a little bit of advice please anyone?

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you lovely ladies could help. you see i have my next appiontment at the hospital in two weeks and im starting to get a little nervous of what to expect.

Heres a little bit about me >
I first got refered to the hospital in decemeber after have a load of bloods done with my gp. they showed i didnt ovulate for two months running.
At hospital i had more bloods (still no ov) and two scans one in dec and one in jan which showed a cyst on my right ovary. which my dr wanted to remove. so in feb i went in for a lapaoscopy, a dye test and the removal of that cyst.
While i was being sliced and diced my dr found my right tube not only had a cyst but was twisted and blocked. also i had scaring(??) which he said he removed as much as he could but he would like to remove the tube. but would dicuss my options at next meet.
He then said with his findings i am at risk of an ectopic pregnancy and he would not be comfortable with me trying naturally any longer then 3 to 4 months and if i wanted to go down the ivf route at somepoint i would need my right tube removing as it is troublesome.

now with me next appointment drawing closer and closer. i find myself at a bit of a lose as what to expected?
what comes next for me an my husband?
still no luck falling since the op ....i dont even know if i am oving i didnt in the three tests they did? he's never brought up me not oving. i'd think that would be an important thing to try and fix. you know, no egg nothing for them spermies to race to...
but maybe he was just focused on my cyst i dont know?...

Anyway i guess im just asking if anyone has been thru something simliar or has anything to say to keep me sane for the next two weeks.

I have a feeling he is going to book me in for my next op to have my tube removed and then send us on our merry way but i'd very much like to ov... or to find out if i am now? or have help oving ... i dnt know. i dont know what to ask him?

Sorry i'm waffling and i dont even know if ive made a point or just vented.

But thanks in advance if anyone gets through my ramble

to everyone.

I don't really have any advice in your specific situation, other than to go armed with a list of questions! If he thinks you are at risk of ectopic......that is probably why he isn't offering meds to help ovulation. But then, why send you away to try for 3 months? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Plus, if going for IVF, surely that by-passes the tubes anyway? Maybe he is thinking better to remove the tube so it never poses a problem in the future,

If it were me, I would want to know what the risk of an ectopic was, how likely I would be to conceive naturally if one tube were removed, if I could be given clomid or similar to help ovulation after tube removed, how likey that would be successful with only one tube....and probably talk about IVF if I didn't like the answers!

Good luck.

Hi, heres hoping.

Thanks for replying.

I think i will go armed to the teeth with questions even if he answers them before i get a chance to ask them.

i think waiting around has just given me way too much time to think. and worry about the little information i have.
I know in the grand scheme of things 3 months isnt that long to wait (ive been waiting 21 months already) but its felt like a lot longer.

I don't know why i was sent away for three months. i think partly that was the earliest i could get my next appiontment? im not sure tho. back in dec i was told the wait for constulations can be 3 to 16 weeks. so that could have been part of it.
But truthly i felt a bit abandoned. a bit scared to carry on trying incase of ectopic.

Thanks again.
