Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 , I am so glad that Dr. Levin was able to help you. I hope that you write a letter to the " doctor " who did your original surgery and let him know the damage he has done. A lot more goes into our fertility than having tubes sewn back together. I hope that other ladies out there will read your letter. There is a good reason that other doctors are so particular about which patients they will take: They just aren't CAPABLE of caring for even slightly complicated cases. Go to someone who can do the job right the first time. Love to you all, > First I want to say how sorry I am of all the loved ones that were > lost in the attacks on our country.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 ! I am so glad you are home. It seems you've been gone for ages! =) I am doing fine also. I had my IUI on Friday afternoon. I do hope this is my month. However if it is not, i hope your cycles are still regular and we get to meet next month. I am so happy for what Dr Levin was able to do for you. I'm sure you feel alot better knowing what was in there and knowing it is fixed now. Did Dr Levin give you tube lengths or chances of conceiving? I feel confident you will conceive now real soon! Well, i am sure you will have plenty of emails to read so i will keep mine short. Good luck cycle buddy! Ps. tried to call your cell today and didn't get an answer. Wanted to see how you were. Glad you are home and doing well.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 Glad you made it home safe . Your story sounds incredible! I'm glad Dr. Levin got everything fixed up for you. It's scarey to think what might have happened to you if you hadn't had the second TR. I hope your recovery goes good. Now get some rest. Just wanted to elt you know you was truely missed here.
