Ok, so we missed a couple of months, but hopefully we can get it back going again, So how is everyone doing? Life has been so crazy busy I haven't had time to promote this group as i wanted to, but am determine to get it back alive So if you have anyone you know who might be interested let them know our link: vasectomyreversal.proboards.com/index.cgi?

AFM, well month #13 for us I am starting to realize it just might now happen BUT DH is being wonderful and said we can do a 2nd VR early next year, so happy about that. We will go to TX and use Dr Roeder, have heard nothing but rave reviews about him!

Hope everyone is doing well!
HUGS!

Jen- what doctor did you use for the first VR? I can't remember if you have ever posted SA results. I'm glad your DH is on board with a 2nd VR. I really hope you get a BFP before that but if not hopefully you do soon after. Having a plan always help with a little of the stress.

I am moving right along with this pregnancy. We find out friday morning if our precious VR baby is a boy or girl. I think it's a boy but DH thinks it's a girl.

It would be nice if this group picked back up!

Since I was last on, we have had the VR. Dr. Wilson was wonderful, he was caring, compassionate and kind. Not anything like what you would expect from listening to the phone consult! We know it was the right choice. He saw heads and tails on both sides and gave us a 90% chance--that amazed me!

We scoped a little over 2 weeks after the surgery and were again amazed by the swimmers it was unbelievable how many there were. Scoped again ten days later and just like before only way less parts and dead ones. We have not tried again, but will likely soon.

We "tried" our first cycle after VR but likely missed my O because of it being too soon after surgery--so it was more likely practice! This is our first real TTC month and I am currently half way through my 2ww. I will be testing Sunday, July 17th which is our 13th wedding anniversary and 13DPO--13 is usually a lucky # for us!!

Of course I am having every pg symptom under the sun and driving myself crazy--oh well it would be a short trip anyway!

Wish us luck and say a little pray for us that day!

I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi everyone, just on for a minute. Our summer has fallen apart. We lost the baby 7/8/11 @ 15 wks and then 2 days later it was my birthday. I miss ""Bubsy" and feeling him/her move. I resent that I have nothing to show for her, no footprint or anything. And that so many people act like this was not my baby and my grief should be short lived.

My parents are here this week (well they have a cottage on the lake with the kids) which has helped some (though my mother does not understand my grieving so much as she never lost a baby). Trying to decide if I want to go to the family reunion in FL in 2 wks and my mom is trying to talk me into going to Israel with her but that would be right at DH's birthday, our anniversary, when we move, DD's birthday and Thanksgiving. Plus IF I am ready to TTC again that is when I would want to and she refuses to take me if I am pregnant.

Hi Gals!

Nice to see some action on this board again. I've started checking in on Babycenter a few times a week just to keep up with what I can but this summer has kept me pretty much out of the loop. The kids are home and keeping me super busy. I love my kids dearly however I will be looking forward for school to start to get some sort of a routine back!

We got our first SA early May, 37 million, 33% motlility and 100% abnormal morph. So, Dr. H still thought it was early for a SA and recommended DH get on moltility boost and fertliaid. This month marks the 70 day mark since he's been taking the supplements daily. Hopefully we see a jump in morph results in Aug for the next SA.

TTC is tricky business for sure! We are enjoying the trying part, however. This month I think I'm going to use OPK's and try to figure out exactly when it all happens. I always say I'm going to and never follow through.

Look forward to hearing everyone's updates since the last time we saw them post!

We had a three month zero SA! Trying to stay optimistic. Our 6 month SA is scheduled for 8/5/11. Saving for IVF what else can I do. I wish I had magic words, wands and easy buttons but having children truly is god's gift and a miracle. The hardest part is people know and ask. Oh well! All I can do is try and love life!

Kees, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You are in my prayers.

Thanks everyone. Each day is a little better, though I get tired of feeling like I should be over it. I just got an email that my memorial pendant is in the mail as well as DH's memorial ring. When they come I will take pictures and post them.

Hope everyone has a good weekend, we might go see Harry Potter if I am up for it, other than that no real plans. Not even sure I will be up to church this week.

[kews]

Just wanted to say hi. Today is a better day for me. My care pastor came over
(surprise visit) just to talk and pray with us. The church has offered to pay
for 3 counseling sessions for us, which I might go to just since I am having a
hard time and fear next time. He also gave us a $25 gift card to Applebee's
(YUMM) so Dh and I can have a night out. I was able to talk without bursting
into tears, though not quite ready for church or where people will ask
questions/comment.

We are doing a Harry Potter marathon today and go to see the new movie tomorrow
IF my dad can get tickets.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

HP was great but they did leave out some major parts (like Hagrid's brother). I did not think 3D was worth it, but loved it. One point made me cry cause it reminded me of the baby (in first part of movie) but now don't remember what part
