Tubal Reversal and TTC for 3 years. Only one tube!
Hello everyone. I'm looking for someone to join me in my journey as it has been a long and painful one!! I had a tubal reversal in January 2006. I was told that both my tubes were short being only 3cm left and right. I had an HSG in March and July 2006. I was told that my left tube was blocked and right was open. I got a BFP the next cycle after the HSG in July on August 25, 2006. Sadly I had ovulated from my left side that was blocked and it was ectopic. I opted to have the pregnancy and my left tube removed since I had been told it was blocked. We have been trying ever since with no luck. I've done clomid many times from 06-07. I then did another HSG in August 07 and then decided since my tube still showed open to just try naturally until now. I just had yet another HSG on July 20, 2009. I was told that my left was closed (of course) since I had the surgery and then he said that my left did not flow either! I asked how can that be? He said sometimes they just get blocked..... I then begged him to do the HSG again while I was there. He said that he would try again. This time he got the tube to flow. I'm not sure if it was blocked and he unblocked it or if he just did it wrong. I am now on CD 12 and will go in for a trigger shot today at 4pm. I had a sono on CD 10 and was told that I had three follies on my right. One 18 and two 15's. My lining was only 5 though so the nurse wanted to give it time to thicken. I am hoping that with the HSG, the clomid and the trigger we are successful this cycle! Thanks for listening to my story!!

Trying.. OMG I can so relate to u hun. I had a TR back in Oct07. I had a HSG done in May08 and I just had an ectopic on 6/30 and then lost my right tube on 7/16. I have done 3 IUI's which have all failed. I got preggo on my own this time which saddly ended to fast.
If u had the HCG trigger shot then an OPK will not work since u have the pregnancy hormone in ur system.
I hope that this works for u. Plz keep me posted and email if u ever want to talk.

Hello Katie!! I was beginning to have my feelings hurt because no one responded to me! Thank you for your reply!! I am sorry about your ectopic. I know first hand how painful it is and also how it messes with your head emotionally. It's been almost three years for me and I still think about it. My remaining tube is very short at 3cm so I don't know if that's why i can't get pregnant or if it's because I'm almost 40! I'm really trying to stay positive about this cycle. My Dr. is really supportive and says that if I don't get a BFP this cycle they are going to repeat my HSG next cycle. I am having the worst O pains this morning. It's been 37 hours since my shot so I guess I'm definitely O'ing as I type! I can feel the pains on BOTH sides so hopefully i'm releasing all of my eggs and at least ONE of them gets caught! Please keep in touch and take the time to grieve and take care of you! Again I am sorry for your ectopic. By the way.. what size is your remaning tube Katie?
Trying.. Thanks hun and I hope that u get one of those eggies fertilized =)
My tubes were 6 and 7 inches long after the TR so I had a good amount but still had the ectopic. I even had a HSG done be4 I got preggo and the RE said that everything was good and normal but I assume since the TR it was still alittle messed up. Any surgery to ur tubes can cause an ectopic.
Im hoping that I O from the left side but in 20 months I have seen that I O from the right side. So heres to hoping that I O from the left side soon.
Im glad that ur RE is so nice. Mine wasnt very nice at all and did things that eh shouldnt have.So Im on my own when it comes to fertility right now. He is the only one close to me.
Good luck and lods of babydust!

That's crazy Katie. I O from side to side each month! I was being monitored for a LONG time and it always alternated. I must admit after my last HSG I'm kinda worried about my remaining tube. I'd rather not get PG again than get another EP. My heart can't take another one of those. I hope you O from your left side soon too! Good luck to you too and babydust back atcha!!!
Tryingfor6.. I understand ur pain and worry about having another EP. I worries my DH and I so much esp since the % is higher now. R u having another HSG done anytime?
I hope that my body takes over naturally and O from the left side. If not then I will never get preggo. ONly by IVF which we will do in 2011.
SO how r u? Whats going on?

After reading your story I'm glad I opted to skip the reversal and go straight for the IVF. I had an ectopic even before I had my tubal. That was 18 years ago, since then I have had 2 babies. One is now 17 and one is 14. However, you never know when you decide to have a tubal what life will bring. The kids dad and I divorced, and I found the man of my dreams. He doesn't have any children, and I would love to have a baby with him. He is a wonderful step dad.
We went to the RE to see about a reversal, and the RE talked me out of it. So, we opted for IVF. Although that didn't go so well on our first cycle, they cancelled it due to lack of follicles. So, we're on cycle number 2.
I'm extremely sorry for the pain you have had to undergo, and I am going to keep you in my prayers. Keep your head up, what's meant to be is what will happen!
Lots of Babydust!
