Vasectomy reversal success??

Pink I have a similar dilelma, they didn't tell me the blood tests would take 4 weeks and I am due on exactly as they should come back, mean the earliest I could hope to start down reg is May and I think that's too late to get pregnant that month, so I'd be looking at June or even July. I so do not want that 6 year age gap, but equally I would be saving £2k it's so hard to know what to do. And that's with everything being straight forward.

I also think I have issues with my details, address etc being given to the donor, I can't seem to get my head around the DC's potentially having a half brother or sister. And what if it works for the donor but not for me ?

I'm giving myself another week to make a decission but am leaning towards stumping up the extra money and going for it.
I can donate eggs as my thank you to god later if I decide I can live with the implications.

Oh and I'm only having one egg, have given that lots of thought too.

Hello all

I was on this thread a while ago but have had nothing to contribute - we are just still trying, nothing happening. My partner is queuing up to see an endocrinologist (been waiting since before Xmas for an appt!) after a referral from our fertility consultant. I can't remember his stats, but the problem is abnormal forms rather than motility. He had the reversal in May 2008, about 7 years after the orig snip. I was wondering if anyone else's partner has been sent to an endocrinologist, and if so was it useful?
thanks
Stephanie

Hey terrier - turns out the blood tests I had will take 4-6 weeks so counselling in 4 weeks is fine. Was weird giving details to co-ordinator tht she will shre with recipients (height, hair colour, weight, eye colour) didnt have to give as much info as I thought though. In america they have photos of you as child and your educational achievements and everything! I can ask if the recipient gets pg but they will not tell me unless i ask (think i'd only ask if i got pg and everything was ok)also have to decide what to do if less thn 8 eggs retrieved - do i give them all to recipient nd try again with higher drugs dose (in whiich case they will give me the next cycle for free) or drop egg sharing keep them all myself and pay the full £5,500 ivf cost (not sure we can afford that. We have to decide now as she said the point were they would need an answer I would be coming round from sedation so not a good time to decide!

Any thoughts ladies?

hey everyone - not been on for a while

Welsh - thanks for thinking of me hope your pg going well :-)

I am off to the clinic again today for blood tests and to meet with egg share co-ordinator. Counselling has been postponed til 24th april!!! Hoping thats not going to stop the process from moving forwards - will be having words today if that is the case!

Welcome to the new people, glad to see everyones doing well.

hi everyone. dh is doing well. hes still sore and a bit swollen . he got both sides done as far as we know.
Hospital was shite. dh wont let me complain to them but im not happy with a few things.
We got it done at the private hospital in Edinburgh and cos dh doesnt come round from anaesthetics too well, they woke him up slowly and then the dr explained how the op ha dgone while he was just coming round so he cant remember most of what was said.
I went through to visit him on wed night to take him some juice and stuff and the nurse was a cow. after 5 mins she came in and moaned there were too many of us. - me and 3 children There are no restrictions on how many visitors and he was in his own room ffs.
THen dh was starving so cow nurse appeared at 9pm and gave him a sandwich and said your soup was cold so you cant get it. THe dinner had been brought up at 5pm and he only got out of surgery at 5.30pm.
Several of the nurses told him he shouldnt nhave had the original vas op so young blah blah blah. And cowbag nurse then went om to ask who was paying for it - what the fxxx is it to do with her.
Then aftre I picked him up on thu morning and brought him home he phoned his own gp cos he needed a sick line for his work cos they have gave him 2 weeks off and his gp wanted to know where his discharge letter was. We never got one, gp gave him sick line but would prefer to have a letter to keep his records right. aaaaaarggggghhhh. and now im choked with the cold too.

rant over , i cant believe thats it raelly done .
IM back to looking at all teh gorgeous baby clothes and sitting watching baby programs on sky.

Hi all, terrier, sorry your AF arrived but I think having a month off is a great idea. It'll give you a break from ttc and help you relax. Good luck for next month

Wow, lots of things are happening for the rest of you ladies aswell. Glad to hear all your other halves seem to be getting better after their ops and wising you all luck for your sperm results etc..

Pink, hope everything is ok x Haven't been on here that much lately but am keeping tabs on how your getting on x

Hi Everyone. Been meaning to join in the discussion for a while but just been rading all the posts rather than posting. My bf had the ope on 20th December and he is due for the three month sperm test in a couple of weeks. Quite nervous really incase it is not good news. Part of me thought that it was going to happen really quickly but I guess it's not as easy as that! Keep trying all these cheap pregnancy tests just incase but they are always negative :-(

Anways I guess we will find out more in a couple of weeks.

Good luck all x

Kellykate hope dh is doing ok after his op.

hope everyone else is doing ok.

Hope everyones doing well.

ok its too late for dh to change his mind cos thats the op over and done with.
hospital just phoned to say that op went ok and dh is fine. Hes still sleeping though so they said he wont be allowed home before 9pm at the earliest so Im not even sure if we'll be visiting tonight cos I know that if me and the kids go through he'll want to come home with us. He was booked in to stay overnight anyway and I really dont want him moving about too soon and wrecking the vasectomy reversal.
Hospital said that before the op he was very nervous and was adamant he was going home tonight.
Im dying to find out how the actual op went though and if it worked.

Ill be back tomorrow to let update when i know a bit more.

Hi everyone hope you're all doing ok, sunshine glad to hear that your dh has recovered and back in work, I'm sure all will be fine and fingers crossed for your Baby bundle at Christmas!
KellyK, we're about to make final payment for dh op this week too kinda sealed the deal then - no going back!!
Sorrento - keep smiling, an April baby sounds lovely,so does Australia!!
Terrier hope all is well with you x
If op goes well I guess we'll be aiming for an April baby too!! - any month will do me I'm not fussy!!
Take care all x

Fingers x for a April baby for you then

My af is due 12th so from then onwards. Not that I'm obsessing (much ) but if I get caught this month I'll have a new baby just before Christmas this year! my sensible head tells me it will not be that easy.

Well no this is the thing they haven't even got the eggs out yet and it all just seems to be taking forever, plus the hospital is moving in April so it would have been close anyway.
Am resigned to it being an April baby now ;-)
I guess as long as we get there in the end and it'll mean we can go to a family thing is Australia at Christmas so maybe it'll all work out, bout time something went right lol

How are you, when will you be able to start TTC have they said ?

Sorrento so sorry the hospital are messing you around, have they said when the eggs will be ready for them to implant?

Oh he's fine, thanks for asking.
Am really fed up with the hospital because they said they need blood from me on day 1 of my period and day 21.
Well day 1 in December was the 3rd and so 21 was Christmas eve, no way was I treking accross town then, so they said don't worry come in January and I forgot
So we get to Febuary and it turns out they don't need it at all, (saved me another £150, am sure they make it up as they go along) and it's unlikely I'll have embroy's ready to implant in May (which would have given me my Feb baby).
I know it's hardly the end of the world, am much more chilled about it, but Feb would have worked really well for us and there was no reason why we couldn't have had feb either so was just pissed off. His went well I think he's up and about and a bit sore.

Rant over Kelly there's no going back now ;-)

kellykateneedsaholiday good luck for next week.

sorrento hope you are ok?

pixiejaz good luck to dh for 25th.

Hi terrier hope everything if ok with you to.

My dh is back in work tomorrow. Im very excited we ttc now but also worried it will not be as easy as I hope.

hi everyone. Ive just payed for dhs op so he cant change his mind now Its next wed so Im getting a bit excited about it in a nervous way if that makes sense. Dh just keeps thinking what he could have spent £2500 on instead that wouldnt have involved him being in pain like a motorbike .
Hope everyones doing well and there was nothing wrong with sorrentos Dh.

Can I have a big rant please about the hospital when I get back from the school run ?

Hi all,
Just got back from consultation after a 13 hour round trip! Bum still numb from being in the car so long but well worth it! Seems that it looks fairly positive although I'm sure that's what they say to everyone! Apparently a good chance as dh tubes were cut rather than burnt so makes rejoining much easier. He went through stats re blow out and the percentages etc but he seemed really nice and feel a lot more reassured. He thinks that dh is gonna be living the life of luxury as he's booked a month off work to recover! I'm sure that will be the case although I have noted Sorrento that yours has been up and about!!
Well next step is operation on the 25th March so counting down now!
Take care everyone xx
