Aw, Micko. I think our bodies have been under a lot of stress and the over emotional responses are normal. Just remember you have a chance of getting pregnant that you did not have before, dont regret anything, everything is for a reason. Hang on to being positive, you are not a failure. You are a woman who has more tube and more chances to get pregnant now than you did prior to the TR, lots of baby dust to you. Hugs, Cindy

Hi everyone just thought i would chime in. My surgery was Tuesday June 2. My left tube not repairable, my right is 6.0 which had to be implanted into my uterus.Everything seem to be okay until Thursday me and hubby hit the road for the long 12 hr. drive back to MI. We stopped overnight in WV and BOOM the crying started i have been an emotional wreck ever since. I was a pill poppin mom until Friday, But Lord and behold yesterday reality hit me it just sank in that i only have one tube. I feel like a total failure,that i let my hubby and the kids down.I went to church today and cried during every scripture reading Is this normal?
My emotions were good until last night. We had a long flight home from NC to OK. We changed flights in Chicago and we had to go fromgate c to gate f. I felt good to walk, but I guess I did too much. The plane was delayed, plane problems, etc. I was still doing ok, then half way through the flight I felt sick to my stomach. Finally we landed and i still felt sick. And by then I was tired too. And frustrated from all the jostling around, then the shuttle ride out to the car was bumpy. We got home around 12:30 am. It was a long day. I was thankful we didnt travel the day before though. I still wanted to vomit, but was afraid to cause it would hurt my stomach muscles so I was trying hard not to. Had to stop and get gas, and then I was hungry but didnt wnt to eat. SO you can imagine, I proceeded to breakdown mode. Then I was upset because I wanted to call my Mom to get some heart felt sympathy, but she doesnt know about the TR. After I threw my fit I felt better though. We came home and I crashed. I feel much better today and am just taking it easy, and havent needed any pain pills so far. My husband is the emotional one today, he is stressed out. I have been the one telling him to not worry so much. He is way uptight right now. Bless his heart.
Well, I think we should all keep eachother updated on our short tube status. I am hopeful for us all. We all have a greater chance than we had before.

Hi Everyone! I'm just looking around the message board about short tubes and I landed here. I am coming for surgery on June 16th with Dr Berger. My OB/GYN removed at least 4cm of tube according to my op report so it looks as though (if I can be repaired) I'll be a short-tuber as well. Dr B recommended a screening lap, just in case. If anyone started out the same way I'd love to chat before the surgery. Good luck to everyone:)

Hi Amanda, I had my TR on January 22nd and I also have short tubes. They are both 2.5. I had my annual visit with my obgyn in April and he said that I should not worry about the eggs being able to get to where they are supposed to go with my tubes being short. He said the most important thing to do is to make sure that the tubes are open and then just start enjoying life. I think that being upset will do more harm than good because stress is bad for your whole body. Remember that there are more of us out here than you may realize so you have friends to turn to if you need them. I know that things will be ok.

Hello everyone. I got my tr on 5-28. 4everNYmom i think you was beside me in the recliner when i went in for my surgery. My tubes are 6 and 7 cm. I don't know which one is which. I am still a little bloated. The plane ride back from NC to Baltimore was bad. Bad thunderstorms in Baltimore last friday had us grounded for 5 hours.

I like your name! I have a son named Carson. He was going to be Karsen, though, if he were a girl.
You can definately get pg with short tubes...ladies do it all the time. Keep your chin up and the lability of your emotions should get better! Blessings to you!

Amanda - I was a total bawl baby that week. Not sure if there is any physiological meaning behind it, but I shed a lot of tears and I don't know why. My feet and legs were swollen too, but any water retention was gone by the following week. Good luck in your TTC journey!
