PCOS & Hydrosalpinx....

[elleblue]

Trust me to get both!

Anyone had any success getting pregnant?! or am I dreaming of the impossible?!

Hey

I orginally had the same devastating diagnosis. Diagnosed by hsg - sonohystogram.

Then I had a lap surgery to remove both of my tubes - as my fertility specialist advised it was the only way to go forward followed by ivf. I did tons of my own research on hydrosalpinx and it seems next to impossible to me to conceive naturally - even with ivf - it isn't worth doing ivf with hydrosalpinx - unless you have the tubes removed.

Shockingly, when I went for my lap surgery - the surgeon found that I did not have hydrosalpinx tube - but rather a fluid filled cyst sitting on top of my tubes.

Goodluck and feel free to ask me any questions - hopefully I can be of some help.

Thanks Chick

I am waitng for an appointment with the fertility clinic - however I have PCOS too so the chances are minimal I guess of getting pregnant?

Do they normally remove the bead tube then?

I have pcos too.

Yes the best success is removing the tube. Many articles that I read suggest that even ivf is very unlikely to work. Ivf typically has a 50% success rate - and with hydrosalpinx tubes - is goes to like 10% or less.

You are lucky in one way that they found it. Many people find out after mulitple failed ivf's and they have spent a fortune.

Thanks Blue

So are you having any IVF or treatment or do we just have to accept that this is it?
