Why is it that I cant think totally positive in regards to my TR?
I have my TR coming up in less than 8 days, and I seem to be doing more worrying than anything else. Im totally excited, dont get me wrong. But Im more worried, I guess because of my cycles being so irregular. I do know I ovulated this past cycle with my BBT and my slight change in CM on cd9-cd14, but it was so early on and I got my menses on the cd23...so that seems to be dead on right. Im in shock I got my cycle early as I expected it to come at a later date as usual. For over a year Ive been getting it between 5 weeks and as late as 13 weeks.Im so overly cautious, supersticious...everything...LOL I think im driving my DH away, hes gotten upset with me cus Im touchy, happy,sad, overly worried etc. I so bad want a baby with him, and to invest such monies for a chance it might not work scares me to death! I know, the more I worry the more it will delay and mess up my cycle and I just dont know what to do to get over it. Well Im done with my rant and, I want you all to know Im not asking for pitty, Im just wondering if anyone else has went threw this same feeling as myself?

Re: Why is it that I cant think totally positive in regards to my TR?
I will say that actually, at the time of my reversal surgery, as i stated in the other post, i had my period, and thinking back, it was a few days early, lol.
so maybe upcoming surgery does change our bio-pattern a bit.
Worrying is natural.
And yes, there is the worry about spending the money for sumthing that may not happen.
TR surgery does not guarantee pregnancy.
Even in a woman with perfect cycles, there can be problems. Sometimes the egg just cant make it down the tube after surgery because the surgery removes many important hairs that 'swoosh' the egg down the tubes.. maybe the remaining lengths will be scarred, maybe ,maybe ,maybe....
No guarantees.
Thousands of women spend tens of thousands of dollars each on IVF knowing there is a less than 50% chance it will work....
Point being...... there is no point dwelling on what might not be.
We all know when we go under the knife that we are taking a gamble.
Just accept, it, take a deep breath, relax, and know that whatever is meant to be will be.
The worry will just make recovery harder.
Take comfort in knowing you are doing your best to return yourself to fertility... thats all you can do.
Some ladies here are still waiting for their TR baby.... some got preggers right away.
Hang in there.

Re: Why is it that I cant think totally positive in regards to my TR?
Thanks.
Oh you got it a few days early, guess like myself then huh..LOL
I am gonna hang in there, and I know theres no guarantee, but my DH seems to think I only think negative and is upset at the fact. I want a baby so bad, so does he. But I will let it happen when it happens...If it doesnt, I know I have been blessed with the 4 I have right now. But the what ifs still remain in my mind tho, and probably always will..LOL Im a worrywart, and im shocked im not bald by now with the amount of stress I cause myself.

Re: Why is it that I cant think totally positive in regards to my TR?
I hear ya hun, i was the same way before mine. My period actually came late and i ended up having it for my surgery as well. Its been a few months and had haven't had luck but finding this message board has helped give me hope and patience that it will happen. Just try to relax and think positive. I'm the same way with wanting a baby so bad and the ache is awfull and no matter what anyone says it don't help but know you have support. Wish ya the very best and praying for ya!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Why is it that I cant think totally positive in regards to my TR?
When my dh had his VR I was extremely negative. I was constantly worrying. About it not working, about spending the money for nothing etc... I think paret of it was a way subconsiously to keep myself from getting my hopes up too much. It is very common & ok to be worried tho hun. I am so excited for you to start TTC>
Re: Why is it that I cant think totally positive in regards to my TR?
Im very excited to start to TTC..I keep not wanting to keep my hopes up, but Im at this point right now of where I want to buy baby things,and gosh, its so hard to not buy for some reason. So I take it to an advantage, I have a couple friends with babies, so I get them stuff...They keep getting mad at me to stop getting them stuff..LOL I say, NO, I want to cus I cant just yet and I have this baby itch and I have to satisfy that itch and take the stuff and be happy LOL . Today I had my last appointment befor my surgery, and man it feels good. Im on cd2 of my menstruation, so hoping by mid July I will have a BFP at the soonest.

Re: Why is it that I cant think totally positive in regards to my TR?
It's normal to worry about all the "what if 's" I don't know if I can even have my surgery yet and I am already worrying about the "what if 's". I am trying to relax,and keep in mind if it's meant to happen then it will. I know it's not easy,but worrying really does not help. hang in there!
