Vasectomy reversal success??

Hi Girls - CD 23 and still no ov thats why Ive been MIA waiting to bloody ov!

Stephanie - Not arcane at all - see the top of the page, next to heading "useful stuff", acronym list. Your DH sperm results sound quite good for a first sample, good luck!

Hi StephanieM, guess you've read the thread so know basically where we're all at but hubby had his reversed on the 11th July and we are now awaiting his 1st sample results.

Hello everyone

It's interesting to read all these messages - though I don't understand your arcane code exactly, I'm going to use plain english! My honey had the snip 6 yrs ago with his ex-wife after they'd had 2 kids, having decided that they didn't want any more. But then she came home pregnant by the neighbour - he's a sweetie so said he would raise it as his own. Then she moved in another boyfriend into his house, and he was still a sweetie... finally she just left, after getting my honey to buy them a house and a car... but this isn't about her, it's about my honey's snip [sorry, I get carried away]. We've been together 4 years and last Christmas he said he wanted to have a baby with me - much to my surprise - but I realised I was actually into the idea, so he got himself repaired (8th May) and a couple of weeks ago did his first sample. The consultant I'm seeing is a really poor communicator and so I don't really know what it all means, but he has 20% motility and 10% normal forms. I saw the WHO guidelines that you posted and he's not terribly below them... He also said that his sample looked a bit'rusty' - like there was old blood in it. ALSO, I am on medication which causes elevated prolactin hormone, which makes my body think I am breastfeeding, so I am not ovulating, haven't since Christmas. ALSO, I am 39 in October.

I didn't realise it would be this difficult - I'd already chosen names!

ok, pink and terrier, where are you both hiding ?? lol

Had stomach cramps like period pains last night. Was imagining all sorts Isn't it weird how you notice every little thing your body is doing when your ttc ?!! I'm becoming a nightmare for it !

Just anxiously waiting for DH's results to come back so I'm crossing all my fingers it's good news

How are you both getting on with everything ?

thanks rossco, I know exactly what you mean about the option of having any more children being taken away from you and that's really hard to deal with x
Possibly you could get your DH to consider a reversal ???

I asked my dh if he was sure too. He said yes but asked if I was. I said not really but he just gave me ahug and said I'd get over it.

I have tried to get over it for 2 years! I know I'm being stupid and that we have 4 dc but I would love to have the option of another.

Good luck to all those ttc after a vas reversal.

hi all,

terrier, I can't believe he's offered you a mere £5.00 !! What a cheek ! It seems to be the norm now for alot of men to just give up the job instead of paying the CSA but confused as to why he decided to contact them in the first place ??

anyway, sorry to hear you appointment was cancelled, pink, but glad you're trying to look on the bright side xx

I have no idea when I'm meant to be ovulating cos for some bizarre reason I seem to be showing no signs whatsoever so mega confused. Oh well, DH is doing his sample on Wed so we have been abstaining since yesterday. I have told him we are definately BD wednesday evening to be in with a very slim chance of catching my ov this month. If I ovulated tomorrow ( Tues ), would we miss it by Wed night ??

yep terrier - V frustrating - they just said circs beyond their control

On the plus side though I was worried because when I went for my initial appointment they told me to do (the standard) day 2/3 and day 21 blood tests but sent me away with only the forms for day 2/3 test so have just rung up and explained that I thought the two had to be compared against each other and was now worried that after this huge delay I would get to app and they wouldn't be able to tell me anything...so the upshot is they are sending me forms for both blood tests through the post so I can do them before my new app in November! Trying to see the positives in this delay

Haven't ov'd today - wonder when it will be

you all ok?

Hi Girls - ov due Monday if I ov on day 14 but convinced I will not ov then as my CM pattern isn't pointing to it (TMI I know!) maybe Tuesday Wednesday but you never can tell with my cycles!

I got my clearblue test but not excited about sing it as I know it'll be a BFN My bloody consultant has just sent me a note saying my appointment is cancelled until November!!!! Can't believe it!

Hope you guys are OK

hi terrier, yes I registered but think it was possibly too late as I haven't received anything as of yet x

Hopefully I may be on a similar ovulation date to you then. If it was Wednesday we would stand a better chance this month. Guess we'll just have to wait and see now

terrier, not that great on when I'm meant to be ovulating really but thought it was Monday ? Does this sound about right for when you are both due aswell seeing as we are all on near enough the same cycle this month ?

Terrier - no advice except to say from personal experience, experience of friends and reading millions of threads on here and other places....when you start TTC a lot of peoples cycles go wacky. Just out of my 4 of my friends who started TTC in the last couple of years all of us have ad 12 months of strange cycles before settling down.

How long have you been TTC now? about 3 months or so? It's still early days yet so try not to worry too much - if things still strange in a few months do like I did and get referred. I know its easier said than done though! Believe me 12 months on I am getting a bit sick of TTC!

terrier, I have no idea what's going on with that sorry x does your AF usually last this long ?

Went to see the consultant today who said the infection is alot better and the blood clot has gone done 50%. He was pleased with everything and said none of these things will affect the chances of the op being successful so HOORAY !!

DH has been given his pot for the first semen analysis so it needs to be done on Tuesday. I've worked out that if we need to abstain for 3 days prior I think I'm going to miss my ov days this month so guess ttc will have to wait till next month !! So frustrating !!! (((stamps feet like spoilt child))))

lol pink, we had a go last night too but can't help worrying that if DH has got an infection, is there any chance he could pass it on to me ??

Phoned the consultant yesterday anyway and said I wasn't very happy as he hasn't seen DH once since the op despite all these problems so he's fitted him in tomorrow Just feel I need him to say everything is ok to put my mind at rest.

Terrier, has your hubby put his sample in yet ??

Hi Linz - maybe he will start to feel better in time for this month? If not, you will both be even more up for it by next month hopefully so its all good

We started bonking last night (CD8) starting early this month! just hope I dont get a really long cycle now and run out of steam before ov

Thanks all x DH is not really much better so has to go back tomorrow to see if he's improving or whether further tests are needed !! I'm probably thinking we won't bother ttc this month as I don't want him to feel any pressure on top of being so poorly Will just see how it goes x Anyway, how's things with everyone ?? All ready for the month of bonking ahead ?

you're bound to feel like its some kind of "omen" but really its not. Fingers crossed for your TTC'ing this month.

thanks pink. the doc says neither the blood clot or the infection will make any difference to the op but can't help thinking that it hasn't worked now !! Oh well, we'll see what happens. This is the 1st month we're going to ttc so fingers crossed x
