Am I in the right place?
Hi everyone I'm new to the group and looked through some of the posts and it seems that almost every post has to do with IVF so I'm not sure if my situation is categorized as assisted fertility. Let me explain...
I have 5 children (4 girls and 1 boy)they were all conceived naturally without even trying. My oldest is almost 19, my youngest is almost 9. I had my tubes tied after my youngest. A couple of years ago, my husband and I decided that we wanted a baby. We originally wanted to do tubal reversal surgery but were talked into trying IVF by a fertility specialist. So we did IVF, got pregnant and miscarried last October. It was expensive ($30k), very time consuming and the medications were overwhelming for me. The whole experience left me feeling raped financially and emotionally. Spending another $30k was out of the question. So we decided to go back to our original plan- tubal reversal surgery. Before having IVF I had done some research on tubal reversal surgery, but I began really researching after IVF. I had my tubal reversal June 23rd 2017 and was instructed to wait at least 8 weeks before ttc. Scar tissue around the Fallopian tubes or tubes getting blocked after tubal reversal is a concern for women who have had the surgery. I began taking Serrapeptase after surgery. My surgeon advised me to have an HSG (X-ray & dye test to check if Fallopian tubes are open) after ttc for 6 months. So that's my journey. Is this the correct group?
