Vasectomy reversal success??

awww KatieDD that made my stomach leap - imagine....twins...eeeeekkkk!

Pink your time is much appreciated on here, once the twins arrive we won't see you for dust

Great news Kellykate, first step forward

Here's a link that explains persona - god I really have got nothing better to do!

persona

Hope you are feeling better terrier - I hate being sick too, am also a big wimp

welshlinz A persona is a type of fertility monitor - you can use it to either prevent pregnancy or get pregnant - no prizes for guessing which one terrier's using it for I had one but stopped using it because of my wacky cycles....its no good if you have really long cycles. A red day is a Highly fertile day. get to it terrier

thats fantastic news kellykate...keep us posted. Hoping we'll get our appointment sometime next week so fingers crossed.

oohhh phoned the consultant yesterday and weve got an appointment for FRIDAY!!!. I was expecting to wait for ages for one.
Hope you feel better soon terrier.

terrier, poor you. That bug is really nasty so I believe.

Scooby is also a Springer Spaniel so we're a sucker for trouble adding to the clan with another one probably lol. He gets a bit lonely in the day though which is why we decided to get him a play mate. Even though I'm around, I can't give him the attention he needs cos as you no they are high energy dogs.

We picked her last night and DD has named her Holly. She's coming to us in 2 weeks and is soooo cute. Hopefully I'll be so busy with her, that it will make the time go faster for DH's operation ( although this wasn't the reason we decided to get another dog. We planned this long before the reversal )

Going to sound really niave now, but what is persona ? and whats a red day mean ?

Awwww Thanks KatieDD...can I have two girls and two boys please

Yep I think you are right the credit crunch does kind of put the stoppers on new businesses unless you are something that people need when things are tight...hmmmmm puts thinking hat on..takes it off again and has a lie down, far too stressfull!!

I have to agree with you on that Katie, the credit crunch is going to hit every retailer badly.

Pink, i just don't budge on price really. Sellers are silly on there and like you said, I don't no how they make any profit on their items. I stick to a buy it now price and then I no I'll get what I need for my profit margin. Because they sell them so cheaply, their stock sells quickly so I hold back and then list mine at a realistic price.

Not saying it's easy by any means. Some days I may not sell anything but so far I'm doing much better than I thought.

Anyway, enough of the boring work stuff. It's Friday !! and apparently the happiest day of the year but for some reason I'm really tetchy today lol Going to look at a Springer Spaniel puppy tonight as a play mate for our other dog, Scooby ( must be mad !! )

Pink if i have 10 i promise i'll give at least 4 to you !

The other thing is the credit crunch I know we're tightening our belts so i'm sure lots of other people must be just buying the essentials too.
I'm not sure i'd start any business right now except debt collection maybe

Welshlinz - sounds like you are a very pragmatic and organised person - I am very impressed! Think thats where I would fall down....dont tend to think things through that well

I just cant see how to make profit for me personally - like I said , I looked at the prices on the website you suggested and others but stuff doesn't seem to sell for more than a few pence more than you can buy it for How do you do it Welshlinz !!!???

KatieDD - fortune tellers ...meh! I'll probably only have the one and you'll have ten!

Yeah, you have to be careful with ebay that you cover your costs etc.. I have been working on there for about 2 years and doing business properly for over 12 months so I've figured out various systems of making sure all my costs are covered. Like for example, if an item is returned I take a 10% handling and re-stocking charge which covers my ebay fees and I dont refund any p&p.

Also, with regards missing items, I send all my parcels out recorded delivery which the customer pays for so I no when my parcels have arrived and if Royal Mail loose something I send a claim in for a full refund off them ( which thankfully I've only ever had to do once. )

I know what you're saying though, Katie. You've got to really think about things before putting your money into stock etc and be sure you can make it work. For example my sis-in-law saw how well I was doing and decided to buy a pallet of clothing to give it a go herself. She ended up making a small profit but not really enough for all the time and effort she put into it.

Hows things going with the appointment making KatieDD ??

Ah i was told i's have three children by a fortune teller so i'm hoping he's wrong

I didn't want to discourage people but I have been there and done the ebay business thing and once you start factoring in the genuine postal losses, the people who say they haven't had parcels but have, the damaged stuff and the changing their mind within 7 days and not getting back the final value fee, it actually cost me money to sell the stuff.

Sit back and wait, the next big thing will happen soon, I'm thinking of drilling oil in the back garden.

I'm expecting that the baby won't happen as a way of coping and because my cousin lost one at 30 weeks, I don't assume i'll have it until it's in my arms now, coping mechanism I guess

terrier, thats frustrating about the business thing. Can't u just make a name up ? Surely they dont check do they ? Mind u, not sure if that would be legal lol

Pink, yes my friend has just left and she has made me feel slightly broody as her bump is starting to show and she's really happy. She had her coil out in Feb and caught in March so she's been really lucky!!

Aww welshlinz you will be really broody when you see her I bet - i always am! A fortune teller told me (when I was about 10) that when I was older I would have a baby then try for another and end up with twins! !

I no, DH keeps asking why I'm being so negative about the op. If I'm honest, I think it's my way of handling things just incase. Was so niave before i found this forum I honestly believed that I'd get pregnant straight away without even trying . So by preparing myself for the worst case scenario I'm finding it easier.
Yor totally right pink, I would hate to think of not trying at all and never knowing. Would always ask "what if ??"

Got my friend calling down this afternoon. Shes 4 months gone so thats going to get me even more broody I expect lol

Had my fortune told yesterday by the way. She said she could see a baby boy in my cards so you never no !!

could

Glad you found a supplier too - did you decide to go with fancy dress in the end?

I have looked at a few suppliers but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of profit in the things I have been looking at.

Don't think about paying for the op as a waste of money if it goes wrong - you have to think in terms of how would you feel if you didn't get the op and never even tried? I couldn't cope with the thought of not even trying so even if ultimately it doesn't work for me at least we explored every option....but I do know what you mean about spending all that money ...with this credit crunch I cold do with 2 grand back in the bank LOL Oh well never mind, ebay here I come

We're a bit worried about the money issue aswell. I think everybody is when they think about it but they all seem to cope way or another I suppose. My biggest fear is spending all this money on op and it doesn't work and then its just 2 grand of savings down the drain!!! Anyway lol, I'm cheerful today aren't I ?

Thats good news about finding a supplier Terrier. Even if you don't do things straight away, you'll get a feel for the market etc..

Terrier I know exactly how you feel, whilst we were talking about having another and I was having a tantrum money was not an issue, I was earning a fortune, ever since he agreed my work had dried up and I haven't had a penny for over 2 weeks, it's as if somebody is trying to tell me something.
I still really really miss working in an office 6 months later, but have never been so busy as a SAHM.

hi cant really think of any off hand but if you type into your search engine, wholesale suppliers of the type of product your looking to stock, you should get quite a few suggestions. I think theres one called kangaroo charlie aswell but not sure what they're like to deal with. Good luck xxx

Good luck katykelly........

On a totally none vasectomy reversal related issue...Welshlinz - do you know any other websites like the one you named earlier in the thread I am researching my ebay career move TIA
