Hysteroscopy and PCOS update

hi ladies, Thank you so much for your good luck wishes. Everything went fine and everything was "normal". While I am EXTREMELY thankful that everything is fine, I am also confused as to my IF issues. My RE does not think that I have PCOS after looking at my ovaries/follicles and the fact that my only real sign of PCOS is irregular menstruation. The labs are not back yet. I was lucky enough to have the chance drink the amazing glucose mixture (orange flavor *gag*) for my glucose challenge. He said that One follicle on my right side was maturing and he said it looked like I will ovulate from my right ovary this time around. This sort of surprised me because I assumed I have not been ovulating. He told me when to have fun times with my DH and if I don't get pregnant this cycle then we will start the Femara, Trigger & IUI in February. I am really excited about being proactive with this whole IF thing. I am very hopeful and so is my RE. I GOT THIS!!

Glad everything was normal! Quick question for you though - did you go in for a Hysteroscopy (usually requires anesthesia, and is considered minor surgery) or was it a Hysterosalpingogram, which is where they put dye into your uterus and fallopian tubes?

Glad you are ovulating, and I was misdiagnosed with PCOS too. It's hard not having concrete answers. Good luck to you and DH.

That's great! I'm in a similar position except I have endo. I thought I wasn't ovulating because of irregular periods. Turns out I WAS ovulating! I was having retrograde menses. It's weird but oddly kind of good news too! Hopefully you get your BFP in no time. The glucose test is torture!

TTC #1 for Dh, #2 for me. HSG clear. Low AMH and endo. Multiple Clomid w/TI cycles - all BFNs. 2 IUIs with Clomid and 1 with Femara - more BFNs. IVF#1 25R, 15M, 15F. 5DT of two perfect 4AA blasts! Positive HPT at 5dp5dt. Beta #1 6dp5dt - 72. Beta #2 8dp5dt - 285. Beta #3 10dp5dt - 793. Both babies have strong beautiful heartbeats! Baby B miscarried at 7 weeks. Baby A is holding on through miscarrying her twin, sub-chorionic hematoma, and complete placenta previa. Stick, baby, stick!

WHAT?!? You get anesthesia with your hysteroscopy? I didn't. I had an easy time of it but still. I'm oddly kind of jealous.

Yeah! I can't imagine doing it without general anesthesia, I thought that was normal but maybe I'm wrong? My RE told me it was "minor surgery" and it was procedure to do it under anesthesia. It really did a number on me for the entire day too, it was not a piece of cake. I hope I'm not confusing everyone with the HSG (hysterosalpingogram) vs the hysteroscopy since they are different.

No, it was a hysteroscopy. I'm not sure why you would need anesthesia, unless they have to remove a polyp. My RE did it in his procedure room. The "dildo cam" was very small, about the size of a coffee straw. They put saline in and did a trans-vaginal u/s. It was mildly uncomfortable, like menstrual cramps. I would have welcome anesthesia though, ha! Although, I did enjoy him explaining everything and I was able to see what he was doing on a screen.

I know, righ!? It really wasn't bad, just felt like menstrual cramps, but I would have rather been asleep haha. He did explain everything to me while I saw it on a screen, which I enjoyed.

I had a polyup, so now it makes sense! :)

I think most RE's put you under in case they find something they can fix it then instead of having to do it again under general anesthesia. I have had 2 from 2 different REs and both put me under. Good luck on your cycle and have fun!

Oh, ok. That makes sense. I have already had a hystosonogram so the hysteroscopy was just procedure. They were pretty darn sure they wouldn't find anything.
