Trying To Conceive After Tubal Reversal

[tatertahelon]

AHHHH DASH AND MOMMA AND FAITH!!!! fx'd this is THE month for HOW super freaking awesome WOULD THAT BE!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to hear some good ole bfp news!!!!!!!!!!! that's what we need up in here!!!!!

So, ok, I got IUI q...I am watching this show about multiples and the girl had unexplained fertility so had IUI and they are saying how they didn't wanna 3 kids..so it was either 2 or 4...So, they did the IUI got preg right away and there were quad's...SO how DOES the IUI work then...I mean HOW MANY sperm do they flush up in there? 40 million? I mean WHOA....that's a LOT to be messing with...I guess I thought of it as pretty simple until this show...like if *I* did an IUI is there a chance of quad's ? that's kinda scary....Future, you may be the girl to answer this!!!!!!

 

[tatertahelon]

GOoD morning girls :wave:
So momma, that's weird, your chart indicates to ME that CD14 would have been O day...I guess FF doesn't like your temps? Is that possible? I got an open circle today???and cannot know why...There are MORE GOOD qualities to FF than not, but it can be frustrating...hey, remember you had a question and you were going submit it to the advisors ~ did they ever get back to you on that???

DASH..I KNOW, like it's killing me worse than you NOT, but ya know what I mean!!! SOoOoOoOOOoO, did you test??!?!?!

Spuggle, Gotta keep your PMA in good standing sweetie, no sense in worrying, all that will do is take your peace away and stress ya out..you don't need that
Like your tat...is that fresh ink? I LOVE ink..me and DH have lots and always want more..in the process of a sleeve right now!!!!!

Faith~your chart is rocking girl....It's pretty different from last cycle isn't it? WIll you test early, or wait it out?
Come on BFP!!!!!!

Lissa, WHHHHY did FF give me an open circle today??? If you look at my chart overlay there's really NO reason for it....I was SUPER covered up and sleeping really hard when I FINALLY heard my alarm...I temped a lil late, but only by 15min....that's NOT drastic....
You are my chart go to girl...lemme know what you think!!!!

Future, how you doing sweetie?? Has your DH gone away yet?? Hope to hear from ya, we'll keep ya company

AFM: AF is Nearly over!??? This has been an AWESOME period!!!! I usually have to wear a super plus tampon AND a extra long pad and this time I've only used a tampon once, and that was yesterday to worship(just in case )and today it's nearly gone..I even went to the and ya know how that pushes stuff out..and it was barely there..Hmmmmmm,,, I Mean, a super easy, light period-- I should be welcoming it, but it DOES concern me a little ..WHY ?
I'm REALLY looking forward to getting it on..DH was away for a week and for some reason we haven't touched each other since he got back..? I AM SOOOOO READY for some love THIS will be our month!!!!!!!

have a great day girls...Not much happening here today, we are just hanging out ...sO I'll be in and out

I would have to guess at the reason being you must have put in a different time. If you don't have the time set to be the same time every day then a different time would give you an open circle. Sorry it took so long to get back with ya.. Been busy today

Oh no, no apologies..that's OK sweets!!! mmm, speaking of sweets, I like cake...

ANYWHO, my NORM temp time is 6am, but today I temped at 6:15~I've put diff times in and didn't give me an open circle..and really, if you look at my chart overlay..the temps really aren't THAT far apart...I guess *I* was assuming that b/c it was higher than FF thought it should be....?

 

[mommax3]

tater they give you meds to O and in doing so it makes alot of folicles which can lead to multiples

 

[mommax3]

future Im soooo sorry hun
dash Im really bloated today and just feel really blah! I wish i could poas lol but its to early plus I refuse to do that to myseld anymore the first few cycles I poas from 6dpo and it made me nuts!!!!! you have no choice now but to poas in the am how could you not knowing you might have a bfp to be seen Do you have any weird aches in your lower abdomen?

 

[Dash]

Yeah, but weird aches mean nothing...I also get those before AF, and she is due Friday. Trying not to SS. Haha. Soooooo hard.

[FaithHopeLove]

found me today... a full three days early

sorry what a looooong road this is...have a good cry, eat some chocolate, pick your head up and look forward Give your sweet Emily extra hugs and kisses You're so, so blessed to have a TR baby They are a rare jewel This is a harsh reality we all have to accept I have come to realize this is WHY so many dr.'s say that TL is permanent and not reversible. About 4 years after my TL, I was talking with my dr. and told her we would really love more kids and we were considering TR. She said "Oh, no! Your TL is permanent...you'll need to do IVF if you want anymore children." I'm really grateful for TR experts...mine said my chances were higher with a TR than IVF but, WOW! so much emotion wrapped up in EVERY single month that passes it's really exhausting AGAIN, I'm sorry this wasn't your month

So true Faith, it's a long hard journey but there are pll who bring us good news and hope for tr babies.

 

[sweetlissa]

Yes babies...Lots and Lots of babies

 

[mommax3]

faith my gyno said the same thing and was so cold and harsh about it! If I did'nt google my options I would have never found out about TR this is very very hard and I hate to admit it but its really effecting my life Im very short these days my mood sucks most of the time i find myself forcing myself to be nice and happy. I hate it I feel like so much of my life is passing me by and im not truly enjoying it

 

[ReadyWithLove]

future - I'm sorry AF arrived today. These TR babies are so hard on all of us to create.

Dash - Did you poas today or are you waiting?

Tater - I bought the meca, royal jelly, and probiotics (two kinds though). My total with shipping was 78$ and it should all last 2 months I believe. As for the IUI yes there are a risk of multiples because they put you on fertility meds to make you O and then in my case they will be giving me and HCG shot to make me O on a specific day. The added sperm won't bring about the multiples. It just depends on if more than one egg is released. In my case I think when I get to that point, assuming I have open and working tubes, I will have about a 10% chance of twins. I'm only being put on clomid so I don't think I'm at as high of a risk for twins compared to injection fertility drugs.

so they are having you take clomid then they will be doing the IUI? how much does your IUI cost? I wonder how long i have to keep trying before they will just let me do iui?!?!

 

[future_numan]

I had to wait one year before they would consider IUI. We did two sessions of IUI with the help of fertility drugs ( clomid and pergeon ) to conceive Emily.. and that was 13 months after TR. The cost is alot different here than the U.S becuase some of the care ( U/S, blood tests ect. ) are covered by OHIP so I can only say it cost me about $1000 each session incl. drugs,

 

[ReadyWithLove]

Mamma - When you wrote about your feelings and mood after your TR you just about took the words right out of my mouth. I can not help kicking myself for doing the procedure instead of IVF. When all is said and done we will have spent almost the amount of the IVF cost. I'm just heartbroken over the whole thing. The IUI is keeping my hopes up though but the HSG has me nervous. As for the cost of IUI, with the HCG shot, is $600 each round. Then I have to get clomid which is $60 each round. If you want to do IUI just do it. Do you have an HMO, meaning you have to go through your primary care doctor to get to a specialist? If so just demand a referral don't take no for an answer and if they say oh well you need to wait a year, say no, I paid X amount of dollars for my tubal reversal and I want to try all options. Otherwise if you have a PPO type plan and you can go see whoever whenever you want then find a FS that does IUI and they will surly allow you to do it. For me I just couldn't help but feel something was wrong. I just know my body and so I went to the FS. I say go for it with the IUI and your insurance may even cover it. Mine however does not.

I AM THE SAME WAY!!! It becomes consuming! Life is flying by!!! my babies are all growing up and like you and Dash expressed...I too cry a WHOLE lot more at milestones in their lives. I'm feeling particularly emotional today as I think about my ds turning 13 tomorrow I will now have 2 teenagers and I'm SOOOOOOOO sad they have gown so fast I feel like I'm a monster somedays..consumed with "what symptom is this...is it a symptom...let's google, google, google and ignore my precious children around me?!?!"

I decided last cycle that I will OPK & temp for 6 cycles (3 after this one)...to ensure a consistent O date and make sure there's nothing crazy in my temps that should cause concern...and THEN, I will stop "trying" and let it happen if God intends it to be...and I have to say, I'm okay with that I will have given it my full attention (too much, really) and done the very best I could without additional medical intervention.

I think the temp charts and OPKs are important...when i look at the issues Ready was having hugs with so many + opks...she was able to get help! Had she not been doing those things...she may have just kept trying, trying with huge frustration each month sigh....I'm going to go hug my babies

 

[spuggle]

Ready and momma, i feel for you both, I hope you get your bfp's really soon, I know it's no consilation but people with normal working ovaries, tubes etc for some reason struggle to get pregnant it's one of those things that unfortunately we can't make happen, oh if we couold wouldn't it be great.

Try to look on the positive side that you have a chance now where as you didn't before the tr, I know this probably won't make you feel better but there is hope girls, you'll see.

Ready, don't be too hard on yourself...I think you made the right decision with the TR IVF statics are LOW! Have you researched them? You could do LOTs of IUI for the price of ONE IVF. That's just my very unprofessional opinion

 

[Dash]

We explored ivf before we decided on tr and specifically didn't do it because of the embryo freezing (the ethical issue) and because of the rediculous amount of time it takes going to all those appts and stuff. But, I'm not frusterated with ttc yet. I'm just getting started.

Ready- I had an inconnclusive test this am. Trying again tomorrow!

 

[ReadyWithLove]

Spuggle- that's a very good point that before the TR there wasn't any kind of chance for pregnancy and now we may have a chance. I'm really looking forward to IUI.

 

[sweetlissa]

I am so glad that everyone is talking about IUI's becuase I am sure that we will end up going that route. We called the insurance co. today. And they will only cover the office visit and u/s. They wont cover the procedure or the meds. So I will be forking out alot of money if we go that route. But I still wouldn't have dont IVF first. Unless I had insurance that would cover it.
AFM... I am taking it one day at a time right now. MY OPK's are still blank only the test line. Which is so odd for me. Usually by now I am starting to see a line. But I am hoping that I will wont O until this weekend if I do O..LOL... I have been told that there is a good chance I wont O this cycle. And I have never had temps like this before. So I am thinking this is going to be a crazy month. I just want AF (if she comes) to not come until after the 2nd of April...LOL...
