Hi Terri,

I totally understand not wanting to talk about the ligation just yet. When

you feel up to it then you and your dh can talk. I am glad that your

remaining focued and trying to stay +. I know it is soooo hard but it is

gonna be all worth it. You take care and take it easy. I will talk to you

later.

(((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))

Love

, R and Sheila - thanks so much for thinking

of me. I had my laparoscopy yesterday and the only

thing I know is that my dr. ligated both of my

fallopian tubes. I told my husband I did not want to

talk about it yesterday so I will get the details

later. I'm still pretty sore and uncomfortable but

hopefully will bounce back quickly. I'm trying to

stay positive but am starting to develop a severe

distaste for medical procedures and can't even think

about ivf right now.

To all the new members - welcome, and I'm so sorry you

have the need to be here. I hope you find this group

helpful. I was treated with methotrexate in 2/01 for

an ep and had an hsg 9/01 which showed the ep tube

open (but abnormal) and the other tube blocked. I

have been planning on ivf this Jan. but am not feeling

anxious to have any more medical procedures at the

moment. I wish all of you strength in getting through

this ordeal, and luck for the future.

Terri,

I am glad your test is over and I hope all is ok. When you are up to it,

let us know the results. I don't blame you for disliking medical procedures

Thanks for sticking up for me.... it's nice to have people who care and

support me, especially when my own family doesn't.

Feel better!

The results were that both of my fallopian tubes

were in horrible shape. The right one (the ep side

that appeared 'normal' on the hsg) - only had a little

sliver of an opening but was full of scar tissue and

adhesions. The left, blocked side looked about the

same. He ligated both of them. Everything else was

normal. I find it amazing that I got pregnant with my

ep the first month I ttc. Guess that opening was big

enough for sperm to get through easily.

I'm still pretty sore and uncomfortable....but I

always seem to have a harder time than anyone else.

My hsg was excruciating...maybe I'm just a big wimp??

Anyway, do you guys think it's horrible that I am

avoiding my inlaws for the holidays? The reason is

that my brother in law and his girlfriend are living

there..they have a 1 yr. old and another on the way

but neither of them are able to support themselves,

let alone a child. They are very unstable and

irresponsible and I just can't stand being around them

right now, with all this stuff going on with me.

Plus, they all smoke like fiends and I can't stand it.

Well, hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend.

Terri,

I am sorry that your tubes are in bad shape. I am praying for you....

first you are NOT a wimp! I always seem to have a hard time of it too

physically.

Second, I think you need to take care of you and dh and if seeing your

in-laws will upset you, then do NOT go. There is NO need to torture

yourself. If they can't understand then it is THEIR problem not yours. I

learned a long time ago, YOU have to take care of YOU, no one else can or

will.....

I am thinking of you and praying,

Terri,

I agree with , if going to your in laws and seeing those irresposible

children playing at being grown up, is too much then dont go, and no it isnt

terrible to be avoiding them you need to take care of yourself first and

foremost!!!

As for being a wimp I think NOT!!! Look at what you have had to go through!!!

And my hsg was awful also!!! I had such awful cramps afterward that my dh and I

had to stop the car because I couldnt sit it hurt too much!! I dont even want

to go into the actual procedure!!! Im sure yours was similar by the sounds of

it!! so NO I do NOT think you are a wimp!!! I am terribly sorry that your tubes

were in such bad shape and had to be ligated....but the plus side is you cant

have another ep right? and ivf is available right? I will be honest I have no

idea what you plan to do but whatever it may be I am here for you!!!!! Talk to

me sister!!! Im listening!!!

Take care! Love ya

Terri,

What do you mean when you say that the doctor " ligated " both of your tubes? I

am still trying to learn all of this terminology...

Terri, I hope and pray you are feeling better. I know you have been through so

much and it is very unfair. You just take your time and you know you aren't

alone. Post whenever you feel like it. {{{{{{{BIG HUG}}}}}} M

Hi Terri,

Just wondering how your feeling? I hope ok. I don't think your bad for

wanting to avoid your in-laws on the holidays. That just kills me when a

couple has kids and they can't afford them and don't have a pot to piss in or

a window to throw it out of and they just keep having baby upon baby. A

couple of my dh's sisters are like that and truth be told my niece is the

same way they think pregnancy is a game. But one of these days we are all

gonna have kids and we are all gonna make excellent mothers. Please take

care.

Love,

Sheila

[Guest guest]

Terr,

Hey honey, first off I am sorry you are still very uncomfortable but I seriously

doubt you are any bigger wimp than I am.....I hate pain and don't deal with it

very well. Everyone just seems to take their own time healing, you know,

everyone is different. Besides, you emotional have been through alot too. As

for not wanting to go to the inlaws, well, from the pic you describe, I don't

blame you at all. It can be hard to deal with others who have children and/or a

baby on the way, no matter what the circumstances are. I know both of Don's

cousins wives were pg when I lost mine and one of isn't so stable either and I

couldn't help resent them some. I just couldn't help it. Even the other couple,

who seems to have to together and are really nice, I couldn't even bring myself

to talk to them for a long time. I don't blame you at all. Don't be so hard

on yourself.
