Vasectomy reversal success??

Well done Welshlinz, I posted very early in this thread but pop back from time to time hoping to see that you all have had some good news .
Fantastic news for you - put your feet up and get some rest while you still can !!
Take care xx

I think for the extra travel I'll stick with the Liverpool one, am hoping under our circumstances that the percentage rates will be much much higher.

Not sure if that link works properly but if you look on it NW fertility services in liverpool has a 28% success rate in under 35's and CARE has a 30% success rate - a small difference I know but I am obsessive!

St mary's is in manchester - apparently its the one they usually send people to but obviously if you're paying for it you can go where you like, thats why I had a little investigation into it all on here: website compare success rates NW UK

We're going to North West Fertility in Liverpool, hopefully they are good, where's St Mary's ?

You are right Katie, I am going to try and just hope DH gets another job soon. We can ring up for the anti sperm anti body tests a week on monday so will be ale to see if IUI might be an option (which is cheaper) Where are you going for your icsi? (i think I remember you saying you are in the north west?) I am thinking of the CARE facility in manchester as Ive heard st mary's is poor.

Pink we're in the same boat my DH finishes on the 21st but you know what, to hell with it.
People have children they can't afford every day, I work for the CAB and see women with a couple of kids already living in a hostel or B&B pregnant again, so I'm afraid my attitude now is sod I am going to be irresponsible too.
I can keep the roof over our heads and things will be very tight but I am going to try and have that baby.
Plus I have been really surprised at the reponse to DH's CV on www.monster.co.uk i thought it would take him a few months to get another job but he's had lots of interest already so I'm damned if i'm going to get any older or wait any longer when they'll probably get jobs really quickly anyway.
I really feel for you, but would say be selfish, just this once and put you first.

I would donate eggs. But it looks like we wont be doing anything as DH has been told he will probably be made redundant in the next few weeks. all my plans for IUI etc now up the swannee. Feel like locking the door and never going out again

Oh Welshlinz I am sooooo happy for you, that is fantastic news.
Pink, don't know if you'd consider this but I have been told I can save £2k by donating eggs. Not sure how I feel about it, especially if somebody else got a baby using my eggs and I didn't but thought I'd mention in case that would help you at all.
We are going for the ICSI next month so am on a health kick and have banned all sorts from the house, merry bleedin Christmas lol

yes I was wondering that too.

Terrier, where are you ????

Its the IVF/ICSI thats 5K a go I think IUI is less, but wont be able to have that if there are anti sperm antibodies present

Any way, we have made enquiries for DH to have accupuncture to see if that can make any difference to the results.

I wonder where Terrier is?

hi, pink that consultant sounds horrible. It makes all the difference having somebody nice you can actually ask questions to instead of being barked at !! Hopefully you won't get him again. The consultant we saw after DH's op was a bit like that. Wasn't interested one bit and said 'give it a go first but remember I'm here if you decide you want IVF' Didn't feel I could ask anything as it was obvious he was not interested !!

Had no idea IUI was so expensive ! When would you consider trying that ?

think I am on about 2dpo but not got my crosshairs on FF yet - am doing OK. saw the consultant monday (not the same we saw originally unfortunately) and he was HORRIBLE really abrupt, kept offering me clomid in the same breath as telling my blood tests showed I was ovulating and that didn't really need it

DH's sperm test results still below the WHO guidelines (but have gone up a bit from 11.3mil/ml to 15.7 mil/ml) but we are waiting on anti sperm antibody results and to be honest I think this is the problem as motility and morphology were both still really poor despite an increase in count

When we get the ASA tests back if antibodies are not too bad we are going to go for IUI if its really bad anitbodies then its IVF/ICSI but god only knows how we will afford it at 5K a go just wish things hadn't had to come to this.

Any way I will keep my fingers crossed everything goes well for you although I have no dubt it will, please send us lots of baby luck

thanks pink, everything is going fine so far. Got a midwife appointment next week which feels so strange ! Did another test a couple of days ago just to check it wasn't my imagination and I got a nice dark line so fingers crossed it's going to stick

I just wish so much that you girls all get your BFPs soon xx How are you getting on this cycle pink ?

hope its all going well Linz x

thanks shm, well you know how bad my DH's sperm results were so I think thats another reason we're so shocked it's happened this quickly.

Am booked in to see a midwife next Thurs so fingers crossed everything will be well. I want this so much

Really pleased for you linz! Hope it all goes well - do share the experience with us! I've got a HyCoSy scheduled for Wednesday 5th November and have to take something called northisterone (sp?) to bring on a bleed before then. DP and I already arranged to take his kids on a cruise next week for half term, so I will be all crampy and bleedy the whole time - GREAT TIMING.

But decided to go ahead with it as I need to get things moving along... I turned 39 ten days ago

DP did another sample about a month ago but we haven't found out the results, so no idea if his little wigglies are getting better or not.

I will shower this entire thread with loads and loads of baby dust and am just praying now that this is a sticky little bean for me and DH xx

I am still in denial and convincing myself the tests must be wrong and have picked up on some hormone that is causing a false positive. Am going to see the doc this morning about my recurring thrush so will see if she can put my mind at rest a bit !!

aw linz I am so pleased for you thats fantastic! Please send some baby luck my way! xxxxxx

hi all, great to hear from you terrier x

Sorry your consultant was rubbish pink. How annoying that they didn't even have your DH's sperm results !!

Well......I have some news. My AF is due on Saturday but I decided to test today anyway as I've been feeling really sick with sore boobs and I got a .........BFP !!!!!!!!

Did 3 tests in total but got a definate pregnant with the clear blue digital which estimates I'm 1-2 weeks past conception which makes me not yet 4 weeks pregnant.

Not getting excited yet as I know it's incredibly early ( and to be honest didn't think I'd get a postive 6 days before AF ) but couldn't wait to tell you girls.

Whatever happens now at least we know that the op was obviously a success and I'm amazed we've conceived in 3 months !!!!

Hello ladies - saw a different consultant tonight who was horrible! I wont bore you with the details but lets just say he had 0 bedside manner!

Basically he said my tests seem to show everything is fine - blood tests show ovulation, scan showed tubes open etc. However, DH's further sperm test results were STILL not back so have to ring up again in 2-3 weeks. So am still in limbo and no closer to any real understanding and/or plan for the future ...arrrggghhh!

Feel ready to just say "sod it" and start spending money on enjoying ourselves with a holiday rather keep thinking I need to save it for IVF! But not quite there yet!

Hope you guys are all OK xx

Hello marie my DH had microsurgery - not sure about the others?

can I ask if your Dh had micro surgery or the older way?
