[primrose88]

Hi ladies

I am currently ttc, under investigations at the mo, one of which is a lap to check that my tubes are ok!

I would like to no if anyone has been through this, and also what were your results and the action taken??
Also how soon did you conceive after treatment (if was needed).

Does anyone no what can cause this to happen, and does your body show any symptoms if your tubes are blocked

Sorry guys a load of questions i no!!!!!!

Thankyou so much for help ladies

Hi Primrose. I've been ttc for a year. I have ds who is 2.5. I went to see my consultant for a suspected short luteal phase. After a couple of months of failed treatment for that, he suggested that I have a lap and dye and another procedure called a hysterocopy where they look at your womb. He said I might have adhesions or blocked tubes or adhesions caused by the c-section after having my son. I had the procedure in Nov. He found my right tube completely bent and my left ovary completely stuck down. He did surgery whilst there and managed to straigthen things and unstick things. The only symptoms I'd had were not getting pregnant. I was just about to start clomid on Saturday but af never arrived!!!! Yep bfp after what has been a v difficult year.
What's your history if you don't mind me asking? The lap is def worth having done. I felt rought for about 3/4 days after but at least I knew what had stopped me getting pregnant. Hope this helps

Hi prim,
I had bad pms and was house during that time gp was useless finally screamed and said i was not leaving his surgery until he refered me to a gynae went private and had laproscopy done on 23rd march 07 was told i had blocked tubes, a scar and a cyststs. the gynae said my only option was ivf went to see the specialist straight away as i had most tests done paid for the ivf and was about to start the cycle found out i was pregnant on 23 may 07 , when all this was going on i had adult acne, became hairy for the first time i guess it was stress- could not quit smoking as i was told that i needed to quit before ivf.
You are lucky you have mnetres for support i did not have, and good luck-
Silly advice do drink loads of kombucha tea.

Hi buttercupbabe and ruva

I have been ttc conceive sine my loss in March 07.

I was refered to a gynae, and I have been having 21day blood test. My first blood test showed I did not ovulate so I was perscribed clomid 100mg. My 2nd b.test showed clomid helped me ovulate, progesterone levels were a good 94.

AF arrived yesterday and I started my second cycle of clomid today.

The lap is just routine, and it is on 12 march, I am so scared as to what they might find

RUVA, your story frightens me blocked tubes?a cyststs and a scar?, Its fantastic you concevied, but I dont think I have the strength anymore. Did you have any symtoms that you had a cyststs, scar and blocked tubes??

Thaks guys

[primrose88]

RUVA
Oh
Where do I get kombucha tea from (never heard of it) and what does it do

[ruva]

Hi prim,
as i said its silly advice , but worth a try
i will mail you on sat as iam out wed,thurs,frid so will be able to describe a bit, and hun its better to know what you are dealing with so what ever results say you know you can take each day a at a time.
I was basically pscho during my periods and had contractions so i knew something was wrong and at 34 the specialist told me i did not have time to dilly dally.

[primrose88]

Thanks Ruva

Your a star, I no its better to no what your chances are, how else can we improve em,sometimes I just feel like there is no hope. Speak soon

[buttercupbabe]

Hi Primrose. I'm sorry for your loss last year. It's such a heart breaking business - I really thought I'd be looking at ivf. I was worried by what they might find during my lap, but once I know at least we could then take action to see what we could do. Lots of luck with the lap - it might show nothing and the clomid might just do the trick.

[primrose88]

Thankx buttercupbabe

Did they find anything with you lap?

[hifi]

hi primrose, i had a lap years ago, all i can say is afterwards rest more than you think. i thaught i was ok day after and went out with my sister, came home and never felt pain like it. good luck

[buttercupbabe]

Yes primrose. I had adhesions on one ovary meaning it probably wasn't ovulating effectively and on the other side my fallopian tube was bent up the wrong way. Both of these were caused by the c-section I had with ds. But they did manage to put things right and I've got my bfp only 2 months later
I also agree with hifi. Make sure you take it easy afterwards. Lots of luck - let us know how you get on.

Hi all, had a dermoid cystin my right ovary then had lap and dye on monday, found endometrosis, they 'burnt' it. Dye didnt go that well, left ft blocked. I'm ttc 1st time, i tried for 1y & 10m. So far dr wants to take left ovary and tube out due risk of ectopic preg, have an appointment in 3 weeks. I want to know if any of you had fallopian tubes unblocked succesfuly?
Good luck

[delphinedownunder]

Hi, This is a happy ending blocked tubes story. I was diagnosd with blocked tubes in mid 2004 when I was 36. I had a lap to clear them, although the consultant said that he felt that they wouldn't stay open for long. He also said that he felt that they had been in this condition for a significant number of years, probably since my late teens. They were checked six months later and after a second lap, it was confirmed that they had reclosed and were full of toxic fluid (his words!). So then I had another lap and one was completely removed and the other reopened and 'tidied up' (again his words). It was now mid 2005. At this point I was referred for IVF. This commenced in October 2005 and in July 2006 my twins were born. From despair to the luckiest girl in the world in the space of two years. I have been looked after superbly well by the NZ health service. My everyone have similar good fortune.

[pocketmum]

Hi,

I had no idea this even existed and it's so refreshing to hear other ladies going through similar problems. When you have the monthly disappointing news you're not pregnant you can't help but think you're the only one this is happening to. I have been ttc for a year now, my son will be 2.5 years at Christmas and I conceived with him within 2 months. I very naively thought my 2nd conception would take a similar length of time.

My husband has had checks (which are all fine) as have I (Hormone levels etc.) which again are all normal. However still no joy with a 2nd pregnancy. I have a preop appointment tomorrow to have a Laparoscopy & Dye Test complete next week and to have a Hysteroscopy done at the same time. I've already had a trans-vaginal scan which showed everything as being fine.

I had an extremely difficult birth first time which ended in an emergency c section. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind that having a c section could possibly prevent further pregnancies.

Has anyone got any positive stories or advice they could give on whether they have been successful in conceiving after scaring from a c section? Assuming they find this wrong with me!

Any advice appreciated x

I know this is an old thread but I want to give someone who may read this some hope. So I've been battling infertility for 11 years, diagnosed with both fully blocked fallopian tubes, had a HCG then followed by a lap (8years ago) which confirmed they we're so badly damaged & stuck to my uterus that our only option was IVF. Which then revealed I had diminished ovarian reserve, a fibroid on the wall of my uterus and functional ovarian cysts. So 4 failed IVF cycles and a silent miscarriage after IVF we gave up hope and couldn't mentally face anymore. So at 37 we started getting to know an amazing lady that tired surrogacy for us, 4 failed attempts and by this point I was 38....... then a month later i discovered that I am naturally pregnant (with the same amazing partner) and out little miracle is in the right place despite all our history. We have defied medical science, we are currently 10 weeks 2 days pregnant and have had 3 scans confirming everything is exactly how it should be. It has taken alot of heartache to get to this day so I just wanted to say that sometimes miracles really do happen and I sincerely wish that each of you amazing ladies get your little miracles too. Infertility is such a dark lonely place, big hugs & sticky baby dust to you all xxxxxx
