Laparoscopy next month nervous! Anyone else?

[VP1228]

Thanks everyone! I was crying with my doctor yesterday because I was so upset that at 22 I am almost at the borderline of no fertility. I hope I can find out if I am still ovulating from my right ovary. I thought they could remove some of the scar tissue from my ovaries but I will talk to the fertility specialist about it. I would like to get pregnant on my own without assistance unless it be an IUI and not IVF. I am afraid to get IVF because there is a chance it will not work. Lazydaisys- does your friend have any pelvic pain from the baby pushing on the bladder since it is stuck to the uterus? my doctor told me if I get pregnant the pelvic pain will be worse. I just want some support and advice from everyone (which I am getting from you all already). Plus idk if we have a male factor or not because my fiance is a Type 2 diabetic.

She had very bad pain years ago before she wanted kids, she got rushed into hospital and that's when she found that out.Recently she's found out she's got a cyst the size of an orange on one of her ovaries which is causing her discomfort rather than pain as its adding pressure to that area. She's not in pain although doctors did warn her it would be difficult to be pregnant.

Okay thanks Lazydaisys I was unsure about how the pain would be if I got pregnant on my own. Do you think clomid will be used to see if my right ovary ovulates?

 

[Lazydaisys]

My next step is iui where they give you medication (not sure if its clomid) then keep scanning your ovaries to see if follicles grown and they scan you every other day and try to calculate when you are about to ovulate so they can get you to come in for insemination they then clean the sperm and insert the best swimmers through a catheter into your uterus so they meet. (Hope this makes sense as I am by no means an expert and this is all new to me.)

Maybe they could give you an internal scan near ovulation?

I hope I have that option because I really want to try on my own if my right ovary is working. I'm willing to have my left one removed because when ovulation is about to occur the left ovary swells and hurts for about 3 days after ovulation and maybe 2 days before. I just want some of the pain gone because 2 years of pelvic pain and ovulation pain that I thought was normal was not normal. But my fiance and I are going to move in about 2 months and IUI is about the price of our rent and electricity bill so we may have to try on our own if my right ovary is ovulating. I just feel that if they remove the left ovary that the right one will have to ovulate and not try to alternate between the two ovaries. I mean idk why I have ovulation pain for the left one every month when it is covered in scar tissue. Ugh so stressed out about this because I have a great guy who loves me and I can't even have a baby with him we plan to get married next year but if we are still going to fertility treatments then we will postpone.

I know it's a nightmare. I thought Id have a baby by now and trying for second. Now I'd just be happy with one. We have been trying the same amount of time. I'm having the summer to keep trying before iui consultation in September. You never know it could just happen .... I actually know three people who got pregnant with only one side working, tubes removed and problems on one side. I've got unexplained fertility issues my doctor told me after all testing which is good as there's no major reason but also why can't I get pregnant?? I have no answers? Just been shopping, I've spent a fortune treating myself this month. Ttc is such an expensive business x

Wow, getting pregnant with no tubes wow. I just want to have my own baby even if God gives me one of my own I will be fine I will adopt after that. I just want that experience being fertile just once even if it does end with one pregnancy. I just want a biological child with my fiance he is amazing. He hasn't judged me for my infertility he is just being support of whatever I need to do to have a baby. He is kind of nervous about me getting pregnant since my uterus is connected to my bladder. I will do whatever the doctor needs me to do to have a baby. We will get our BFPs and have a beautiful H&H baby or babies

She had one tube and one was removed x

Wow, I am just so anxious to see the fertility doctor now and hoping that he gives me some good news about my right ovary.

 

[Lazydaisys]

That's how I felt about the hsg. I didn't care about the procedure I was just nervous what they were going to say. I was pleased with the good/bad news but never expected the iui ivf converstation at this stage. I thought It was a long way off.

Got a letter through today confirming the conversation and the options discussed at the clinic. I was pleased to have that as confirmation although its equally scary seeing it in black and white. It also says. ' I tolerated the test well' it doesn't include that I had no choice! Ha ha

Try and stay upbeat there seems to be a few different pathways and options some we don't even know about yet.

I wish the fertility doctor would look at the pics from my lap and tell me my options sooner lol like tomorrow. I know he won't talk about it over the phone but I just want to have a baby soon. If my right ovary doesn't work I am not using donor eggs I will just get a hysterectomy and adopt a few years from now.

Hi all,

I had a laparoscopy in april 2013 and i was quite nervous prior to that.
I had it done in RPA sydney and i was diagnosed with endometriosis.

laparoscopy wasn't painful at all as i was senseless during the surgery
but by mistake they made a 5mm hole in my bladder which was later
fixed. I had to use catheter tube for urinating for atleast 12 days.
I was later fine with no issues thankfully.

I am trying for baby now but no result yet. so please pray for me.
All say my weight is a issue. i am 85kg and height 5'2''.

Sending out positive vibes to everyone x how are we all? Well wont be till next summer that i start IVF... So in the mean time just trying to keep myself busy dont lose hope everyone lots of love x

 

[VP1228]

It's hard to keep hoping when your doctor wouldn't try to remove the scar tissue from your ovaries and unattach your uterus from your bladder. I wish he would have tried because I just need someone to make an effort to really help me

 

[VP1228]

I now understand why my doctor didn't remove the scar tissue because it is old and will cause more damage to my ovaries so I guess I will be doing IVF with donor eggs when I am older ugh

 

[Kelstar82]

loads of hugs sorry to hear that xxxxxx did you have a followup appointment? Xxx

 

[CaliDreaming]

So sorry VP Hopefully the RE will have more options for you.

 

[VP1228]

Kel- Yeah I had that on the 14th, I did some research and that"s how I found out why it wasn't removed. I really don't understand why my doctor told me "it's not impossible for you to get pregnant it will just be hard", when I do ovulate the egg doesn't release because it gets trapped in the scar tissue so it is impossible unless the scar tissue is removed and that can't happen.

Cali- Idk what he can do since nothing has been working for 5 years. I feel so guilty about the whole thing, but my DF is being supportive and hopeful and I don't have any hope

 

[Lazydaisys]

Vp1228. If doc didn't want to damage your ovaries it might not be hopeless with regard to your eggs and ivf. Maybe they could stimulate and harvest your eggs still if its just the tube thats damaged. It's interesting he wants to protect them from further damage. Just a thought x

Its the ovaries that are covered in scar tissue. I am confused about how they will retrieve the eggs if scar tissue is covering my ovaries. Ugh so upset you guys idk what to do anymore because I didn't want to wait until I am in my 30s to have kids but it seems that's what's going to happen. We will not have money for IVF or even with financial help we can't afford it right now.
