Tubal Reversal ladies, just moved from WTT!!!

[~Brandy~]

Cupcake- WOW 6lbs in 1 week or did I read that wrong? Either way congrats!

LL- Wouldnt that just chap your doctors ass if the nurse knocked you up? I dont like him from the sounds of him at all in any of the posts you have made. Having 0 bedside manner defeats the purpose of being a great doctor. FX for you that it works out and you get your bfp this cycle.


The babies are doing well 9 Days old today. Still trying to get adjusted to doing everything x2 it can be exhausting even with someone here to help you. I am breastfeeding so I have to be present for all feedings. I am producing just barely enough to support 2 babies which is a task all in itself right now. To keep my supply up I have to BF each of the babies and then I hand them off to my husband who does the burping, diaper changes, clothes changes etc. While he is doing that I then start pumping! I am trying to trick my body into making more milk so that I can pump and store as well as supply the babies. A feeding session with pumping and the whole bit takes about 1.5 hours and they eat every 3 hours LOL. So I spend atleast 12 hours a day doing something BF related hah.

Btandy-Sounds exhausting, but like pure heaven! Glad the little ladies are doing well! You read right! Lost 6 pounds in 7 days! Weight watchers & exercise works every time....at least as long as I stick with it LoL. So far, so good!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Wow Brandy! Sounds tiring, but you're doing an awesome job! Keep it up, Supermom! Also, if you want help in increasing the supply, try Fenugreek. AMAZING stuff.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Lawson, fx for a BFP from your IUI!

Cupcake, congrats on the weightloss! I am starting my diet again in 2 weeks.

CJ,

 

[GalvanBaby]

Brandy, wow!!! Sounds exhausting, but like heaven as Cupcake said. Get as much rest as possible.

 

[AngienDaniel]

I am gonna be the odd one out and say that it does not sound like heaven Brandy, but exhausting! I don't know how you do it. Makes me sure I don't want two babies; well, I do want two babies, but I don't want the work of two babies. I envy you the precious little ones, but not the work at all! It would be exhausting and takes a special woman to make it through. I am a lazy bag and pray so hard that I don't have to have IVF just so my chance of two is almost non-existent.

CJ, I hear ya with the cycle restart. My right side is hurting mostly this cycle as well, so I will probably be out again before I even get started.
LLawson, I hope your IUI is a Keeper! Your doctor sounds like the Army doctors here.
Galvan, good luck with your weight loss. You to, Cupcake! 6 lbs in a week sounds awesome!
I am almost on cd8. Gonna spend the weekend trying.
Good luck everyone and God bless!

 

[LLawson]

Thanks everyone! Cupcake, 6 pounds is awesome! I need to lose weight so badly. This weather is keeping me down! Spring cannot come soon enough!
Brandy all I could think when I read your post was that poor girls boobs! LOL, sorry! That does sound like alot of work. Sounds like you have your own assembly line going. Its great you have a hubby that will help you too! I would do it all with no hesitation though to get my baby! Your girls are just adorable!
I need more prayers! My step brother passed away last night. My neighbors are burying their son tomorrow and his visitation is tonight, I just dont know if I can go and get through it. Im not a strong person at all and a cry baby! It has been a very sad sad week!

 

[fluterby429]

LL congrats on the IUI!!! I had an RE that was so full if himself. I hated that man!

Cupcake great job on the weight loss.

Brandy sounds like things are going well

AFM nothing really. 10 more days of BCP

 

[FaithHopeLove]

Brandy, great job on the BF It's quite a sacrifice, but so worth it for your girls' health Can't wait to hear how the fenugreek works (if you try it)..my sis had a hard time producing enough milk for her little boy and weaned him early. She's due with another lo in August. I'll have to let her know about it.

Cupcake, yay for the weight loss That feels so good, doesn't it I can't wait to get back home where dh and I can do a weight loss together! I need that accountability. We both need to lose about 15lbs

LLawson, so sad about your news I will certainly be praying for you. I really hope this IUI works out for you

Cj, I'm sorry for BFN

Angie, hoping your ovaries are just playing games and you'll O from the good side

AFM, tonight will be 8 days of stim meds doing OK with it all...ovaries are being a bit sluggish so they may be bumping my dosage up. We'll see how the blood work comes back this afternoon. Plenty of eggs, just need them to plump up

 

[MUMOF5]

Hi ladies, I hope you dont mind me stalking your thread, I am awaiting my tubal reversal, which will hopefully be July/august this year, then planning on waiting until December before ttc. So positive to see some of your tickers with successful pregnancies after TR x

 

[FaithHopeLove]

Mumof5, WELCOME! How exciting to be trying for baby #7 Feel free to ask questions about the TR as they come up. We've got lots of seasoned gals around here

 

[GalvanBaby]

Welcome momof5!! I have a 10 yr old son and a 12 yr old daughter. I had my tubal reversal 2 years ago. I have had 2 CPs and 1 MC. We are now saving for IVF. Good luck with your journey. Fx you get a BFP really quick!!

 

[cupcakestoy]

Llawson~Prayers sent to you! It's ok to be a cry baby through all that sadness!
Faith~It does feel good to get a good start! Just 40 pounds or so left to go....:/
Mumof5~Welcome!

 

[~Brandy~]

My lactation specialist put me on fenugreek and milk thistle 3x per day. I started that a few days ago so we will see I hope it helps.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Fenugreek did wonders for me when I went back on placement and had to pump to keep Anberlin breastfed. Hope it works for you Brandy!

Welcome Mumof5! I had my TR in September 2013 and BFP in November 2013. Hope your TR baby comes quickly for you!

 

[cupcakestoy]

Well I didn't get to do the Saline flush today. Upon arriving I was informed that it would be $400! I was like um....that's more than an IUI! I asked if they would bill insurance & was told Insurance would not cover it, even after I reminded them that it covered my HSG & Brian's SA. Went ahead with my appt & explained all this to Dr. I asked if I HAD to do this test before we can do an IUI. He said no! He feels like this was 99.9% sure this was NOT ectopic. So the plan is TTC naturally this cycle(with his blessing lol) if no luck IUI in April with Femara. If still no luck then I will have a repeat HSG in May, since Ins. covers it. Ugh I don't like the office manager! If it wasn't for my Dr. & nurses being awesome I would not go back, but I am happy that we have a plan in place!

 

[AngienDaniel]

Cupcake, It's good that you do not have to do that before an IUI.. Hopefully you will conceive before the IUI.. 400 is a little bit. I could probably already be knocked up if I had money to spend.. To bad I don't. : )
One more day before my fertile period starts. I know most people say it's 5 days, but I don't usually do but 3... sometimes 4. I should o Monday or Tuesday. I was thinking today that I probably will ovulate from my working side, but that does not mean that I will conceive. I had almost convinced myself that was all I needed. I had to bring myself down to earth again and tell myself that it requires a lot more than just an open tube.
I will start bd'ing for conception come Saturday late. I try to give my hubby rest periods.
I have to work Monday so I am a little upset about that cause I would like to be able to dtd a few times that day cause my o is usually on cd13 (Tuesday)..I have to do what I have to do though and just pray that Saturday and Sunday and the couple of times on Monday will be enough to get me some double lines. I can only do so much and then the Master has to take care of the rest.
I am praying to be able to try the progesterone. I am praying it works.!!
I am going to start taking it this cycle on April 1st. That will put me at 7dpo.. (probably) I am excited about this cycle. I am ready to figure out if I will be able to do this on my own or if I will need IVF.

It sucks that so much waiting has to come about. I feel like I have been waiting so long. I pray my wait is almost over! I pray a lot of us that are waiting reach our goal soon.

Faith, I pray your eggs get nice and ready and you have so many that you don't know what to do with them. I also pray when it comes time you have some beautifully healthy ones fertilize and implant nice and cozy!!
LLawson. Tears are what washes away the dirt from this life and makes everything new again. There isn't a thing wrong with being a cry-baby. It helps us to appreciate the joy even more when there is sorrow. I am sorry your family has lost so much. I pray you find your joy again soon.


I am feeling good about this cycle. Even if not, I will try to feel good about next cycle...

Brandy, I hope your boobs dont fall off in the pump. JK.. I hope your girlies are eating like champs!!!

WELCOME Mumof5.. I hope times goes by quickly for you as you wait for your surgery!!

 

[fluterby429]

Welcome Mumof5!

Cupcake bummer on the dr appointment but at least a plan is in place and that's always positive!

Faith hope the plump those Eggs up!!!

 

[GalvanBaby]

Faith, plump those eggs up!! Are you doing IVF or IUI? I know I remember you talkng about IVF, but my brain is blank tonight. I am on a work, study, and teach binge so sleep is a luxury I can only afford in 2-3 hour shifts right now.

 

[cupcakestoy]

Thanks Angie & Flutter! Fx'd for us all!
Angie ~At my appt. Yesterday my Dr. Again instructed me to start progesterone 2 days after O. I wonder if by waiting until 7dpo to start it if it will have time yo be effective? I'm sure your levels increase gradually. May want to clarify with your Dr. On when to start it. Fx'd for you!
