Intro!

Hi ladies! My DH and I have been TTC since April 2010. During that time we have had to take a couple breaks and have had to wait between testings due to insurance referrals (tricare).

I have been diagnosed with a hydrosalpinx, otherwise my labs are great and I O regularly. DH had a slightly low count (18mil) and we are repeating it this month since it has been a year. In that year he has quit all tobabcco products and is eating healthier.

We tried several attempts at IUI that we often converted to TI because I always O'd on my "blocked" side. We tried clomid to stim my right side to O and did get to do 2 IUI's, but they were BFN. My doctor kept telling me until we wanted to do IVF, we could leave the hydro alone. After much research on my own, I decided that hydro needed to go!

So here we are. On Dec 7th, I will be having an essure procedure to get rid of my nast tube! We have to wait 3 months after before doing any more IF procedures. I can't decide if we want to go right to IVF or try IUI a couple more times.  I'm thinking about giving IUI a couple more tries to give us more time to save for IVF, but I''m anxious to get started on the 'trying' again.

 I love reading your posts and they are so informative. Does any one else have experience with tubal infertility? How did you procede? What are you doing now?

Thanks!!!

Nice to "meet" you!!!  You've inspired me, I guess I should do an intro too.  I'm sure you feel the same that it's so comforting to know there's a group here that is dealing with the same emotions and craziness of IF.  We'll get thru it all together!  :)

I don't have tubal infertility, but up until they got in there for my laparoscopy they thought I had a hydrosalpinx so I'd done a lot of reading on it.  I think you're making the right choice to get it removed - from what I read it can affect getting/staying pregnant even if you ovulate on the other side.

 

Best wishes and good luck on the 7th!

Welcome!  This is a great place to get advice comfort etc.  I have one tube and ovary that are severely damaged by endometriosis, but we don't really know if it works after I have had surgery b/c we went straight to IVF after my diagnosis.  If this round of IVF doesn't work we will try one more time, but then I guess we will see what happens naturally.  Goodluck with your procedure!  And with getting your sticky baby!

All Welcome
