Tubal Reversal ladies, just moved from WTT!!!

[Mommabrown]

Mrs Truth...go call your dr now. At 10dpo i had a very + pregnancy test and my betas were there. They can do something now if it is ectopic.

ST. MOM happy birthday to DD.

Dpitts hang in there. I know how much you ladies are looking forward to having that baby. It took me so long to get one to stick with me that i honestly can't explain to you how i actually finally got a bfp.

I am sooo ticked right now! I called the RE office and they told me to wait it out and I need a BFP for them to consider it etopic. WTH I read online that etopic can fall behind a bfn as well

I think it was rude and unconcerning and I dont appreciate it

When I had my miscarriage and went to the hospital, I was like I'm 12 weeks and bleeding and they told me "If you are having a miscarriage there's nothing we can do, so just sit and wait like everyone else" I said thats just RUDE....Sorry for that

 

[ArmySpouse]

I'm so excited to have come across this website, I feel it's a blessing. Here's some information about me since I feel I know so much about you ladies. I've been with my husband for eight years and married three, I know I waited a while before I said I do. I have two beautiful daughters 18 & 12. I had my tubal ligation done on the day my youngest was born at 24yrs. old. I will be having my tubal reversal done once my husband returns from Afghanistan sometime in the next couple of months (keeping my fingers crossed). I wish I could've had the surgery done while he is away and be ready for him but the doctor needs to test his little swimmers before he operates on me. I know my odds aren't super great since I only have one Fallopian tube, the other had to be removed after an ectopic pregnancy in '07, yup I had an ectopic pregnancy after my tubal ligation. I'm praying this works for me, I want to try a reversal before I try invitro. I'm I being silly? I've had my blood work done and a Sonohysterography and all are normal. He said did explain my risks like ectopic pregnancy but he feels confident. I can't help but be nervous. Do you ladies have any advice things I should be keeping track of or any pre op preparations any advice will be truly appreciated. I hope to become friends with everyone and be of support as we all go down this path.

Jena I said they can be rude as well! Another nurse called back and said give it to Monday then they will have me to come in

Welcome ArmySpouse I hope that Tr will be success for you as well for 2013.

[jasminep0489]

Hey ladies! Been awhile since I posted since I have been busy with my little guy. I just wanted to check in and see how my TR friends are. Seems like we have quite a few newbies. Welcome!!! Just wanted to share that i absolutely love doing this all over again. My Eli is perfect in every way. Such a good baby. we were truly blessed and it was an amazing experience that I am cherishing every minute of. I can't wait for everyone to join me and I just know God will provide for us all. We just have to have a little patience. Lord knows I had times where I had to remind myself of that. I pray for you all often. Lots of love and baby dust to you all!

I will try to post some pics but hopefully you can see him in my avatar. Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and happy new year! I will check in again soon. Can't wait to see all the new BFPs this new year will bring!!!!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Also waiting for a tubal reversal here. Struggling to pay off the $5800 surgery on my own...only about $3500 to go. I'm really excited. I'd love to give my son a little brother, but would welcome a third girl too.

 

[ArmySpouse]

Thank you ladies for welcoming me, I don't feel alone anymore. It's hard to relate to other women when they can conceive the natural way and they might not understand what I'm going through. I don't mention it to anyone besides family. I've gotten a lot of "your crazy your girls are big" or "you what to have a baby at 37". The waiting is killing me, can't wait for my husband to be home.

 

[jonnanne3]

Well today is our oldests 24th birthday! I can't believe that we have a 24 year old and a 1 year old too! We also found out that we are going to be grandparents again to our 5th grandbaby too by our 24 year old! She and her husband have our grandson who will be 3 in July! Our middle daughter is pregnant with her first (her husbands second) and she is due in July! Our son's little girl will be 2 in March! Gosh where has the time gone?

Ok, I am going to give my opinion on Army's question. Please ladies don't get upset with my advice. It's just my opinion from my personal experience only.
Some women do not have any issues at all, and get pregnant with no help or heartbreak at all. So please remember, this is SOLELY from MY EXPERIENCE ONLY!
Army, in my opinion, if you have already lost one tube due to an ectopic, I would advise to go IVF. My reasons are because you will have a better idea of what you are dealing with. When you get the reversal, you think you will have the time to get pregnant. I had my reversal in 2007 when I was 35, thinking I would get pregnant and everything would be perfect! Well, we put out a TON of money for the reversal, testing, medicines, and dnc's from the miscarriages. With the money we put out over the 4 years of trying, we could have easily done a couple of rounds of IVF. We did go on to have our precious little girl all natural. I did have both tubes intact and clear. They were short though. I had our daughter right before I turned 40.
Please understand that I am giving my opinion given your circumstances. One tube, your husband is active duty (I'm assuming) and you are of advanced maternal age (I hate that term!).
I hope you ladies don't get upset with what I said. I am not trying to upset or offend anyone. Just giving my opinion.
Good luck ladies and I hope and pray that we see a TON of this year!

ArmySpouse, I'm 40 now and having my 2nd TR baby, doctors have told me that I'm quite young still and that ladies at age 46 are having their first babies now. I think in this day and age that age doesn't matter at all. I have 2 older babies (was 3) age DS 20 and DD 17. I was 39 when I had Callum and 40 this time and couldn't be happier. Us ladies know what we have been through to get our little miracles and treasure them beyond belief xxx

 

[BrandiCanucks]

So what do you think my chances are, ladies, with being able to conceive naturally after the surgery? I'm 26 and had the clips when my now 20 month old daughter was 10 weeks olds, so they've been tied for about a year and a half. From my ticker, you can see that I'm approximately 9 months away from having it completely paid off.

Still good chances, or should I be investing more in IUI or IVF? I'm not really sure my doctor will help me with those either, considering it's my friend who will be donating.

 

[Mommabrown]

Brandi it all depends on how much tube is left. I am 28 and had the Pomeroy method (bands) after 5 years of being tied... and I only had 2 1/2 on left side and 7 on my right. It took me 16 months after the TR to get a baby to stick. I had a MC 5 months after TR and a CP exactly a year after TR. I had literally given up i was exhausted with it all and got pregnant with my 4th baby. Still chugging along at 27 weeks and she seems to be doing great and we have no intentions of stopping with her. Some people have no issue getting pregnant and others just take a bit longer.

I had clips as well for 14 years and my reversal worked just fine. There are others on here though that still have blocked tubes. Nothing is ever guaranteed with this surgery but I still think its more worth your money than IVF as with TR you get every month to try not just one go at a time. Good luck x
