Good Luck sunshine, I hope it all goes well for him (and you) xx

Best of luck sunshine, hope it goes well. Let us know how it goes xx

Hi all,

Terrier, when do you get the results from the sample ?

Pink, any news yet on your tests ??

Sunshine, The best of luck for today x Be prepared for doing lots of running around after your DH x

Hope everyone is well. Got my scan tomorrow to check the baby is well so wish me luck girls pls x

Hi welsh - good to hear from you! My god, cant believe you got your (20wk?) sacn tomorrow!! It seems to be flying by! Good luck with that, hope it goes well! Will you ask the gender?
Dh test results should be there on friday, and Im absolutely petrified - catch 22 situation really - I really need to know but am terrified its gonna be bad news. Af is due sat aswell (happy valentines eh?)
I guess at least I will know one way or the other!

Pink - any news?

Sunshine - how did it go?
xx

Hey girls - Sunshine good luckxx

welsh - fantastic let us know how it goes.

terrier - let us know how he gets on

Rang NHs secretary and she has sent the stuff now so will ring up on friday! eek!

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

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

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!
xx

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

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.

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

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

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 ?

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

Congratulations Welsh, that's wonderful news am tickled pink for you

Welcome on board pixie - good luck with the op - and I know what you mean time does weem to go so slowly when you are waiting!

Sorrento - wish there was something I could say to cheer you up - all I can offer is to say "you are welcome to be miserable with me!" Think we all go through that quite a lot on this thread - it seems so unfair! Really hope it all works out for you and your dh can find work soon.

Welsh - congratulations, another milestone reached - Im so happy for you!

Sunshine - hows the patient today?

Got my results today - so fingers crossed! Not feeling too optimistic, but hoping thats just down to the state of my mind lately!
xx

ha ha! yeah I'm sure you'd be able to work it out if it was a half sibling bringing bunch of flowers up the garden path....or at least I'm hoping so

Theres no getting away from it, for most of us on this blasted thread its a bloody misery, but we'll all get through it one way or another. sorrento, it must be really stressful for you at the mo, i know we are in similar situation though dh has a job now but like you said to me, think long term . fingers crossed for everyone. xxx

hi pixiejazz good luck with the op

welsh pleased your scan went well

Sorrento good luck on the 23

terrier good luck with you results today

hope everything is ok with you pink

dh is doing very well after his op does not seem to be in to much pain.

oh that sounds encouraging sunshine, how long does he have off work?

Well he's through to final interview on the 19th and booked in for the op on the 23rd so I guess if it's meant to be in he goes if not well at least we won't have wasted money we don't have.
I am a lot more positive today, my kitchens looking amazing, the bathroom is nearly there. I know it sounds daft but I would like to have a baby the way most people have a baby, with their house around them, people being happy for them and all being good in their relationship, it's not much to ask is it well hopefully some of the boxes are now ticked

Did everyone see Chris Evan's baby ? What a stunner, am broody again lol

aww chris evans baby is a cutey, obvs gets his looks from his mum LOL! Glad you are feeling more positive x

Sorrento 3 weeks he has been given of by his dr. hopefully he will get bored and go back sooner lol

sorrento - glad you are feeling more positive, sounds promising about the job too!

sunshine - make sure dh has plenty of rest, my dh was back in work after a week (much to my dismay! - he cant sit still!)

pink - heres where you get to analyse results for me - if you dont mind!
Dont think its completely hopeless - am hoping you'll tell me things could still improve (and grateful for any tips on how to do this!)

Here goes - concentration 27million (which I know is good!), then it goes really downhill - morphology 8%, motility (A-rapid progressive) 0%, motility (B- sluggish progressive) 1%, motility (C-non progressive) 15%, motility (D-immotile) 84%

So basically what gp said was sperm count is great, but its very poor quality, shape and size not great and havent learnt to swim again yet! He advises copying results to consultant for his advice and repeating sperm test in 3mths.
Problem is dh smokes, drinks (neither excessively) and is under a lot of stress at work.
We are at 10mth mark now, so not really sure how much more improvement we can expect? What do you think?
I am in a right state at the moment, but think that the 10mths of ovualtion kits and pregnancy tests, along with all my imaginary symptoms have really left their mark on me. At least now I am more realistic and hopefully wont expect to get pregnant any time soon!
Gp was talking about IVF but tbh I wasnt in the mood for listening. Will do the repeat test in 3 mths and take it from there.

Sorry for the mega long post girls (again!)
xx

forgot to add pink, that I did ask gp about anti-bodies test, but he didnt think there was an issue ?? not sure why he's assuming that as I know that its a big thing to consider with reversals
