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.

Thank You for your encouraging words...Its almost a sign for me..... IF me and DH have a boy his name will also be Eli...you see we met at Eli's Western Wear on a whim.... His car had broke down and he called his co-worker for help....who happened to be my best friends BF....strangely enough we were all together at the time so we scooped him up...lol so we decided if we have a boy we would name him after the place we met

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?

Thank you for your encouraging words. The doctor will perform a lap first the same day of the surgery to determine the condition the tube is in and if everything looks good he will proceed with the surgery which will be on my bikini line about two inches long.

Ladies thank you for sharing your success stories they are very encouraging, nothing is impossible. For those that are TTC 2013 will be our year

 

[mnjhowell]

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

That's great news!!! Izzy is doing great! She took her first plane ride last week and entertained everyone with her charm lol
Joseph is doing great. He is actually back to swimming on the team and just seems to have aches and pains more than he ever did before.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I love all these success stories. It really gives me hope of this being successful!

Awww, sounds like the perfect name for a boy then. Hope you get your lil miracle soon after your TR so you can skip the heartbreak some of these women have shared.

Hey lovely Ladies! I hope you're all doing well

Jo, I'm so glad she's turned! Vbac, woohoo!!

13 dpo and spotting. Af is near

 

[dpitts1341]

Well ladies, today is 15 dpo for me, I have NEVER had this long. I tested this evening and got BFN. What is going on? I just want to throw in the towel!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Did anyone start taking prenatals before the surgery, or shortly after? It's something I've been considering.

 

[cj72]

I take folic acid, but not prenatals. Can't hurt!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

How long after payment were your reversals booked for? I'm also trying to get a general idea of when I should be booking time off work.

How long did it take to heal from the surgery?

 

[stickybean4]

I started taking prenatals right after the surgery. It took me about 6 weeks to heal. I think every place might work there payments differently. My appointment was booked 2 monthes after my final payment.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Were you off work for the whole six weeks, or did you return soon after and just go on restrictions until you were completely healed?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just excited that it's getting so close and I want to be prepared for anything, before, during, and after the surgery.

 

[GalvanBaby]

I had the Csection cut so it took me 3 weeks to heal enough to work, but I have a desk job. It just depends on your job. I paid for my surgery the mornig of the surgery, but I had it done here in Mexico by a FS.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I work at a coffee shop where I have to help my coworkers process 200 cars per hour in 25 seconds or less per car. Guess I'll be taking a few weeks off. I took only a week off when I had the ligation, and went back to work, but maybe I'll go with a few weeks if this is much more invasive.

 

[Mrstruth]

I also had the C-section cut and it took three weeks for me to heal it extended my time off of work so I resigned and Dh decided he just wanted me to remain fulltime in school for right now. Which was good because my job only gave me a week. during my surgery.


Dpitts I am sorry that you are feeling down hun! Maybe you are experiencing late implantation, I was thinking maybe the clomids finally went out my system last cycle. I read it takes three months and for three months I have had a 26 day cd which my cycle is normally 28 days and this last cycle it was 31 with a 17dpo. Don't give up, we never fail until we quit. and I know this may be hard because monthly it's hard for me, but try to have fun making the baby and not work to.

 

[ArmySpouse]

GalvanBaby and Mrstruth how long is your incision? My doctor informed me that he will be doing a bikini line cut about two inches. Is that accurate? Besides taking any vitamins is there anything I should do before the surgery? Also how soon after the surgery did you try to conceive?

 

[jonnanne3]

I had the bikini cut too and it is about 3 inches wide. It took me about 2 weeks to heal, but everyone is different. I started prenatals shortly after the surgery. But I am still taking them. I would encourage you to start them now. It isn't going to hurt anything, it will only help your body. I am not ttc anymore, but I continue to take them because they are good to take.
Also everyone is different on how long it will or can take to get pregnant after a tr. Some are right away and some are years and there are some that never do.
I met a wonderful lady on here when I first joined and she had a tr. Her and her husband had 5 children between them and they were ttc one of their own. They had 2 mc's and never went to have one of their own. I still talk to her on fb. They got into fostering children. They are now in the final stages of adopting a little girl who just turned 2. They have had her since birth. She is absolutley beautiful and so loved! They don't regret the tr, because it brought them to the place in their life to open their hearts and minds to other options and brought them their little girl!
I just wanted to share their story to show that it's not always negative. There is a silver lining in every situation!

Yes my incision is 2 inches they confirmed this three times
