TTC after a Tubal Reversal ~Come Join Me~

[Suedove]

Hi Ladies,
Have read through your forum and I would love to join you all!
I have a consultation with fs 2moro, hoping to schedule TR for August 2010 if possible!
I am 39, DH is 40, I have 3 grown children ds 22, dd 18, ds 16 and gs 7mo. he has dd 17, ds 14, his ex refuses to let him see them
I got TL 14 yrs ago, rings to tubes nervous about 2moro! pretty sure still ovulate, am regular etc. bought some opk's so will start this month
How long did you ladies take to recover from your TR? I am assuming mine will be open??? my job is fairly physical!! Not sure how long i need for recovery time, I have booked 3 weeks off work, thats why hoping for august! Plus not sure what tests if any, the fs will want doing, so i guess this gives us some time!
Hope to share with you ladies very soon.
All the best
Sue x

Hi Sue Welcome!

I'm Mel (34), I had my TR in November 09, 1 day before the 10 year anniversary of my TL. I've 3 children already; a son who's 16 and 2 daughters, 12 and 10.

My TR was open surgery, at a BMI Hospital and they were excellent. FS tested my LH/LSH and OH has a sperm analysis prior to the operation to ensure it was the best route to take. It was very similar to a caesarean section; with a smaller incision. The pain following was quite bad but bearable, rest and painkillers do the trick. I also took 3 weeks off work, but wasn't fully recovered for about a month and a half.

I had a HSG last week and discovered one tube is currently blocked. This is our 6th cycle and I'm hoping the HSG has cleared everything out and I'll get my BFP this month!

So far we've had 2 BFPs on this thread and we're all praying for lots more!

Good luck on your journey, and good luck with the TR - roll on August!

Hi Ladies!

Hope you all had a great weekend, sorry I've been MIA been busy doing the garden and SHOPPING! Do enjoy my OHs spur of the moment decisions to go shopping

No ovulation here yet, hopefully today or tomorrow, plenty of BDing in the meantime

Hope everyone has an excellent week

Hi Mel
Thanks for the reply, I'm going to the BMI too! Very lucky I suppose as I could of gone to Spires or BMI and a whole host in brum!
Its so difficult to choose as there is nothing that i can find about surgeons success rates!
Glad to see you are positive and all is well with an open tube following hsg! Fxd you get your BFP soon

I had the weirdest dream lastnite... It was about monsters and they were after my son i went to rescue him and we were hiding out then out of nowhere i opened my suitcase wich was full of hpt's so i decided to take one and it was a faint positive then i took another and it was a darker positive.... Talk about obsessing over getting pregnant , i took a hpt while hiding from monsters.... Lol

 

[Doingit4us]

lol...Anxious that's hilarious

Hi Sue! Welcome to the forum. I had my TR Oct 09. I only have one tube left and this is my 3rd month ttc. Everyone else put their ages...I'm 28 about to be 29 on the 22. Dh is 31. We will be married 11 yrs in Jul and have a 7yr old daughter. Good luck to u!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

anxious that is too funny!!! but so hope tha is a good sign for you!!

sue welcome and good luck at the fs tomorrow!! I am Sandi(30) dh is 29..I had my tr april of 09. I have 2 dd (14 & 13) ds is 7. dh doesnt have any..

asfm I losing control and starting to read symptoms...but keep trying to tell myself any little pull or tug in my uterous is a bean implanting!! lol. ugh but really for the most part I am in control...just dying to poas!!!! hahahaha

 

[hopmpraymwish]

well dam it, I gave in and poas 10dpo and bfn..... I hate his... Really besides cramping no symptoms though so ooohwell....

 

[fluterby429]

Sandi I'm with you. I've tried to stay pretty in control of the SS. I was crampy from O until yesterday. Then I had a few pains/twinges on the left that I got again this morning. CP is really high and soft and CM changed from alot of creamy to a lot of watery. My back has been bothering me the past 2 days and my nose has been runny/stuffy (those last two things I feel like it is my mattress and the weather). Last night Waylon (dh) was all trying to make out with me and for some reason his breath made me wanna hurl lol but it didn't really smell bed he had just brushed his teeth. IDK what that was all about. Sigh...I hate waiting

Hi Ladies
Well the consultation didnt go to well, my fs seems to think that tr will not be possible because i got rings on my tubes, he says where rings are put on and the method that is used to put them on takes a lot of tube and the remainding diameters wont match. He said our best option was for IVF but only a 20% success rate with that! and a lot more cost! He said TR is not possible laparoscopically! Its a big transverse incision and i would need 4-6 weeks recovery time!
He said i could have a hsg to see how far the dye will go in an attempt to determine tubal length, but he was not really sold on this option, he conveniently had a brochure on ivf for me... mmm!
He was also suggesting a detailed sa not just the normal nhs one???, even though i told him any tests he needs doing my GP is happy to organise on the nhs!
So i have left his office armed with a brochure on IVF and a sinking feeling its all over before its begun!
Nice dream anxious, lol hope you ladies are good xx Sue xx

 

[Anxious5]

Sorry the appt didnt go as planned but i would do the hsg and see what the results aré before i started to think negative, goodluck sue

 

[fluterby429]

OMG Sue...OK first off let me tell you that the clamps/rings usally are the very best for tubal reversal becaues they leave the most tube lenght. Now I know for a fact that is true for the regular TR like most of us had where we were cut similar to a c-section. Is there a reason why you would not choose this option? What doctor were you going to for your tubal reversal?

 

[Suedove]

Thanks Tally and Anxious
Im in the UK, saw a consultant Obs & Gyn, he does specialise in IVF, he is the lead for my county and works in the private and NHS sector. I have rung another hospital and enquired about TR with Rings!! they are going to get back to me!!! Yes Tally I had read so much stuff on the net about rings being a good option for reversal, so was gobsmacked when he told me this!! I had read clips were number one followed by rings!!!
Well still got PMA!!! fxd for the phone call 2moro!
I will have to travel if its a yes, but its worth it, to try to conceive naturally!! Feel sure I couldnt face IVF
Thanks again ladies
Sue xx

Just stumbled accross this thread because I was reasearching the links (if any) of chemical pregnancy and tubal reversals. Had my reversal done March 24th 2010 by Dr Kaufman in FTW. Got three BFP this week and then AF came. Told that is was a chemical pregnancy. Kind of a sad day. Has anyone else experienced this after a TR?
