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

What did you have issues with KatieDD? Hope it wasn't anything I said??? Am mega confused!

KatieDD · 10/10/2008 19:33

Gosh no not you, the thread has been deleted so I won't drag it all up again, but somebody was being an utter cow and not abiding by the mumsnet rules, so I spat my dummy.
All sorted now, sorry for the confusion and drama

pinkspook · 10/10/2008 19:44

Whew! I was reading my posts and wondering what I'd done

Have you sorted out anything WRT sperm aspiration/IVF yet? I am intrigued by the idea of it. I am going to ask about IUI at my consultant app on the 20th.

Glad you came back!

KatieDD · 10/10/2008 20:06

Ah thank you.
It's a long story but Dh is about to be made redundant in November and has several jobs in the pipeline so am not worried (well yet) but basically if he gets a job quickly I get the go at IVF, if we have to live on his redundancy money for a bit then I don't.
So I am trying not to get excited, but obviously am almost knitting and doing lots of research but not booking.
By all accounts in our situation where there would be no fertility issues if it wasn't for the vasectomy then it should happen first time. It's £5k hence why I only get one go.
But I have promised I'll shut up forever if the timing doesn't work out, May 2009 is the latest, (well Jan 2010 really) so I have everything crossed, god knows we're due some luck.

pinkspook · 11/10/2008 08:50

LOL at the knitting

So its 5K with the sperm aspiration or is that extra on top? I am trying to price things up you see

How exciting! so we may have some news on this thread soon! Keep us posted.

KatieDD · 11/10/2008 09:56

It's £5k in total. So I'm thinking use his £5k for one go, shhut up about it then save another £5k if it doesn't work and have one more go, then that really will be it.
The trouble is every fortune teller I've ever seen tells me I have three and I don't know if I'm mad to believe them or if they are trying to save me from myself

pinkspook · 12/10/2008 09:33

I think you'll never be able to rest if you dont at least give it a try despite what fortune tellers may say. I wish you the absolute best luck in the whole world, I really do. Send some luck my way!

hello guys... anyone still lurking round on this thread ??

hope all is well with everybody. Just thought I'd check in and keep the thread going. Not much to report really. Still a week and a bit to go before my AF due so no doubt will be back on again soon doing my usual phantom symptom spotting

pinkspook · 16/10/2008 16:47

Hiya linz - I am always kurking about here! Good luck for this month I see the consultant again on Monday - cant wait! xx

pinkspook · 16/10/2008 16:47

lurking even

welshlinz · 16/10/2008 20:36

ooh thats great news pink. What will you find out from this consultation ? Is it more fertility tests or have you decided to try IVF ?

pinkspook · 17/10/2008 11:21

We should get the feedback from the tests and scans we have had so far and also maybe a referral for DH to a urologist?? [hopeful emoticon] I have decided I will enquire about IUI/IVF and where we go from here with regards to what we can get on NHS etc. Scared but excited! How are you?

shm · 17/10/2008 16:43

[lurk] I am still waiting to get a hycosy thingie...dp has given another sample but no results yet. So not posting because nothing's happening!

pinkspook · 17/10/2008 16:49

hello lurky! When is your hycosy shm? Its true, not a lot happens for us on this thread and there are not many of us to keep it moving but as long as we all check back in now and again I feel it helps - talking to people withvery similar "ishoos" certainly helps me anyway!

welshlinz · 17/10/2008 18:04

hiya girls, hope everyone is ok. No wonder you're excited pink about seeing the consultant. Sounds like you're going to get loads of info on how things are progressing and different avenues etc.. Hope you get loads of good news xx

Still not much to report yet. Sore boobs, feeling major sick but nothing that I don't have every month so not holding out much hope really.

mariew1974 · 18/10/2008 18:34

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

pinkspook · 18/10/2008 19:01

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

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

welshlinz · 20/10/2008 20:57

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 !!!!

pinkspook · 21/10/2008 07:10

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

welshlinz · 21/10/2008 08:16

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 !!

shm · 22/10/2008 15:01

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.

welshlinz · 22/10/2008 18:30

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

pinkspook · 26/10/2008 15:28

hope its all going well Linz x
