Does anyone have experience of this? Hubby has just had it done and we are nervously awaiting the outcome!

Although I wouldn't do it some could be tempted not to update their details - I presume they cant force you to do this?

sorrento · 23/01/2009 15:43

Well by law you have to register your details when you donate eggs and up date them with every move, so basically your children don't marry in years to come.
The downside is that the person resulting from donated eggs can request your address and be given it (but not the other way around), whilst you wouldn't just get a knock at the door you could get a letter saying Miss/Mr x has requested your address and maybe in touch and there's nothing you can do about it.
No wonder donations have plummeted.
I would not like it if somebody had been abused or had an awful life and then arrived on my doorstep expecting me to put it right or help in someway, but i'd feel I had to so I'm not going there.

pinkmook · 23/01/2009 15:35

why can that happen!? I didnt realise that was the case - I had planned on egg sharing! Oh bolleaux

sorrento · 23/01/2009 14:40

So it's not all bad then Pinkmook ;-)
Have told DH he'd better get the bloody job, no pressure then !
I'm not going to do the egg sharing unless it's somebody I know I can't bear the thought of a knock at the door in 18 years with an unhappy person wanting me to be mum to them so I'd rather know where all my eggs (babies) are and looked after. But of course that now adds £2k to the bill

pinkmook · 23/01/2009 14:37

Cn I just say I have MASSIVE clomid boobs just been round at my friends and she screeched "oh my god look at your beebs!" when I took off the scarf I was wearing LOL! I'm not pg as temps have been dropping but its fun having big knockers lol!

WelshChristmas · 23/01/2009 13:36

Oh no sorrento, how frustrating !!! Yes, I have been feeling movement ( bubbling )since around 14 weeks but getting stronger now and starting to feel little kicks during the day occasionally.

Pink, don't say that. I've got ages left yet and I'm sure you're going to get a BFP soon ! But I agree, the time does seem to be flying which has suprised me loads.

pinkmook · 23/01/2009 12:38

Sorrento - oh no! One step forward and all that how frustrating.

Linz - God you'll have had another before I even get pregnant! LOL! Its going so fast !

Terrier - are you there? we miss you xxxxx

sorrento · 23/01/2009 11:33

Oh wow, Linzi I am so excited for you, can you feel any movement yet ?
DH has been offered a job interview for 2 days after his surgery and now wants to put surgery back to MArch, where's the sobbing smiling

WelshChristmas · 23/01/2009 11:09

hi all, hope everything goes well for you at the consultatns pink. Congrats Sorrento, seems like your well on your way, will keep everything crossed for you.

Pink, things are fine thanks. Have a scan in 3 weeks to find out the sex of the baby can't believe how fast it's going. I'm 18 weeks already !!

I noticed Terrier hasn;t been on lately..Hope things are ok x

pinkmook · 19/01/2009 20:24

Yeah that would be fine with me !! I know what you mean about the assised conception threads...I try not to look at them at this stage as they get me really depressed. Maybe when I'm further into all this they will be a source of help and comfort but right now they just too depressing for words. Whoever would have believed this could all be happening eh! I certainly never imagined it would be this hard to get pregnant again.

sorrento · 19/01/2009 20:11

I know how you feel hun, I cannot imagine it being real either in all honesty, I keep reading the assisted threads with all the self injecting and hopes being built up and cannot believe it'll ever amount to an actual baby.
as you know my fortune teller said it wouldn't happen so if theyare both wrong and we get a single baby each that would be ok wouldn't it ?

pinkmook · 19/01/2009 19:55

Twins! I am finding it hard to believe I will ever get pregnant ever again to be honest although DH's dad is a twin and my grandmother is a twin, and a fortune teller told me I'd have twins when I tried to concieve agian after my first child!

But I just cant beleive I'll ever get Pg. Ive not even had so much as as chemical pregnancy since the vasectomy was reversed in july 07!!!

Please keep me informed and what its all like as it'll be me soon!

xx

sorrento · 19/01/2009 18:58

Still a long way off the two bluesline
They need to get his sperm out next week, take further blood tests from me on 30th and then start me on the drugs to stimulate my ovaries. Once they've collected the eggs, it's still another 6-8 weeks before they go back in to cook.
Am hoping it/they can be in for June, I have decide how many to implant too which is a nightmare.
you might have twins with clomid, I've known that happen to two people, imagine

pinkmook · 19/01/2009 18:51

Hey sorrento (aka katie )

Wow things have moved on for you! I have an app for 27th Jan but am currently on clomid as a kind of oh well it might work give it a go thing!

How exciting for you!!! When do you go in then?

xxxx

sorrento · 19/01/2009 18:30

Sneaks in, it's me Katiedd [waves]
Dh has just had his pre op consultation ie paid for the sperm aspiration and he's all set for next Monday.
I had such cold feet today, nearly backed out of the whole thing, I know I sound like a brat but I do not want to have to go through this I really don't.
I am so disorganised i'm terrifed i'll forget to do something vital and we'll end up with no baby because i couldn't get my arse into gear.

pinkmook · 16/01/2009 15:57

Hi Welsh, goin OK. Got an appointment for private fertility consultant on 27th January so thats something I spose. How are you going on? xx

WelshChristmas · 16/01/2009 14:30

p.s apologises for the xmas name still

will get round to changing it but for now, I am far too lazy !!

WelshChristmas · 16/01/2009 14:29

hi all, hope everyone is keeping ok xx Thread has been a bit quiet these last few weeks so thought I'd drop a line.

Hows everyone getting on ?

scotslass82 · 12/01/2009 17:04

Hi Terrier, That's exactly how I feel..totally irrational! Isn't is crap how one quick operation can cause so much worry and upset when peoples life's change. I guess we're all just keeping our fingers crossed for little miracles. Since I first met my husband I've gone from not being sure I wanted a family to not being able to think about anything else...I even have the nursery planned (talk about obsession)! A woman I work with is pregnant at the moment and is less than chuffed at what she calls 'her little accident' I have to bite my tongue to stop myself shouting at her and telling her how lucky she is! I now just avoid her like the plague

terrier141 · 12/01/2009 10:26

Hi scotslass - just wanted to say I know how you feel too - so frustrated! I get really upset and irrational and just feel like it will take a miracle!

scotslass82 · 10/01/2009 14:56

He had a test 3 months after the reversal which showed that it had worked and he had a high sperm count, but they were a bit lazy and swimming in circles...like typical men! We haven't had one since then but if they're free from the gp then I might suggest he goes and has another one done if we've still not made any progress in the next couple of months. It's just so frustrating!

I wouldn't worry too much about your boyfriends results as our surgeon said the same as yours that it could take up to 12 months for things to start working as before. Our surgeon also recommended not to have the first test done before 3 months as it takes around 3 months for everything to have settled down so maybe have another test done in a couple of months time. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you both.

purpledazzle · 10/01/2009 11:16

hi scotslass

I know how you feel, every time i see a pregnant woman i feel gutted its not me. You say you have been trying for 6 months but it doesnt sound as though your hubby has had a sperm test. they are frre if you go to your local doctors and ask for one. my boyfriend had his reversal 2 months ago and his first semen test came back negative but he is still healing so am not giving up on it just yet. Hope this helps.

scotslass82 · 09/01/2009 20:59

Hi all, I've just come across this forum while trawling the net looking for some help and advice on trying to conceive after my hubby's reversal. He's been married before and had a vasectomy when he was 29 and his youngest was under 12 months old. He had his reversal a year and a half ago and we've been trying for around 6 months as the consultant said it would take around 12 months to get back to normal....still no luck I've read loads of websites that say not to worry until you've been trying for at least 12 months but I guess I'm just a bit impatient.....and there seems to be babies everywhere I look! My husband keeps telling me to stop worrying about it so much and just relax...any advise on how to do this would be much appreciated as all I can focus on is how much I would love to get pregnant for both me and my other half!
