Re: Life after VV Surgery

[Guest guest]

First of all don't in any way feel like this makes you "less of a women". Having fertility problems is common, even for woman without VV. Give yourself a break! Have you gone to a infertility doc yet? What do they suggest? I got pregnant with Clomid (?sp) and art. insemination (better known as the turkey baster). When we went to adopt several years later, we were the onlt couple who had NOT tried IVF. Maybe think about how much you are willing to do to get preg. Hope this helps, Sue

Life after VV Surgery

And here is where I'm stuck. After all this work, my partner iscomplaining that the sex is awkward and not enjoyable or frequentenough. I keep telling him that him talking to me like that is notgoing to put me in the mood! He remembers to try to be encouragingonce in a while but I'm really stuck on the negative comments. I've done all this work so we can try to get pregnant but I don't feellike everything I've gone through is appreciated. I am miserable andjust beside myself. I don't know what else to do. Any comments or suggestions? Please help. Jenni :-(

Jenni,

There is a really supportive group on Yahoo called Infertility Friends

that I am a part of...we are not ttc (trying to conceive) yet but I

know when we do there will be issues because my cycles are very

irregular, so I joined the group to start getting a sense of my

options. I have learned a lot and decided that I am not interested in

pursuing fertility artificially. So going to that group may help you

know what you can do and what you are willing to do.

Thanks for your suggestions about joining the other group and couples

counselling. For now, the latter is not possible--I broached that

topic before with my husband and I don't think that's an option for

him. It was hard just getting him to submit a sperm sample for

testing! I'm getting counselling for myself.

And I think at this point, I'm willing to try artificial insemination

if the fertility drugs don't work.

For those of you who had VV surgery, I'm curious as to whether the

pain comes back or if/what type of pain you're currently experiencing.

I noticed that after surgery, there was still a little pain (not a lot

compared to what it was pre-surgery) on one particular side.
