TTC after a Tubal Reversal ~Come Join Me~

[jaimad]

Hello ladies! I thought we could start a thread for all of us who are TTC after having a Tubal Reversal! I would love it if you joined me in this journey!

AFM: I am 27 & have 3 amazing kiddos from a previous marriage. I had a tubal after my last child & regretted it ever since! I have remarried the mist amazing man who has no kids of his own. We had a tubal reversal at the end of October 09. Since then we have had one chemical and this month was rough as well. Had spotting 2 days before AF, got a bfp on the day after AF was due and then started bleeding again the next day. It's not a normal AF but I haven't taken another test yet. I feel as though I'm out again. Ugh.

I'm here!

Hi to all that join this thread!

For those who don't know me here's a brief history:

I'm 34 and have 3 children from a previous relationship. I was sterilized following my 3rd c section in 2000.

I'm now with my new partner and had a reversal in November 2009. Since then I've had a chemical and I'm currently on CD2 of our 4th cycle TTC.


I'm looking forward to seeing how this thread progresses and I really really hope to see lots of BFPs for all of us!

Hello ladies!! So gald this thread was started!! Thx Jaimad.

Brief history on me...I am 33 have 3 amazing kiddos from a previous marriage. Had my tubes tied in 03. I had my tubes reversed in April 09 and have been ttc since. I have been on 7 cycles of clomid with metformin. I also take a prenatal vitamin. I had a chemical in Oct/Nov of 09(found out was prego in Oct lost lo in Nov). This month had also been a crazy cycle for me and either waiting on a BFP or AF...just something to end the craziness for the month. Oh I also used softcups this month.

God bless and hoping for some BFP soon on this thread!!

 

[jaimad]

I know we can't be the only ones!

 

[cheekybint]

We're the only ones I know of so far but there's got to be more surely lol

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Well ladies maybe it i just us 3..LOL

I am back in the game with you. Just had another chemical. Trying to decide if I am going to take a break in march and go ahead with the HSG...had to reschedule it for next tuesday...so I still have time to decide. God bless

 

[jaimad]

Oh Reeds I am so sorry. I'm thinking I had another one as well. It really stinks. I say go ahead and get your HSG done! I will probably get one done in April. Also maybe just take it easy this month. I wanted to take a break as well but I know I won't be able to.

How are you cheeky? Hopefully we all have a wonderful March!

 

[cheekybint]

Hi to the both of you

Still can't believe it ReedsG I think you should go ahead with the HSG and not give up hope, it will happen

We're due to see our FS at the beginning of April, would be great if I'm pregnant by then, but if I'm not then hopefully he'll put me on some fertility drugs to speed things along.

Also it's OH's Birthday on April 10th and i really want to give him the best Birthday present ever!

Fingers crossed for us all this month.

Hi you three! I too had a tubal reversal. I have three boys: 6, 5 and 3. After our third, I had my ligation. In May of 09 I had my reversal.

I started my period the same day as surgery and got pregnant that cycle! Funny thing was the dr. told me after surgery that he was not sure I was ovulating from looking at my ovaries! Guess he was wrong!

In July we found out it was identical twins! Sadly however, we suffered complications and Grace passed away at 18 weeks, Rose hung on for another two, but we lost her at 20 weeks. They were born September 26th

I am not back on the TTC wagon. This is my first month back at temping. I did that to conceive all of my children. I am also using OPKs, but they are driving me nuts, so I don't think I will use them again.

Good luck to all of us! and lots of

oh- and where did everyone go for their surgery? I went to Chapel Hill, North Carolina

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Welcome MNMom3..welcome and so sorry for your loss. I also had my reversal at Chapel Hill by Dr. Berger. They were wonderful!! I believe Jaimad did as well.

I did call around and check some things on line about see a FS. I think I am also going to go off the metformin and just stick with the prenatal vitamins and get the HSG done and not worry about it for the rest of the month. Would really like to focus on some weight loss. God Bless Ladies

Hi MNMom3 nice to see a new face

So sorry to hear about your loss

I'm so far the only UK person in this thread and had my reversal done at a private hospital over here. My specialist who performed the operation is also an NHS doctor (our free national health service) so i'm lucky enough to get all my pre-op and post-op care for free, as well as all my follow up appointments. He said he's here to make sure we conceive so his job's not done till we've a baby in our arms Exceptionally nice doctor who we'll be seeing again soon

Hello MNmom...I too went to Chapel Hill! I am on that message board as well but under the name "newchptr". I remember seeing about your twins and I'm so sorry for your losses! I am glad to see you here!

Cheeky~that would be great to give your hubby that bfp for his bday!

Reeds~I think getting an HSG would atleast put your mind at ease!

AFM~I am cd6 & I absolutely feel like crap. I am so tired & haven't been feeling well. I promised myself that I am not buying any tests unless AF is late. I have none what so ever in the house. I should be o'ing next weekend which is mine & DH 1 year anniversary! We will have a good weekend. He says he has something planned but he isn't telling me. We won't have the kiddos that weekend either cause it's their dads weekend! I'm ready to get my bd on!

LOL!! LOve that.."ready to get my bd on"!! I hope that results in a BFP!!

I am going to get the test done. I also do not have a single pregnancy test in the house and will not buy one until I am over a week late. I know this will be hard but I would rather not know that have to deal with another loss. (like I wouldn't know) but then I wouldn't have that line to try to convince me that the little bean might stick. I also did some checking into IVF..thinking that will be my next step in April..I am thinking that I am just ready for some results...or answers.

 

[jaimad]

Reeds I too have considered looking onto IVF. I just want some results like right now!!

It's so wierd for me to have any symptoms of any kind before O but my bb's are sore!

 

[Kuntry_Gurl78]

Hello, ladies...I, too, have had a tubal reversal, and today is my 1-year Tubal Reversal Anniversary! I am sorry about all of the unfortunate losses but am hopeful that we all can get our well deserved bfp's, soon! I am anxious to get to know everyone better...I am still fairly a "newbie" but have been lurking, often! I took Clomid (50 mg) CD 5-9, for the first time this month and will go for my Day 21 (which will be Day 23 for me) progesterone/thyroid check on Monday, to make sure I ovulated...if not, they will double the dosage to 100 mg, next cycle. My RE performed the tubal reversal, and his office is an hour away from our hometown. I am praying hard for us all, ladies!

God bless!
TAMARA

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Welcome Kuntrygirl...Glad to have you join us hope your journey is soon to end with a BFP!!

As for me...I made a appt today for a consultation on April 20th for a IUI. I am not sure what to expect and would like some things answered and the first visit is free so I figured what the heck...I am going to not stress this month but keep a PMA and what will be will be. Its beautiful out today and I am tired of stressing all the time..life is way to short for me to be getting gray hairs over ttc already!! LOL

 

[cheekybint]

Hi KuntryGirl, nice to see a new member!

 

[jaimad]

Hello ladies!!! I have a cold...that's what is wrong with me. Well I am pulling out all the stops this month. Preseed, soft cups, robitussin, and dh is taking fertilaid. If no bfp this month I'm heading for an hsg & then discuss further options. Already started my fund for further fertility! This is just no fun anymore. How come those that want it so bad never get it & those that don't need it do get it. Ugh

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hey Jaimad hang in there girl. Looks like we are taking different approach this month..LOL and here is to hoping that they both in with BFP!!! I am only going to use the softcups and try real hard not to use opk either...just bd when I feel like it. To be honest that last chemical was really hard on me. I do think that my "fertility" issue is the fact my lining doesn't get thick enough...I only "bleed" for 2 days and spot the 3rd...I just don't really think that is long enough. But I guess we will see. I am not sure but I do believe when I was younger before the reversal my "bleed" was 5 days. So I hope that if this is not my month to get a BFP naturally I will be able to conceive with some help from the docs..God bless ladies
