Thread: ttc: quit smoking and reverse vasectomy

CD 18 WELL NOT ALOT GOING ON. THIS NEXT PART MIGHT BE TMI, BUT I LIKE TO KEEP TRACK OF THINGS THAT HAPPEN, SO I KNOW THE NEXT MONTH IF I FELT ANYTHING LIKE THIS, SO ANYWAYS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS MY NIPS HAVE BEEN SENSITIVE. THIS PROBABLY MEANS NOTHING SINCE THEY SAY YOU CANT HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS TILL YOU IMPLANT (WHICH I'M NOT SURE I TOTALLY AGREE WITH) AND I WOULDNT HAVE EVEN IMPLANTED YET. I DONT RECALL THIS EVER HAPPENING BEFORE, BUT WHO KNOWS MAYBE I JUST DIDNT PAY ATTENTION TO IT BEFORE. ITS NOT INTENSE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, JUST LIKE WHEN I'M WASHING MY BB'S IN THE SHOWER OR IF I BRUSH UP AGAINST THEM. NOTHING I'M SURE BUT I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD NOTE IT, AFTER ALL IT IS MY JOURNAL.WELL ITS TIME TO GO WORKOUT. ME AND DH STARTED THE BODY FOR LIFE PROGRAM TODAY!!

CD 25 WELL HAD A GOOD EASTER!!! I NEED TO CALL TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ANOTHER SA BUT FOR SOME REASON I KEEP PUTTING IT OFF. PROBABLY BECAUSE I KNOW THE RESULTS ARENT GONNA BE GOOD. MY NIPS ARE NO LONGER SENSITIVE. THE ONLY SYMPTOM I HAVE IS SORE BBS BUT I GET THAT EVERY MONTH, BESIDES I AM SURE THIS IS NOT THE MONTH EITHER. I AM GETTING SO DISCOURAGED. I NEED TO LEARN SOME PATIENCE, BUT I JUST WANT THIS REVERSAL TO WORK AND SO FAR ITS NOT LOOKING GOOD (OH NO, MY NORMAL PRE AF LETS FEEL SORRY FOR MICHELLE DAY)..

I FORGOT TO ADD LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING I HAD VERY LIGHT SPOTTING, ALTHOUGH I AM SURE THIS MEANS NOTHING. ONLY TIME WILL TELL!!

CD 1 NEED I SAY MORE? ANOTHER BUM MONTH. OH WELL, THERES ALWAYS NEXT TIME!! HAPPY FRIDAY!!

CD 8 NOT ALOT GOING ON. RELATIVELY CALM THIS CYCLE, I DECIDED TO NOT EVEN TRY THESE NEXT FEW CYCLES. I WOULD RATHER GO ON VACATION NOT BEING PREGNANT, ALTHOUGH I AM NOT PREVENTING IT EITHER. I'M JUST NOT OBSESSING ABOUT USING PRESEED AND MAKING SURE WE DO IT AT O TIME. ANOTHER REASON IS ME AND DH ARE DOING BODY FOR LIFE, WE ARE JUST FINISHING OUR 3RD WEEK AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO COMPLETE THE WHOLE 12 WEEKS BEFORE I GET PREGNANT(IF I EVEN CAN GET PREGNANT) 12 WEEKS PUTS US AT SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO THE MIDDLE OR END OF JUNE! SO FAR 6 POUNDS GONE, YET I'M BUILDING MUSCLE. THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM I HAVE EVER FOUND!!

CD 14 GOT A PEAK ON MY MONITOR TODAY. YEAH!! HAVE TO JUMP DH WHEN HE GETS HOME FROM WORK. I HAVE BEEN TRYING A DIFFERENT APPROACH THIS CYCLE, WE HAVENT BEEN GOING AT IT LIKE RABBITS THIS TIME, HOPEFULLY IT WILL GIVE HIS BOYS TIME TO BUILD THE COUNT BACK UP IN BETWEEN. SO FAR WE HAVE ONLY DONE IT CD 12 AND WE WILL DO IT TONIGHT. I JUST DECIDED TO TO BE SO OBSESSED. I REALLY TURN INTO THE OBSESSED FREAK ONCE THE 2WW STARTS. I THINK ONCE HIS COUNTS ARE BETTER (IF THEY EVER GET BETTER) THEN I WILL REALLY BECOME OBSESSED. BUT I KNOW RIGHT NOW WITH HIS COUNTS IT PROBABLY WONT HAPPEN UNLESS WE HAVE SOME MIRACLE BY GOD. BUT I DO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES.

CD 15 SO I JUST GOT MY PREDICTION BACK FROM CHERI. SHE SAYS THAT I WILL HAVE A GIRL (I HOPE SO, ALREADY HAVE 2 BOYS) AND SHE SAYS I WILL EITHER CONCIEVE, FIND OUT I AM PREGNANT, OR GIVE BIRTH IN JUNE. I HOPE IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST TWO CUZ IF I GIVE BIRTH IN JUNE THAT MEANS I WONT GET PREGNANT TILL SEPTEMBER. THAT STILL SEEMS SO FAR OFF, WHERE THE FIRST TWO ARENT THAT FAR AWAY. I GUESS TIME WILL TELL. SHE ALSO SAYS SHE WILL BE QUIET AND SHY AND HONEST. SHE WILL GET MARRIED AROUND AGE OF 27 AND SHE WILL HAVE 2 BOYS AND 1 GIRL OF HER OWN. SHE SEES HER BEING GOOD WITH CHILDREN AND POSSIBLELY OWNING HER OWN PRESCHOOL. IT WAS ALL VERY INTERESTING TO FIND OUT, BUT IT WAS DONE IN FUN, BUT WE WILL SEE IF SHE IS RIGHT. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Hi Michelle,

I read through your journal entries and I cant believe how much our situations have in common. We have 2 girls 7 and 5 ... DH had his reversal in November 06, so we have been TTC since december. I am in my 2ww right now but if we are unsuccessful AGAIN than we are moving on to ICI / IUI. Intracervical insemination you can do at home with a needless syringe and a catheter, not going any further than 1/4 inch into the cervix. We are going to try it next cycle. IUI is usually done in the clinic and the catheter goes further through the cervix and into the uterus, but some midwifes have been trained to do it and some doctors train the husbands as well. I think it might be worth looking into, and it takes half of the swim away from the swimmers so I thought that I would suggest it. I share your frustration and I am probably going to start a journal of my own soon.

CD 18 CURRENTLY 3 DPO!!! HI MOMOF2GIRLZ!! THIS IS SUCH A HARD PROCESS, ISNT IT? i HAD NEVER HEARD OF INTRACERVICAL INSEMINATION, ONLY IUI'S. WEREDO YOU GET THE SYRINGE AND CATHETER? DOES SOMEBODY TRAIN YOU OR ARE YOU JUST TAKINGA STAB AT IT ON YOUR OWN? WE ARE PRETTY CLOSE ONOUR CYCLES!! HERES SOME BABY DUST!!!

Hi, yes we are close on our cycles I am cd 17 and 3DPO . It is a hard process, yes we are just trying it on our own, instructions are very easy. You can buy insemination kits online actually. The one I bought I got off of ebay and its all sterile and each is sealed the sellers name is "drzdlinc" and they have a fertility ebay store. P.S. I have been using your tip about keeping hubby stimulated for a while first, has been making ttc less of a chore and more fun. ~~Sending baby dust your way ~~~
