Hey chicks!
I wanted to hop on and check on everyone.
I want to say that I am very sorry Galvan that you are having to make such a difficult choice. If I had known all the stuff I know now about tubal reversals, I never would have had mine undone. Such a small percent actually conceive a baby that survives. I think if more women were to come forward the statistics for miscarriage after tubal reversal would be staggering. I want to tel you of this trial they are having in Texas. I only know that you cannot have 3 or more documented miscarriages. I am not sure if you have had three or even if they are taking anymore patients, but it would not hurt to try and ask her. Her email address is
[email protected]. I found out about the trial by searching online so I know it hasn't happened yet since she just got back to me and told me about the 3 miscarriage exclusion. Any one of you ladies should apply if you want. I am excluded.
Anyway, I know for my repeated ectopics (which I am POSITIVE they all were) the best thing for me when going on to IVF was to remove anything that might prevent me from carrying a healthy baby, or that would hurt a future pregnancy. I pray you feel content with whatever decision you make and that God blesses your family.
Fluter... I have prayed for you all month. I sure hope at least one of your little monkeys stick, but if they don't, just remember that you have 2 little monkeys waiting for their chance too! Don't quit and be positive despite your fear. I know all I want is one baby. I did possibly want two, but now I am just praying for one. If I get to have one I don't think I will try for any more unless my husband makes me.
I will be checking back in the next few days and you are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
CJ. . I hope you are feeling better. I think I recall you saying you and your husband were Linemen? Not sure if you said phone or power? I would think with a neck muscle healing it might be pretty hard to do that job.. I might be mistaken about that being your job but I seem to remember that since my husband used to be a lineman for Verizon and he misses it so.. He just got a job with them again starting in Sept, but he is cable technician since Lineman now have to have a class A license and he only has a class B. Anyhow.... I hope you heal quickly and get back in the game.
I pray for all you ladies on this forum. I don't visit it often since I sometimes long so deeply for a baby that I struggle with seeing or thinking about anything baby-related. The hubby and I will have the money for IVF before the end of the year. I really want to try, but I am scared to fail. That won't keep me from trying though. I will be doing mini IVF though. I chose it because I have had no problem with getting pregnant and because I won't have to wait as long also because I don't want to take the chance of having too many eggs. I would rather my IVF fail than to have to decide what to do with eggs since I could not afford to store them indefinitely and I only wanted two children. I might try once a year until my fertile years are over. I figure that financially anyone could do that with putting a few dollars back during the year since mini IVF is around 5500. I don't think Verizon has any coverage for infertility so I will be paying for everything. The best thing is that there is a clinic in Pennsylvania where we are moving so I won't have to pay for motels or anything like that. My husband still hasn't gotten his paperwork finished and I still have not had an af since my surgery. I am gonna write a book and call it 'Waiting is my life story.'
I will be checking in on you ladies and looking for all your stories of triumph and if God is willing, I will share my story of triumph if I ever get to that day.
Best wishes for everyone's dreams. May God be merciful.
prayers for some answers.
