Yeah, just in shock. As is DF.

Silly DF asked if it can still get donw(tubal ligation) while you are pregnant.

But naive of him to think that. I was like, no, there's a baby in there

Golly all that would make you loopy.
My DH is going to go see what he needs to do to get a vasectomy, we figure it'll be far less waiting time (if any?), and he has a "free" one as a long-term member benefit of being with Southern Cross for health insurance.
It's also a far simpler procedure for him than a tube tie for me. A few guys we know have had it done on a Friday afternoon and been fine for work on Monday, it's only local anaesthetic.]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2012 11:40:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5819738&title=tubal-ligation#5819738 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : talk about making you loopy!

So, I had the chance to get it done this month, but couldn't, as DF couldn't get that date off. So it's booked for 11th December.

Had the pre-assessment yesterday.

Kind of freaked out about it, now I know it's really supposed to be happening. As before I had that consult with the gynecologist I was not too worried. But when they explain to you what could go wrong, you get a little bit more anxious about it.

The phrase, "ignorance is bliss" sprung to mind.

But hmm. Will it actually happen? As DF decided to stop using condoms this month. As he thinks he's not that fertile, due to when we were TTC Annabelle, he got his sperm count tested and it was low. Yet it still only took 3-4 months to conceive, so clearly he's not that low in fertility. And I explained to him that, actually most healthy, fertile couples can take 6-12 months to conceive, so 3-4 months isn't long to achieve getting UTD.

Don't know what he was thinking. He's clearly being naive thinking, oh just 1 month before operation should be safe. Thinking there's no way I'll get pregnant.

It's weird. I was so anti having anymore babies and was totally solid with my decision, but since the letdown a few months ago, I have found myself second guessing my decision.

Plus, it so doesn't help that my sister is UTD and a few friends and other friends have cute little babies. Not helping at all!

DF he said he doesn't want anymore, because we can't afford it. When I discussed with him again a few months back. Yet, well, he's not exactly taken precautions this month either.

I guess we will see in a few weeks if the operation is happening or not.]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2012 18:34:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5819708&title=tubal-ligation#5819708 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : Oh believe me I was very pissed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5813964&title=tubal-ligation#5813964 Author: escadachic

Oh believe me I was very pissed off!

I'm sure I will get over my annoyance. But the Jadelle just isn't gelling well with me.

I mean, damn, my AF originally when I got it put it was every 3 wks and then every 10 days and then my last 2 cycles were normal and then 4 days after my last AF, AF came back 4 days later and is still here!

I wish I could just have the IUD, but I can't. I have had it in before and it was inserted correctly, as they checked and I got pains just sitting on the toilet and every time I'd had sex, it would be like being stabbed in the cervix with a knife and I bled the whole time I have the IUD in, which was for 3 months straight!

Yeah, I think when I add up the referral for Tubal Ligation + when I got the letter + when I had this appointment and add an extra 4-6 months, that would be getting near 2 yrs.

So I have been to my consultation.

They talked to me about the procedure and have approved it. And told me what to expect afterwards and what happens during the procedure.

So I of course asked what the waiting time would be til my operation.

...the answer, left my less then impressed...

4-6 months!!!

So yeah, not impressed. I feel very disappointed and let down.

All because a stupid booking person can't communicate what the appointment was actually for! Grr!

Stupid letter only said who the appointment is with. Didn't say anything about assessment or procedure. Just that it's in Outpatients clinic and with a Gynecologist.

It was the booking lady who told me back in July that I was booking for procedure.

I rang up this morning and turns out today is not even an assessment. It's a consultation to talk about operation

So yeah, turns out, who knows when I am getting my operation.

I was so looking forward to it being done and moving on and being contraception free.

usually you get an appt in a clinic at the hospital & then if everything is ok they will put you on a wait list to be booked in. Have you had this yet?

On you letter it should say if it is for a procedure or assessment.

I was talking to my friend who is a nurse at public hospitals and it turns out this appointment is likely a pre-assessment.

So I am rather mad right now to be honest

Though I am glad I talked to my friend tonight. Or I would have been extremely upset and angry tomorrow, when I went to this appointment and found out it's only an assessment.

I was thinking it was kind of strange I'd had no pre-assessment. And was even expecting another letter with some pre-assessment appointment.

Confusion came in, because the booking lady, who booked this appointment said "out of these dates *insert dates* which would suit you for your procedure?" So all this time, once I got the letter, I am thinking ok, this is 'the date' and yeah, the discussion with my friend would point to otherwise.

I will ring tomorrow morning to be sure it's an assessment. But seems like it is.

Just super annoyed as DF has taken 4 days off for nothing potentially and now I don't even know when I am getting the procedure done.

I will be complaining about this stuff up that's for sure.

That crap I have been going through leading up to this so called day, has not been fun. Anxiety, nerves, emotions.

Anyway, will update tomorrow. And hopefully tomorrow I will have an idea when this will get done.

Kind of annoyed about still having to keep Jadelle implant in.

Oh and yes, it is getting done Public.]]> Mon, 17 Sep 2012 23:31:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5813822&title=tubal-ligation#5813822 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : I guess you're getting it...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5813817&title=tubal-ligation#5813817 Author: AandCsmum

So you couldn't drive for 6 weeks and probably on alot of pain killers for a few days, and no walking or lifting as much as possible in the first few weeks? Could be wrong but I thought thats what I was told when I had my c sections and it was discussed.

When they do them at the same time as c/sect if requested/required the recovery time of 6 weeks is really for the c/sect.

Like any surgery the body needs time to recover & everyone can react differently to anaesthetics, I vomit in recovery all the time.

Driving is also for car insurance purposes as I was told with my c/sects I was not covered if driving after one for a certain amount of time.

The main reason a hospital wants you to be picked up by someone that can look after you is if you have a problem then someone is there for you. You can sign yourself out of hospital at any time & jump on a bus they wont stop you but they need to advise you of any potential problems to cover them, it is just standard procedure.

I don't know about the actual procedure, but I know that when I have had a general anaesthetic, I am in no fit state to be making my own decisions that day - including making sure I have taken the right bus, or telling the taxi driver where I lived, let alone actually getting in the taxi LOL I also couldn't stay awake, felt quite ill and I personally get low blood pressure from a general.

It depends on the technique being used I think. When mum had hers done she just had two small incisions, one on her side-ish, the other in her belly button. She said recovery was way quicker than her c-sects.
I remember her coming home after surgery (I was 15-16) and she was completely out of it, zombie, pretty much slept for 2-3 days. She's never done well with general anaesthetics though. They make me puffy and drooly, not attractive, lol.
The last one I had I reacted to the tape they'd used on my eyelids and my eyelids were all swollen and itchy, watery, drove me bonkers. The one before that they'd scratched up my throat while intubating (?) me and I kept coughing/gagging on blood afterwards.

Anyway, can your OH catch the bus in and then go home with you in the taxi? Some hospitals have shuttles too.

I'd ring up and explain your situation, you never know they may have a better alternative or be able to help with a taxi chit or something.]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 23:24:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804300&title=tubal-ligation#5804300 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : From what I know from talking...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804299&title=tubal-ligation#5804299 Author: escadachic

From what I know from talking to my only friend who has had it done, I think driving is out for a few days and walking a significant amount is too. Apparently it's not quite as major as a c-section, as it's done via key-hole surgery. But it is a significant surgery, so there is a recovery time.

Yeah, I'm guessing they will contact me at some point for a pre-surgery assessment. So I'll be able to find out if a taxi is an option. I'll be getting DF to take the week off anyway, as a precaution. So I will definitely have someone there at home.]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 23:18:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804299&title=tubal-ligation#5804299 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : Isn't it basically like a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804292&title=tubal-ligation#5804292 Author: Nikki

So you couldn't drive for 6 weeks and probably on alot of pain killers for a few days, and no walking or lifting as much as possible in the first few weeks? Could be wrong but I thought thats what I was told when I had my c sections and it was discussed. ]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 21:42:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804292&title=tubal-ligation#5804292 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : it is more about having someone...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804289&title=tubal-ligation#5804289 Author: Redbedrock

it is more about having someone stay with you overnight and not getting home on the bus or driving your self that is the issue post general anaesthetic. Are yuou having a pre assessment, you shoud talk to the nurses there about it and they will adivse you, I know them they are very good]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 21:33:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804289&title=tubal-ligation#5804289 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : Maybe I should get some quotes...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804233&title=tubal-ligation#5804233 Author: escadachic

That would be fine. Hospitals know not everyone has transport or can drive in. I would just tell them if they ask you. You may have to sign a discharge form. ]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 15:02:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804232&title=tubal-ligation#5804232 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : DF can't pick me up, as he's...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804231&title=tubal-ligation#5804231 Author: escadachic

DF can't pick me up, as he's still on his Learners.

But he would be at home to look after me. So I wonder if they are ok with that.]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 14:57:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804231&title=tubal-ligation#5804231 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : Have you been advised of a time...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804228&title=tubal-ligation#5804228 Author: jazzy

Have you been advised of a time & date & how long you will be in for?

You could get the bus in if you have the time & then get DF to pick you up if possible.

The reason why the hospital wants you picked up by someone is so there is someone to look after you if need be. If you don't need someone looking after you then get a taxi home I would not suggest walking.

Best check with the hospital doing it as they all have different policies. Not all cancel procedures if the patient is not being picked up by someone know or going in a taxi.]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 14:20:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804228&title=tubal-ligation#5804228 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : are they really that fussy?

are they really that fussy?

I would've thought, as long as they know you are being driven to your home, it'd be ok. I guess I'll have to call and ask then.]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 13:50:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804224&title=tubal-ligation#5804224 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : I think you should talk to the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804219&title=tubal-ligation#5804219 Author: sbeach

Ok, so I'm figuring I should factor a taxi fare into my budget that week.

Good to know.

If you are having a general anaesthetic then a hospital would be unlikely to discharge you without an adult present to take you home. I previously worked at Wellington hospital's day surgery unit and if a person undergoing a general anaesthetic didn't have someone to pick them up then the surgery would be cancelled. Just something to keep in mind.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2012 15:19:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804165&title=tubal-ligation#5804165 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : I think how each person reacts...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804160&title=tubal-ligation#5804160 Author: tictacjunkie

I think how each person reacts to the anaesthetic is really variable, some people are ok after a few hours, others it takes a couple of days, but no, I wouldn't think you'd be ok to walk any distance that day.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:38:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804160&title=tubal-ligation#5804160 <![CDATA[Tubal Ligation : I'm just wondering, for those...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804144&title=tubal-ligation#5804144 Author: escadachic

I'm just wondering, for those of you who have had this procedure done, what was the recovery like?

Did you have any complications?

I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect. So I can suss how long I should ask DF to get time off for and whether I should try organize transport there and back and such. I know I can't drive. But wondering, would I still be ok enough to walk up the hill home if I catch a bus.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2012 12:01:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42259&PID=5804144&title=tubal-ligation#5804144
