I love love love your avatar Mommaspath!! T=I can't wait ot get pregnant so we can get a pic like that!!

6-7cm is supposed to be very good, but like mommaspath said, you can get pregnant with as little as 4cm. The main thing that matters is the they are open. Which, I will find out in a few weeks as soon as I am on CD9 again. I had my surgery on March 5 of last year. I thought I would get pregnant very quick since I never had a problem before all my ex had to do was look at me and bam! I was pregnant. LOL Not this time, though. We have tried Clomid 100mg and the trigger. I O and have had to CPs, but no sticky beans.

Alley your MIl sounds like my SIL my MIL died when DH was 22 right before his 23rd bd but my SIL is his older sister whom is Satan's lover

Good luck CJ I have my fingers crossed for you!

Afm my lengths are 6,5 with both tubes open. And I have seen women with 4 on my testimonies received their BFP so I am guessing its just not my time

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Well Mommaspath's story gives me hope. There was a link posted earlier about the success rates for certain ligations. I have the clips, which is apparently the most successfully reversed ligation, which also gives me hope. Hopefully I won't lose too much tube.

And dammit, I want the surgery now! I wish I could be having it today, or tomorrow, but good things come with time, right? So close, yet so far away.

 

[GalvanBaby]

We planned my TR for 3 years. Something just kept coming up and we had to spend the money on something else. Last year, we decided that damn it! nothing was coming between me and that surgery. Something did come up, but I refused to let go of the money for anything!!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

That's how I feel right now. I started planning my reversal almost immediately after I had it done. I wasn't able to pay the consultation fee until March 2012, but once I did, and I had the consult, I was so happy that I was finally getting somewhere. Then my ex and I split up and I became a single mom to three kids, and feeding them became most important, since I wasn't getting any financial assistance from my ex. Then I moved to a different shift at work which increased my income, but then I ended up in a shelter with my kids. It was in that shelter that I was finally able to start paying the surgery down some more. I had to miss my December payment in favour of a Christmas for my kids, but I'll be putting $400 down on Friday, another $500 down on the 18th, and another $100 on the 31st. After that, I'll be doing $250 with every paycheque until it's all paid off, so it should be completely paid by June!

I regretted mines right afterwards as well. Oh how I was mad at that decision. But once I gotten remarried, we did one IVF and after we lost that. In December I decided I want a Tubal reversal. The initial date was in May but Jan I called and said I want it immediately and two weeks later I had the surgery. But hey it will be a year next month and no sticky bean, one lost and four chemicals I hope this works for us

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm sorry it's taking so long for your sticky bean. I hope she or he comes along soon for you!

 

[GalvanBaby]

We are going to catch our sticky beans very soon Shay!!!

 

[Mrstruth]

I hope so Galvan because The Lord knows I pray every month and I wonder when is my time. I am listed ok, no issues etc no diseases I just don't get it. But maybe it's not meant for me to get

I had my first child at 16. I got married at 18 and had my next child at 19. My last child (my son) came at age 20. My husband got a vascetomy. My husband had a new found freedom and he decided to use it and we seperated 2 years after the vascetomy. I decided in 1999 that I would get my tubes tied because I thought I was done and BCP just didn't work for me. (I had 2 of my children on BCP) Then in Feb. 2000 I met the best man in the world and we married in April 2001. He is 5 years younger than me and he jumped in with my 3 children as if he was there from day one! He has been the BEST DAD in the world to them. We had discussed having a child but we kinda flip flopped with it for a few years and then we decided in 2005 we wanted to do it. So we started saving for it (as insurance doesn't pay for it and it was $5800) I had my TR on April 12, 2007.
We started TTC immediately. However my life was turned upside down faster than I could blink! In may od 2007, my son had a potentionally fatal accident on his ATV and was med flighted to a major hospital here. He was in ICU for 5 days. He has a ruptured spleen, lacerated liver, broken rib, and a broken leg. I was dealing with him and finally in July he was all better and back to normal! Thank GOD! So as soon as we get him well, in August my father had a massive heart attack and died at his home. It was completely unexpected. So I dealt with that for quite a while. Very depressed for a few months and still deal with it every day, but it has got better over time. We had 2 more deaths in my family within 90 days of my dad. So we had a LOT of stress in our family for 6 months!

This was posted in my LTTTC journal when I first started the journal. We went on to get pregnant 5 times and mc 5 times. We had so many tests done from HSG to hysteroscomy to countless blood tests, follicle monitoring and semen analysis. (SN: Why is the test men have to do, pleasure them and our tests are TORTURE???? LOL! Just a thought!)
We did tell all of our family and we had support from both sides. However, sometimes it's a blessing and sometimes it was a curse. People always asking, are you pregnant yet or are you still trying? It was enough to drive somemone batty!
My tube lengths are VERY SHORT! Mine are 2.5 on the right and 3.0 on the left. My dominant side was my left. I got pregnant on my left side most of the time and I got pregnant on my left side with Addisyn.
Sorry my post is so long, I just was giving a little background on me for the ones who don't know it already. We are not having anymore as we have decided that, for us, we are perfectly happy with our precious little girl! She is our miracle and all we could ask for! So my hubby had a vascetomy in March. We also have 3 grandbabies already and just recently found out we have 2 more coming this summer from our oldest daughters!
Good luck ladies! And please know that you can get pregnant with tubes shorter than 4! Mine are 2.5 and 3.0!

 

[Mrstruth]

Jo I asked y DH the Same exact thing! Why is it you guys are pleasured and we feel violated by all of our tests. He just laughed and said my sense of humor always flattered him. Your story was amazing and it brings hope to the women here in this thread. Especially one whom has reached the year and rolling into the long timer mark

 

[Jenafyr4]

Alleysm....you are hilarious!!! I am SO VERY BLESSED with the best MIL, she is so caring and loves me and my kids, (maybe more than her son..lol)

Mamma...thats a great story, I'm so Happy for you

I had my tubes tied (Falope Rings) in 2006 almost a year after my son was born. At the time it was the best decision for me. I have NOT regreted my decision. My H (at the time)...yes no D in front of that...lol wasabout to be deployed...#4 was an ooppsie as we were headed for divorce before his deployment (God had another plan) We stayed together for the 18month depolyment but things were worse when he returned, he became a drug addict and abusive. I LEFT!!!

I had just completed college and was focusing on my career and my kids. I was HAPPY. I met a man along the way who was a good guy, but not my forever. HE wanted me to be his Baby Momma. I was STILL very content with my life, as time goes on and my career is set I was ready to find MY Forever...I prayed on 11/11/11 (after my friends wedding) for a man that was good for me...a strong, handsome, hardworking man.....the next day I met him Our love affair grew fast...I was causious because he is 10yrs younger than me, but I knew I loved him within a week (alot was lust cuz he is a body builder and oh so sexy) We had a connection that couldnt be denied and on 2/14/12 he proposed... We discussed children (he has on DD) so we decided we would get my TR after we got married on 11/11/12

So here we are, about to embark on this TTC after TR journey....

 

[mnjhowell]

Armyspouse my husband and I spent over $45,000 and did 3 fresh IVF cycles with nothing but heart break and an empty bank account. Several years later we decided to do the TR and I was pregnant on my 4th cycle.
Personally IMO I'd not do IVF unless you have no other option.
Can your OB/Gyn do a lap to see what your only tube looks like?

Hi ladies,

I hope everyone is doing well. Welcome to all the new ladies who may not know me. I hope that your TTC journey is quick with a sweet ending.

Just a quick update my little guy will be 8 months in 2 days and is trying to walk. He loves the dog but I'm not sure the dog is in love with him. LOL

 

[jojo1972]

CJ and Faith how are y'all doing??

Jojo did you end up having a section with callum?

Hi Melissa, I've just been to the midwifes today and she checked and double, triple checked and she is sure Alissa has turned head down now at last. I'm for another growth scan in 2 weeks where it will be confirmed but I think she has which means I can try my VBAC I'm soooooooooooooo happy lol. Midwife also said that by feel that the last growth scan is way off and that Alyssa feels like she will be 8-8 1/2lbs at 38 weeks and NOT 10+lbs like the hospital thinks she will beLets hope she's right on everything FX

How is your little princess? and how is your son doing in his recovery? x

 

[jasminep0489]

Here is a little background on me since I know I always enjoyed reading the success stories while waiting for my TR.

I'm one of the few here that have been with my DH a long, long time. I know Faith is another with a longtime DH as well. Almost 17 years we have been together. We had a DD 15 and a DS 13 in early 20's and then I had my tubes tied at 26, thinking we were done. The kids were around 5 and 6 then. Well, at 33 I started getting the "baby bug". I started researching ways and decided after getting my op reports back and finding that I had the clips done during TL that we would do TR instead of IVF which I knew was impossible for us to pay for uless I wanted to wait 2 or 3 years. I was researching doctors and decided on Dr. Rogers in Jackson, TN. Mainly because of her stats and patents testimonies but the price of $4500 was wonderful also. So I used some of my financial aid from college since I had gone back to school 2 years prior and had my TR on Nov. 19th 2010. Had lengths of 5.5 left and 6 right so I was happy to get started. Well, we got PG first month but was a very strange miscarriage. Still to this day not too sure what happened but it took until April 2011 for me to finally get the HCG levels down and ovulate normally. We tried hardcore for 4 months doing all kinds of things to conceive. Well, everything but clomid. Anyways, it started taking a toll on our relationship so we stopped TTC until Dec. 2011 and decided to absolutely NTNP. That meant I was not even looking at what day I was at on my cycle. Well, Jan. 2012 I got PG with my beautiful baby boy Eli. He is almost 3 months old and I am so in love with him I don't know if I want another. I am 36 so I still have a few years to play with. I just hope that each of you WTT and those TTC remember not to lose sight of the blessings you have right now and not to make TTC your whole world. I lost sight of what was really important for a minute and when I discovered what I was doing was damaging the other aspects of my life, I was blessed with my wish and God gave me what I was praying for. Hope this helps you ladies and I'll continue to pray for each of you to have your prayers answered.
