Anyone TTC after vasectomy reversal op?

Hi! Newbie to the forums :) we have 2 children, 7 and 5 and hubby had a vasectomy almost 5 years ago.... Almost as soon as our youngest was born. He realised quickly after that it was a big mistake. We're speaking with our chosen surgeon in a week and booking the reversal, then it's all aboard the TTC train as soon as he's all healed up :) would love to have some buddies along the way :) it's going to be a fairly long journey I feel, our eldest took a year to conceive our youngest took 9 months with a early mc in between.

Hello ladies :) hope you're all well. Just wanted to pop in and give an update :) had my scan yesterday and was brought forward 2 days making me 13 weeks today. Shockingly that means I fell 15 days after the surgery!
Good luck everyone, hope TTC-img is going well and there are lots of bfps soon!

I think it's because I was ill at the beginning of my cycle so it threw everything off. Do you have a scan soon? Xx

Soz to hear that your afs arrived. And Fineeds crossed it happens soon for you both. :)

MrsWatts we used Mr Swinn also on the 19 Jan. :)

My OH is finally healed. Well he has a nasty scar which I'm hoping will continue to heal and look better and better. But his stitches have all dissolved. We have emails Mr Swinn on various occasions to keep him informed and seek advice. Which mostly he has told us not to worry unless we feat there is an infection.

Right soz for tmi....but has anyone notice there OH ejaculate smells stronger? My man's smells awfully erm....spunky. as I have said already it is thicker also. So hoping the changes are positive.
His boys are still sitting oddly....One very high and one lower. And his tummy is still a little tender. But all good now. :) :)

I'm guessing my af will be due within the next week. My cycles vary a bit in length....but I think could be as early as the weekend....or into mid week. Trying not to obsess or worry whilst I don't even know if it's possible... :)

Good luck ladies x

mrsstickll · 10/02/2015 08:22

Sorry Af arrived pitterpatter. Roll on ov

Pitterpatter5 · 10/02/2015 07:09

No luck this time mrsstickll AF showed up overnight! :-( back to the making game... I'm so impatient tho!

mrsstickll · 09/02/2015 20:29

Cd3 how boring. Have you managed to test yet pitterpatter

mrsstickll · 07/02/2015 17:36

pitterpatter aw that's a nice thought I'd like a valentines baby. Feel impatient for you now hehe. I know

Pitterpatter5 · 07/02/2015 17:03

mrsstickll how rubbish.... Could be a Valentine's baby?! Hehe here's to next month!

MrsWatts welcome to the mad house! Looking forward to the updates and hope your hubby's recovery is speedy!

mrsstickll · 07/02/2015 15:50

Welcome Mrswatts glad your hubby is recovering nicely, my oh is taking the wellman supplements but I'm just taking folic acid because I didn't want anything to mess with my cycles.

mrsstickll · 07/02/2015 15:21

pitterpatter I was feeling queasy too but that stopped about 2 days ago and now Af is making her appearance got cramps etc. Gutted. 13th is ages!!! Fingers crossed Af keeps away for you x

MrsWatts · 07/02/2015 14:54

Hello ladies,
This is my first post on Mumsnet. Eek!
My husband had a vasectomy reversal with Mr Swinn at Gatwick on Monday so we will soon be entering the Trying To Conceive world. I'm very nervous. Neither of us already have children and I'm 37 so positively ancient in the baby-making world. My periods are pretty regular so I'm hoping that's a good sign. We're going to start the WellMan and WellWoman conception vitamins and I also read somewhere that kiwi fruits are great for fertility...
I'm not expecting to fall pregnant immediately and anticipating a tough journey ahead but utterly determined that we will become parents, somehow, eventually.
Hubby is recovering well from the op and has two weeks off work due to having a fairly physical job. The hardest thing is that I'm having to do all the cooking at the moment... He loves cooking and normally prepares the most delicious meals. I specialise in cheesy beans on toast...!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to being able to turn to Mumsnet for online support during our journey!

Pitterpatter5 · 07/02/2015 12:59

mrsstickll

How's the ttw? IVe been feeling so sick in the afternoon/ Eve's... Af due in 3 days, had some what I would call pre af twinges but no sign of af yet! Trying to persuade oh to get me a test but he thinks I should wait till 13th when we are back in the UK... aaarrrggghhh

Pitterpatter5 · 06/02/2015 05:19

TMI moment ladies....

My husband informed me last night while dtd that my cervix is extremely low, squiggy and almost bulging! He says he's never felt anything like it since we have been together (8yrs). Now I have had a feel and it certainly feels bery obvious and 'ripe'! what does it mean?
AF due on 10/11th... We roughly dtd around O but have not properly charted yet, I'm just using a generic calender based on cycle length ect...

wanting1more · 05/02/2015 21:38

spam he isn't infected just has a slow healing wound....and Unfortunately he isn't all the capable of abstaining as he is like a duracell bunny since his op :) :) :) :)......well he wants to be. ;) but im not letting him generally. :/ :(

We managed to dtd around when I thought I was ov. And also around time my rough guide told me I'm due to ov...but who knows what will happen . X

Let us know when ur 12 week scan Is.

And good luck girls on the poas in the near future x

Hi girls!
wanting my DHs stitches split open, thankfully this happened after my fertile time! Has he tried salt baths to keep it nice and clean? If he gets sore at all, make sure he sees a Dr to get antibiotics.
Good luck testing this weekend pitter and mrs! I KNEW from about 4dpo I was pregnant and symptoms started at 6dpo, but it took until 10dpo to get an undeniable line :) had my booking in appointment on Monday, this is where all the talk of breastfeeding comes in :/ joy! I'm now 8+3 and waiting for my 12 week scan appointment to come through! Can't wait! Just hoping its around 12 weeks and not later as my eldest has an op in March, I want that stress out of the way before I have a poorly child at home :/

Hey mrsstickll

It doesn't mean anything till af arrives! I thought I was going to come on yesterday, got all the pulling and aches but nothing... Poas = N :-( no suprise tho... I know it's too early really! At least now I can't test as I don't have any!!!

Anyway fell asleep yesterday at 8pm and slept through till 6am, nipples feel a little funny and feeling car sick but feeling very 'normal' now compared to before... if that's such a thing?!

Keep me posted and good luck!

mrsstickll · 04/02/2015 15:35

I think I've got pmt, does that mean I'm not pregnant?

Pitterpatter5 · 04/02/2015 10:20

I am trying to resist... I have one in the house and I keep looking at it! Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!
I'm due on 10/11... So fighting with myself to hold on a little longer!

Bring on the poas party.... Or the looney bin party! Grin
