Had surgery scopeing my inside for tubal ligation reversal
Anyways, the Dr informed in recovery that I cannot be reversed. The tubal ligation was done very well. So if he removed the damaged tubes, I would be left with 3 cm of good tube...but I need 4 cm min...the longer the tube the better. However the good news is I have a perfect uterus, the dr said he would never have known I've had two c-sec, the same dr that did my ligation did the c-sec...sewed me up perfectly. The uterus is large too...lots of room for twins. LOL. The ovaries are also very healthy. So the next step would be IVF, and that has him optomistic everything will go great. I have no endemitriosis (sp)...or any other problems...which was good. But he couldn't explain why I get such bad cramps, or heavy gushing periods...so that must be related to the ligation...a condition called PTLS. But he did not say that...just from reading about it I figured that it fits..however not being able to reverse them I will never know if they could get better. I will have a followup to find out more about the IVF, and get referred to Calgary. The surgery itself: They went through my bellybutton and another hole on the left side. They filled my body with air...blew it up like a balloon to be able to see everything. They try and take out as much of the air as possible, but some still gets trapped it. So when I left I had pain from the bellybutton area, and pain in my shoulder from the air. But was able to walk out of there. They gave my a prescription for tylenol 3...but on pain scale of 0-10...10 being extremely painful...I'd say I feel about a 4. I've taken a couple tylenols, but by tommorrow I should be past the discomfort and almost back to normal. Right now everything is stiff, hard to walk and get up, and my shoulders still hurt. |

| Glad to hear it went well.....sorry the news wasn't better. I hope the IVF works out for you. How soon can you start working on that? |
On the postive side, won't twins be nice?!?  |
BEING a twin, my vote would be for singles  I always lived in fear that I would have twins since I was a twin.
What do YOU think Darcy? |
I have loved being a twin....but I know what we put our parent through too....twice the trouble 
twice the clothes, twice the laundry, cat fights, sharing EVERYTHING, oh the list goes on..... |
I loved having twins. After having the girls, I wanted twin boys . We had 1 boy, so we decided to quit with 3 healthy kids. I still would have loved to have that 2nd set of twins........  |
Glad to hear it went well  |
| Glad the surgery went well...sorry it wasn't perfect news, but it sounds doable...
I'll probably end up having twins, so maybe we can be twin-buddies...  |
| Sorry a reverse isn't possible, good luck with IVF! |
| Good luck to you! You have really put a lot into this, so I hope you get what you want.
I'm glad the surgery didn't put you in more pain. Not that 4 is good... |
| Sorry they couldn't do the reversal.
That's great that they think the IVF will work. Good Luck!! |
| Glad all is fine. Good luck with the IVF! |
| Thanks everyone, I was prepared for this news, so not totally let down.
I can start IVF in probably 5 mths...I have to be put on their waiting list. I might have to go through some blood tests for them. When I see my dr again for a followup he will discuss it in more detail, and make the referral. So probably 2 weeks I will see him again. And then maybe they (IVF) clinic has a cancellation and I can get in sooner than 5 mths. But with IVF it takes 2 weeks from injections to harvesting to impanting...then 2 week wait for preg test. Rather than waiting for surgery, and recovery and doing things naturally...could take a year to get pregnant. About the twin thing...I'm okay with that, actually think it would be great. Madelyn and Parker are 14 mths apart, and are extremly tight with each other. I was always wanting 4 children. And these would be fraternal (not identical)..so they could never pull any tricks. Plus they would be treated as individuals because they won't look alike. I might even get a boy and girl. |
I am a Faternal Twin and I love it. I couldn't imagine having to look like my sister  (We always say that to each other). We look so different that some people don't even believe us when we say we are sisters let alone twins  I really liked it though. I always had a friend even though I wanted to choke her half the time |
| I'd love to hear more about being a fraternal twin. I have so much to learn before we take on the challenges. |
