Tubal reversal
Our journey to have children began on July 7,2004 . I had a tubal reversal.I was 36 at the time and we both thought this was going to be easy. We thought we would have the surgery and be pregnant soon after. After four months of trying we still didn’t get pregnant. We had post-coital test done and we were told that everything was ok. So we decided in December of 2004 to have an HSG to determine if my tubes were open. We got disappointing news . We were told that one tube was open and one was blocked. But we still had hope that we would get pregnant one day with the open tube. After several more months of disappointment we decided to try the fertility drug Clomid. I took it for several months and still no positive pregnancy test. We then resorted to IUI and more fertility drugs. But still after two IUI’s and hundreds of dollars later we were still NOT pregnant. We were getting very frustrated . People kept telling us to stop trying and it would happen. But it didn’t. So we then tried a drug called Femara. Which still gave us no pregnancy. After a year and a half of trying the two different fertility medications we were no closer to having a baby. But we were determined that one day we would have a child together.
