Hi Rita, and everyone reading,

I am back after a great weekend. We had a beautiful and SUNNY weekend, so I tried to go out and walk a lot. My chest hurt a lot and it was hard to take a deep breath, so I called my doctor, but it was just Co2 which they try to get all out but I guess couple molecules ...

Hi Back,

I am still recovering and hope I will be better SOON, since this sucks...but at least I am not in too much pain. :shock:

We had a beautiful day which was great and I made it out for couple minutes.
:D

I have my post op next thursday and then we will see, the doctor said we might not ...

Dearest Rita and all of you out there thinking of me,

So here I am. Back to all of you. I had my operation yesterday, and as we all expected my tubes were so badly damaged, they are out.

I felt pretty bad yesterday, esp. the anesthesia was the worst to wake up from. My best friend with her baby ...

Dearest Rita,

Thank you for remembering, you make me belive in people again. As painful as this situation is, it made me realize how much of a difference people make. In a good and bad way. I am amazed how communication is so essential in our lives, and it keeps uz going. Support comes from all ...

Hi Rita,

You are being a wonderful friend, since it hurts watching someone go through a painful experience or watch them postpone the suffering, but we cope on our own terms... My best friend is here in states which I feel so blessed about, and we juyst comtinue SHARE our lives together, we don;t ...

Thank you little P.

You are wonderful and I enjoy you making sure people are welcomed to the site, and when they need some quidence, you are there for them.

how are things for you?

I have 2 nights before my operation and part of me wants it over and part of me is still waiting for some miracle ...

Dear Rita,

I can toitaly relate to traying to stay busy, so that you get some time off of all your emotions and thoughts just racing through your head, some positive some negative and it's exhausting to just trying to keep up with your own head.

I have to say this site, and talking to you, have ...

Thank you Julia,

I appreciate you responce. My operation is supposed to be laparoscopic so may be less "cutting", but I am still scared. I wish to have it behind me, since it's been diffucult to sleep lately....But one more step closer to starting IVF - I guess...

Take good care,

Andrea

Dear Rita,

Thank you for your wonderful compliment, and yes I believe that for moments we all believe there is a baby in our lives. We have to, to dream, to believ to have hope, since the other side is very EMPTY.

I have no idea what it must be like facing what you are facing, all I know that you ...

Thanks Julia,

you are right. People going through what we are going through are giving unimaginable support because they say and not say what they like or dislike to be said to them.

Not one person going through IVF is going to tell you" but hey - you can always adopt" since they know what it ...

Dearest Rita,

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. We both are a problem, and both a reason for IVF, so in a way, I have to admit it's easier since I don't feel guilty to put my husband thorugh this, nor does he for putting me trough it.
It will be a bit harder with tubes out, since he will ...

Thank you Taylor,

I know things could be much worse, and for now within the IVF I still have a lot of hope. I am very sorry to hear that you need donor egg, and honestly that I am thinking of paying back my "fortune" - if we have succesfull IVF by donating my eggs. The reality we don't know whether ...

Thank you Julia,

I really appreciate your message. Gives me a lot of hope right now. How did you feel after the first attempt? How did you feel after the tubes were out?

And yes my doctor is great. Dr. Ory who was a head of Mayo clinic for 10 years. It's very hard for me though since I feel they ...

Hi there,

I am 27 with blocked tubes. We were "lucky" since I had a wonderful doctor who didn't believe in trying for years before he would run all the tests. Sooner than we thought we knew our only option is IVF, but now I am facing an operation where they want to take the tubes out to not lower ...
