Setting TR Date

Hello Everyone!!

I'm new to this group and I have to say that I really like what I

have seen. I've kind of been reading and watching other groups/clubs

and they do not measure up to this one.

A little history on me, although, it's very much like everyone

elses. I had my tubal ligation at the age of 22, thinking that that

marriage would last forever. Of course it didn't. My kids are now 16

& 11 and have a wonderful husband, who has no biological kids of his

own. We have been trying to have a baby for the past year and a

half. At the urging of an RE(Reproductive Endocrinologist) we tried

IVF and subsequently an FET, which both failed. I guess the only

thing we lost there was time because my insurance paid for that. Now

we want to try doing the TR. I was lucky enough to come across Dr.

Levin's website and was totally impressed with it. I had been

researching TR's for a while and nothing hit me like his website. So

here we are now, waiting to do a 2nd mortgage on our home to

consolidate our bills and get the cash for the TR. We'll be closing

this mortgage by the end of this week and hope to set a date for the

TR with in the next couple of weeks.

Anyone out there that would be able & willing to buddy up with me,

please let me know. My email is renadi4@....

Sorry to be so wordy.

In advance, I thank you all for your support and kind words and of

course Dr. Levin for his outstanding and wonderful professionalism.

Hello ,

Of course I remember you. I kept track of your dates and prayed for

you the day of your reversal. I was a lurker on the other site, then

I came across this one and I really like it.

If you remember my DH & I were having a hard time with the failed IVF

& all so we got to talking and worked our feelings through so we are

back on track. I really WANT this baby for the both of us. Now I

can say I really am ready for one. I was only 17 when I had my son

and was kind of thrown into it but NOW I want this one for my and DH

just as much as for myself.

Glad to have a friend(s) here!!

Can someone shed some light on the " BUDDY " list? I want to schedule

mine for ASAP. I was told that you have to be on the BUDDY LIST

before you're given any credit.

Who has this list? Is it posted somewhere? Who do we " talk " , " email "

to, to see this list? Is there a link to it?

I'm sending in my $$ tomorrow and would really appreciate the

information on how this works.

Thanks,

be going alone, DH can't take time off till the end of the summer and

Elda, sorry to butt in, but we took 200 minute calling cards, and used them up

from calling everyone, so take lots!! We left that Thursday following the

surgery on Monday, and we drove 800+ miles, and I was fine, so I think you will

be just great!

Best wishes to you and your soon to be restored fertility!!!

Hello Cynarra!

Thanks for the advice. The calling card idea is a great one!!! I'll

definitely take one with lots of minutes LOL.

How long did you stay after surgery? I'm planning on flying back the

18th which is 2 days post op. Should be ok? I'm glad to hear I'm

not the only one that has gone alone.

Hugs,

I know!! I am so excited for you!!! I remember the 2 weeks before we left for

Louisville, every day was at least a year long - LOL! Hang in there and we

can't wait to hear your outcomes!!

By the way, you can go to the Louisville library to post if you want - I did

every day after the tr until we left. If you are up to it, that is!! They have

Internet access there. We took the laptop, but the darn plug was broken and

would connect for all of 2 minutes and slip out, so we had to go to the library.

It is only a couple of miles from the hotel, just down from the Galleria. I

can't remember the name of the street, but Dr. Levin can give you directions.

Also, you may need Wal Mart while you are there for some stuff - it is over the

bridge off of I-65 in Indiana (about 6 minutes away), and I swear we made the

trip there at least 6-7 times! LOL! Also, you will have gas pains

afterwards...pack some Phazyme - it is wonderful, and don't go out and try to

eat Mexican food the following day like I did! My gas pains were so bad I was

doubled over and finally had to call Dr. Levin, who told me that even though I

hated the idea, and enema would help. It did, much as I hate to admit it!

Are you having inpatient or outpatient? We did inpatient, since I have a

history of uterine infections after each of my 3 c-sections. Coming from so far

away, too, we figured with the infection factor it would be safer to stay the

night. Everyone was wonderful, from checking in to being released back to the

Inn. The one nurse even came in my room at 3am, since she knew I was starving

after my surgery, to see if I wanted some ice cream! I did, too!! Either way

you go, everyone will treat you wonderfully!!

Well, best wishes to you, and I can't wait to hear how it goes!!!
