on your body..that's SOOO smart...you'll be blessed bc of it
love ya sweetie!!! PLUS, we don't even KNOW for SURE if af is coming..I mean, *I* can usually tell too, but sometimes life is FULL of surprises

AND WHHHHHYYY is it that as soon as af hit, so does the af poop..???? what IS that about......UGH

 

[mommax3]

wow that IUI sounds sweet I want one Im so sorry tater i really am getting so sick of that witch!!! I really dont want to see her here anymore!!!! I thought for sure you were getting your bfp this month, what more can one do to make a baby grrrrrr!!!!
Dash I hope your not out we need some more good news up in here Im really wondering about saga?!?! hope all is good has anyone talked to her?
Afm i am so bloated and gassy its not even funny I look like im 3 months preggo with a gas baby This is gonna sound weird but has anyone read the book the secret I do remember someone on one of these threads talking about it, ok anyways I read it over a year ago and I kept thinking about wanting a brand new house and that i was going to get one then my house burned down and I got one! I know the house burning down was tradgic and not the way I wished for me to get a new house but the point is I did get a new house shortly after I put the secret into practice I just imagined my new house over and over again so now im doing the same thing with getting preggo last week I imagined this was my month and im gonna be so excited to see my bfp and that I am preggo now. I know it sounds crazy but I really think putting what you want into the universe makes it happen if you always put bad stuff into the universe all it will give you is bad and if you picture what you want you shall recieve it hey you know us we will try anything lol

HI everyone. Thanks for all of your input. DH is really scared. I don't know what to tell him. I'm unsure if they would let us BD right in the office though?! I wouldn't care but he can be shy.
I'm not finding anyone with experience using high doses of BC to eliminate cysts. I have to wait until CD4 though and AF hasn't arrived so I need to just wait for now.

My best friend actually had alot of pretty bad cysts and they put her on BC for a little while then she went off and the month she went of she got her bfp Her dr also told her that pregnancy restarts the body as far as cysts are concerned so after your preggo they should not be a problem She had good results I hope you do too

 

[sweetlissa]

I have been told the same thing. I have a cyst on my left ovary. ( not sure after the last few weeks if it is still there) but... I was actually suppost to start BC pills this cycle according to my other doc to get rid of the cyst. I didn't do it due to everything else. I didn't want to mess up anything else right now. But I have had to use them in the past to get rid of cysts and for some reason they are always on my left side. But it does work. I think I was on them for about 6 months.

 

[mommax3]

how ya feeling sweets? I think that IUI sounds like it will def. do the trick are you going to try it out? or at least look into it?

 

[tatertahelon]

Ohhh ready that's cracking me up...No, you can't BD...You just have to well ya know...touch him...or HE has to touch him... you have to get the sperm in the cup, ya know like a urine sample so you gotta aim....
We didn't do oral b/c we didn't want saliva involved..it CAN have saliva, b/c they wash it anyway, but we didn't just started off ME touching, But I could tell that was taking TOO long, so I showed my (.)(.)'s and what not, wasn't long after that

 

[Dash]

OH Tater...you make me laugh...with your little boob symbols. Funny stuff.

Momma- I sure hope I'm not out too! We have had a lot of bad news lately, I know my DH could really use something good.

 

[tatertahelon]

 

[ReadyWithLove]

That's really good to hear about the BC and cysts. I'm a little scared but looking forward to getting started.

Tater - Ohhhh I get it. I thought maybe you BD in the room and he pulled out. We did that (sorry tmi) for his sample. That's good to know about the saliva honestly. I want to feel bad for him but it's hard when there's so much going on on my end of things.

Dash/Mamma - I really hope this is your month. For some reason it doesn't make me sad to see other's BFP. Sometimes I go into the BFP announcement forum just to look at everyone being so happy and excited. It gives me so much hope.

 

[tatertahelon]

Oh, wait, now I'm confused YOU DID give have a SA and you bd'd?!!!! Hahahahaha I'm rolling up in here!!!

Welp, whatever works you are AWESOME!!!!!!

Yeah, don't feel bad for him, there's no reason..YOU KNOW in the back of his mind he's all like "I'm SO glad I'm a man" I KNOW my DH is...there's NO doubt, they'd stu*id if they weren't thinking that!!!!!!

 

[ReadyWithLove]

Tater - Yea the SA story is really funny actually. Not only did we BD we were staying at my parents house and it just so happened we needed the sample that day so what were we to do. I THOUGHT my Dad had left for work so were trying all these ways to get it to work. Hands...etc Nothing was working so there we were with the cup right next to us trying to just get it over with. We finally got it to work and we walked out of the bedroom and there's my Dad standing in the kitchen and there's me with a cup of sperm. I was like OMG OMG we need to leave now...OMG. I keep encouraging him to just produce the SA himself and he's being difficult.
