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

hi all, welcome pixie x

Keep us posted on the results, terrier and pink.

Sunshine, congrats. Sounds promising so good luck.

Scan went well and looks like we're having another girl but the cord was between the legs so not 100% certain. Main thing is everything looks ok thank god

Sorrento · 12/02/2009 14:38

Am a bit nervous Pink, we don't have the money for it at all which I knew would happen and DH still hasn't got a job at all. I want to be excited but it just feels a bit depressing really. Sorry am a right misery at the moment.
I'm going for the egg sharing, assuming we go ahead though and I'll just make sure I'm not contactable in 18 years time, I think it'll be damn obvious if one of my kids wants to marry their half brother won't it ?

pinkmook · 12/02/2009 13:38

ah sorrento just read back along the thread and found were it says op is 23rd feb ...are you excited? I bet you can start the ivf soon after that cant you? Did you decide whether or not to do the egg sharing thing? x

pinkmook · 12/02/2009 13:35

Hi pixiejazz glad you found us its always good to have new people on board :-)

Good luck with the op and like sorrento says feel free to ask anything xx

sorrento my dear I've been wondering whats going on with you? Remind me where you are up to...did dh have his aspiration op thingy? xx

Sorrento · 12/02/2009 09:51

Welcome to the thread pixie, there's lots of info on here already but if there's anything we can do to help or support you, please shout out.

pixiejazz · 12/02/2009 09:26

Hi all, been reading all your posts and really comforted in a strange sort of way that there are others out there going through it too! My dh had vasectomy whilst in his last marriage after having 3 children. At the time he was just 25. We have been together now for 5 years and we have finally bit the bullet and booked the op for mid march, we have our consultation at the end of this month.
We're really hoping for some success but both a little nervous my past experiences with pregnancy in a past marriage have not been great with one stillbirth and miscarriage a year later. If this doesn't work will maybe find myself giving up on the whole mum thing!!
I guess it's a matter of time but time seems to go so slowly when waiting for these things to happen then you realise years down the line that everyone else seems to have babies except you!!!
Well, that was a lenghthy intro anyway will keep you posted. Take care everyone x

Hey sunshine - sounds like it went well. hope you are looking after him! Its horrible to see them like that isnt it? I can remember feeling quite guilty about asking him to have it done when i saw what a mess it left my dh in, until I realised it was his decision to have BOTH ops done! Men are crazy!

Pink - sounds exciting - things are starting to move forward for you!

Hey sunshine - hope your dh is not in too much discomfort. To be honest you will find almost everyone will say similar stories to yours (i.e one side was really damaged other side ok) I somtimes think its a standard script surgeons use to cover their asses if your sperm count isnt great afterwards On ly time will tell how its all worked out, but it doesnt sound like theres any reason to thnk its goone badly so congratulations!

Keep us posted xx

sunshineday · 11/02/2009 18:23

pink good luck for Friday.

we are home after dh vr, when his vasectomy was done the original doctor burnt his tubes and on the left side the were no tubes at all to re- connect, on the right side they were burnt but there was a small amount of tube to be able to re build before connecting? not sure really what will happen from here now but just wait and see I suppose

pinkmook · 11/02/2009 16:54

Hey Pink - any news?

hi everyone,
well we went to see the consultant tonight and she said she was happy to do the op and there was a good chance of it being succesful as it was done less than 3 yrs ago etc . then she examined dh and she is pretty sure that it was done with clips and the tubes havent been cut which makes it an easier op.

the appointment for the big day has been made for the afternoon of 11th March. I cant believe its really going to happen but im not letting myself get excited.

Ive just got to phone and check the exact price etc on MOnday as it was too late to do it today and the consultant only deals with her fee, the hospital does the rest moneywise.

terrier- hope your hubby made it yto the hospital for his sample on wednesday.

Hey everyone

Terrier ooooh good luck for you and DH with the test - at least you will have a better idea one way or another whats happening and can act accordingly - thats what Ive found - its better to just know what you are dealing with.

Sorrento - not long now then! Have everything crossed for you.

I am awaiting results from all my tests done on the NHS being sent to CARE and then I have to ring the "egg sharing team" ! eeek and the whole process will begin! Should get a phonecall from nhs consultants secretary by friday to confirm this has been done then its all systems go! Wish me luck girlies!

Hi sorrento - thats excellent news - things are starting to move forward for you (i'll bet it still seems like a long time away to you though). Lets hope its the start of some good luck for all us deserving ladies on this thread!

Well, today is the day that my dh has to provide his sample. We have had really heavy snow and the schools are still closed. So I've been really anxious (not like me I know!), about will we make it to the hospital, will the appointment be cancelled etc etc! With the school still closed it means dh will have to go alone (I can hardly take 2 dc's with me!), but now hes been called into work!! I've phoned the hospital and the appointment is still on, and my dh has promised me he will make it there!

sorrento · 03/02/2009 14:07

Slight development here hubby has a new op date of 23rd Feb.
Terrier keep us posted, good things come to those who wait (I'm convinced of it).

Hi welsh, bet you cant wait! I'd love to have a summer baby, cos my 2 are both december babies (one is actually xmas day!) - come to think of it maybe Im only fertile around March time! Lol!

Thanks pink - you are my rock! We get the results on Friday 13th Feb (and my af is due 14th Feb - Valentines day - nice!). Will probably not be one here til the Saturday though cos the gp appointment isnt until 4.50pm and will have dh here. He's not that keen on sharing our private lives with strangers - I dont think he understands the benefits!
I had one hell of a blow out on him yesterday, really let it all out, and now I feel really sorry for him because I realise he is trying his best. Unfortunately I cant help feeling this shit, and sooner or later he needed to know how low Im feeling, so he can try to help me through it. I think that I've just felt like I was doing it all on my own and that he wasnt making an effort or concerned about things. We are united in our misery now - so thats nice! Lol!
Possibly TMI here but any ideas whats going on here? We bd'd last night (cd16) and this morning I have woken up to find myself and my bed (new linen too!) completely saturated in blood. I am still bleeding now though it is quite light. I have suffered cervical erosion in the past (though not for a few years), so Im hoping it is just that. Not very nice though, will have to see gp if it continues.

Hows the weather with everyone? We have a very small spattering of snow, but hardly anything really, but the car wouldnt start this morning and I had to walk the kids to school.. Its a half an hour walk and my dd was almost crying with th cold, bless her. Just hope it doesnt get worse and I have to walk them back home in it!

Hi

Terrier, I'm fine thanks

My due date is officially 29th June but should be around 22nd because of the c-section. Should find out the exact date at my next consultation appointment though.

pinkmook · 01/02/2009 11:50

Oh and Hi welsh! good to see you back xx
