		<description>I am very excited for you guys!!!I hope ours is as good. Ian&#039;s reversal went ok but the dr. said it was the worst vasectomy he has ever seen.  Ian had been cut so badly he could hardly find anything, but he did nand he thinks we stand a 40% chance.  we still have 2 to 5 months to wait for a sperm test.  Good luck guy.  I&#039;m thinking of you.</description>

		<description>Hey thanks for your supportive comments. We actually had the procedure done by a doctor in Hamilton who works by donation. So we are able to pay him off. Not sure the outcome yet but fingers crossed! Lovely to hear some supportive people out there. The doctor has a practice called The Family Clinic :)</description>

		<description>I had a reversal done today at a cost of $4200, the cost is not important when you have a shared dream. I hope you both achieve yours</description>

		<description>Hi guys
Look I don&#039;t even know if you still look at this site or not.  I am not here to slam you I just wanted to wish you luck in your quest for your baby, my husband had a vesectomy 13 years ago just 5 months before we meet I was only 18 (he is 14 yrs older than I am)and faced a life without children.  We have been throu IVF and now have two wonderful children 2 and 1/2 yr old girl and 10 mth old boy that I am so proud of but like you I feel like my family isn&#039;t complete and would love another child, We unfortunately had some bad news and our last embryo died over labour weekend and we would not be able to have anymore children that way.  It was a very sad time, however my husband has agreed to undergo a ves reversal and this is now happening this Friday! We do not have a lot of money and I am a full time mum and my husband works as much overtime as he can, and we have maxed our credit card to have the surgey. I am not saying you should do the same I just wanted you to know our story and wish you all the best. We found a very good Dr. here in Hamilton that does the surgey for $4200 + $120 for the first consult.
To all the negitive readers yes I know there are people that can&#039;t have any children at all I have a very close friend in that situation and I see the pain on her face everytime she gives my children a cuddle and I was also facing the same for many years I also have female medical problems and yes I know people say we should be happy and greatful for the children we have but why can&#039;t we want more children why should we settle for what we have when we know we have the love in our hearts for more and to be honest what the hell has it got to do with them anyway, how would they feel if one day someone said right thats it you can&#039;t have anymore children your done.   
Maria and Brian
I don&#039;t know where your are with your journey but don&#039;t give up I hope you will have the chance to hold your baby one day if you haven&#039;t already.  I would love to know what happened and if there is any way you can let me know please do.  Good luck to you both X</description>

		<description>Hey guys. First of all I am amazed that so many can judge you without knowing your story, didn’t some wise person once say that a little compassion would make the world a much better place. Second, I should say how sorry I am that so many people in New Zealand obviously have nothing better to do than criticise others for trying to create a family. I wonder at how many of those who have called you names, underrate your parenting, or sneered at your love are only doing so because they are too sad or sour to be happy themselves. Third, I wonder how many of those that criticise you actually make any donations to help all those they state need it more, or are they too busy buying fancy Lattés, jewellery, or getting their hair done – again.
As for me I became a single dad five years ago and have raised my two since. It took a long time to for all three of us to recover from the loss of my best friend, but just recently I realised how special to me another friend had become, someone I have known for 15 years, someone my kids adore, someone that I have now realised I want to be with on a far more intimate level. Having chosen to have a vasectomy six years ago, I now find myself in a life I never expected, and I too am trying to reverse the operation. At this time I am unable to afford it either, having spent the last four years at university, working part time, and parenting. But I know it will happen.
I wish you all the best, perhaps one day your next child and mine will create world piece together, or cure cancer, or just be good people who share a laugh together. Take heart from each other, and ignore those who get a childish pleasure from trying to belittle your dreams……I feel sorry for them.</description>

		<description>Hey Lori, we have saved all the money ourselves so far. We will get there no matter what we are determined! So no need to worry. Though after some more investigation we think we may be better off going for IVF at this stage :)</description>
