It's not something any woman wants to hear, but there is always that possibility. My husband and I decided back in 2015 to have my tubal reversed and since then it hasn't been fun. We have gone through every bump we could think of, every month negative tests, some false positives, even going as far as to squint and make ourselves believe there was a slight chance. Within our first year we were heart broken with an empty womb. We decided to head back to see our fertility specialist and we left with 3 months worth of Femara. Three cycles later and nothing. Two years had gone by and still no baby. After an HSG was done we were told one tube had become blocked, but one was still open. I mean that could be good news right? Wrong. We then were told by the same fertility specialist that I was not ovulating, which sent me into a serious downward spiral of depression, weight gain and complete negativity. At this point I just gave up, didn't care. Fast forward three years to 2018. We started researching new specialists for a 2nd opinion. We found one and ended up traveling from Iowa to Kansas to see this doctor. My heart sank as the news was blasted that tubal reversals are dying out because they just aren't working. A low percentage of women have had luck, but a higher percentage have not. This doctor actually refuses to even perform the procedure. Naturally, we were told, that conceiving a child on our own probably would not happen, we were looking at a 5-10% chance over the next five years. I'm 32 and my husband is 40, so that hit me pretty hard. Our only option left that will truly bless us with the miracle that we want is <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. So, this month we will travel back to Kansas for testing to see where my ovaries are in health, if I have enough eggs developing still, go through a ton of lab work and of course my husband will have another seven analysis done. After going through hell and back the past three years, we finally found someone who cared enough to help us with our infertility. I even went as far as to quit smoking, lose weight, managed my depression better. Even losing 23 lbs didn't seem to work, so I knew naturally conceiving wasn't going to work. I'm sorry for such a long post but I haven't been on here for a while, and wanted to share our crazy journey. Thanks for bearing with me through this..hopefully it wasnt too boring!
