Tubal Reversal ladies, just moved from WTT!!!

[GalvanBaby]

Momsbaby, I don't have a O dip. My temp just jumps around .3-.4 degrees. I use Fertility Friend and it usually tells me.when I O. Good luck!

 

[Lolli2012]

Hi ladies, I wonder if you could help me.. I was sterilised 4 years ago and now want it reversed. Got in touch with the hospital (NHS) to find out how much of my tubes were cut away and how much was left etc. and after a very long wait have got a letter saying they removed 15mm from tubes.. Is that good or bad? Does anybody think I have a chance to have a reversal?... Thanks everyone

 

[cj72]

Lolli, I know I have 5 on one side and 6.5 on the other. I think 15mm may be too much.

 

[Lolli2012]

I haven't had the reversal yet.. But my notes from the hospital say that they cut away 15mm which is 1.5cm...does that leave me much tube left to have the reversal?

 

[GalvanBaby]

1.5cm should not be too much. Normal tubes are about 10cm. A lot of women have 5-7cm left after the TR. I have been trying to find out my lengths for 4 months, my old FS (who did the surgery) will not tell me for some reason.

Rant begin: My new RE needs my medical records from my old FS. I have been trying to get them for 2 months now. She refuses to take my phone calls, doesn't respond to my emails, and I keep getting excuses from her secretary. I am really getting very angry. I guess my next resort is to go to Monterrey and sit at her office until she gives me the records??!! GRRRRRR!!! Rant end. Sorry ladies, but I am about to go off on someone about this.

Cd1 for me...... Ugh. Cramps suck!

 

[Mommabrown]

Lolli i have only 2 1/2 cm on my left side after reversal and i am almost 6 months pregnant with a baby girl. I promise You that it doesn't matter how much is cut out it is how much you have left after reversal. Have you choose a doctor yet to get your reversal done with yet?

 

[cj72]

Sorry Dpitts .

Lolli- check out chapel hill tubal reversal center's website. It shows chances per kind of tubl reversal/ age / tubal length.

Galvan, I totally missed mm vs cm! You're right- I checked chtrc on april showers and it seems 5-7 are the norm. I'd either ake the trip or offer to have a lawyer see er in court if she doesn't and them over. I'm worried about why she won't give them.

 

[GalvanBaby]

I know, I am starting to worry about everything. I think back and there are a few things that should have brought up a red flag. It was difficult to get her to return phone calls. Then, I put that off as typical Drs. Now, I am not so sure. When I would ask about an HSG, she would say that I don't need it because she did one during surgery. I told her then that everything I read about TRs said that an HSG should be done so she said that if after 7 months no BFP she would send me for one. I thought maybe this was just the way they did things here in Mexico. I had heard that you have to insist to get certain tests. Now, I am really starting to stress. I know something had to be done right or else I wouldn't have had a CP, but I am still worried. She did tell me that the left side was not in great shape that all she could say was that it was open. The TL was done so close to the ovaries that the left had damage to the tubes fingers.

i had the same thing happen to my right side.......the doctor had to fold back the tube like a pantleg because there was alot of damage..... he told me i would probably not concieve from this side because there was little fimbria or fingers to bring an egg down but the first time i got preggo was from that side so dont get down about that

 

[dpitts1341]

This is my seventh cycle and I know it s early but I am getting discouraged for sure.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Dpitts don't get discouraged. It usually takes TR women 612 months to get pregnant. Shay had said that a Dr sadi that it can take a year for some women to heal enough to get pregnant!!

 

[mnjhowell]

Hello ladies!! I am patiently waiting all of your bfps!! I cannot wait to rejoice at the news!!

 

[stmom26]

I know how you feel Dpits.... if I don't get a BFP this cycle I will be on my 7th too.....I sure thought that I would be as fertile as I was be for the TL....
I'm Really Nervous about going to the Dr's Tuesday... I would love them to say "Yes you are PG" , but Im so afraid that they will say that I'm not and that they made some kind of mistake and I can't have any more babies....
Can you tell that I'm a worrier..

 

[cj72]

Thx mnj

Don't worry stmom. Fx'd crossed.

Afm, temp drop and bfn this am. Af should be here today or tomorrow to ring in cycle 24.

 

[BaByWiLLoW]

Dont give up hope ladies!!! I guess I will be making appt too because I am having severe pains like in my back/kidneys(only one side)!! Maybe I will get them to do a blood test. Still have 3 more days til AF and no AF symptoms yet so FX'D still.

Galvans...I would sure throw a fit and threaten to get a lawyer too!!

 

[BaByWiLLoW]

I haven't had the reversal yet.. But my notes from the hospital say that they cut away 15mm which is 1.5cm...does that leave me much tube left to have the reversal?

A normal tube is 10cm from what I have read so if they have only damaged or removed 1.5 cm you should still have plenty for the Doctors to fix them!! Good Luck to you and let us know how it goes!!!

 

[fluterby429]

Lolli the length left will depend on the amount of scar tissue that will need to be removed to attach healthy tubes. Your report could say one thing but when they get in there it could be a different story. I've see it dozens of times. Even mine! I had the palmory method and had less than a cm removed. No where in my report did it say they were burned. When I had tR he said they actually had been burned. It wasn't a big deal because I was left with 5cm on each side. I was expecting more, but it is what it is and it's enough. You didn't have much removed so I'm sure you'll be fine as well. Most woman don't have serious complications with getting the TR. good luck to you

 

[BaByWiLLoW]

Ok I need HELP!!! I had a very faint line but definitely a second line with test this morning, so does just a faint line mean positive?? Maybe I am still in shock???

 

[GalvanBaby]

That sounds like BFP! Post a pic. A line is a line!!
