Tomorrow is the day I find out if

[geordieporgie]

Tomorrow is the day I find out if I'm likely to be able to conceive naturally or if I'm infertile.

I'm mentally in an extremely dark place and struggling to come to terms with having to have surgery in the morning. I'm having a laparoscopy to remove endometriosis and one Fallopian tube. We aren't yet sure on the condition of the other Fallopian tubes but I'm so scared.

Can anybody offer me any advice please :( I've waited a long time for answers and I don't actually think I can cope with them :(

Hi. You can conceive with one tube. The evidence is literally snoring beside me.

I now have no tubes left, which makes it impossible for me as I’m now too old to be statistically successful with IVF.

If you’re under about 40, with the odds getting better every year below, then even with no tubes you could still be successful with assistance.

Good luck. There are ALWAYS options.

@Lividity

This is what I need to hear 😭😭 thank you!

Does it make a difference if one tube has been damaged beyond repair from the endo tho? I'm worried I won't possibly have one tube that's normal still if the others bad :(

I'm 30 😊

IVF essentially does away with the need for tubes.

It doesn’t remove the risk of ectopic, but it does mean you can still get pregnant, especially at 30.

However, excessive scarring COULD potentially cause other complications.

Your best case scenario is to still have a working tube as frankly it’s cheaper and much easier to have a baby the sex way. Ultimately, at 30 you can make it work with no tubes, if you have to.

I also lost tube to an ectopic in my twenties and have since had three children naturally. Best of luck, OP!

Thank you so much 😊
Pray for me that at least one tube will be normal 😭😭

Wishing you the best of luck x

Sending you lots of luck op xxx

Really hope that your other tube is normal 🤞
But I have multiple friends who have had similar gynae issues and gone on to conceive with IVF following both tubes removed/blocked and had healthy pregnancies and babies.
Best wishes for the surgery tomorrow x

Both my tubes are buggered. Don’t work at all.

IVF was my saviour.

My DC are teens now but I can go back to those dark days in an instant even now.

Hope you get better news x

I lost a tube to an eptopic- told my other tube was badly scarred. Conceived my two children no issues on first try with both!
fingers x for you OP

My cousin had an ectopic when young and lost a tube, she also has endometriosis, she now has 3 children and didn't have to have IVF. I really hope you get the news you want OP

I’m no help but good luck, rooting for you 🤞🏼❤️

Gosh there really are a lot of others who have had similar situations!
Thank you all - I'm truly so grateful for every response and well wishes xxx

Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

I have endometriosis. Lost my right tube due to ectopic pregnancy, and have had 2 dc since. With dd2 I ovulated from my right ovary and still managed to get pregnant.

Hope everything goes well for you!

@NameChange329435

Thank you so so much 😭😭 xx

Wishing you the best of luck for tomorrow.

All the best for tomorrow. I hope you have a tube in great shape, but definitely agree with pps that even if you don't, this is far from the end of the road for you!

@Snugglemonkey

Thank you so so much. I wish I had others positivity!! Xx

OP my husband cannot conceive naturally and, while IVF - especially during covid 🤯 -does suck massive amounts of cock (not literally obviously, if you’re trying to conceive that’s not the right way to go about it 😁) it has given us two beautiful children and several more on ice (so many I dread having to decide what to do with the leftovers…)

Will be praying for good news for you tomorrow and a straightforward surgery but even if you find out natural conception won’t be an option, it’s definitely not the end of the line.

@Learningtofeminist

😂😂 nicely put.

I'm happy you got your babies xx

My tubes (both) are entirely blocked by endo. Spent 5 years trying before I found out and it was horrible. Started ivf and now have 2 children, both conceived immediately on a fresh cycle. LOVE ivf for this. You are younger than me and have every reason to be hopeful! Good luck. Xx

I have stage 4 endometriosis, everything stuck together and tubes were blocked. My two children, conceived via IVF are currently sleeping soundly. It doesn’t have to be the end of the road, IVF is an amazing technology. Don’t give up hope.

@geordieporgie I’m 22 weeks pregnant with endometriosis and one blocked tube. And the month I got pregnant I ovulated from the ‘bad’ side.

wishing you the best!

I had an ectopic that ruptured, emergency surgery and lost my tube, told my other tube completely blocked but still managed have my lovely little boy naturally,

I really wouldn't give up any hope, I was reallly down and depressed after my ectopic took me a while to not think the worst about infirertily but there's really so many options and routes to go down, good luck xx
