Worried about what's next

[Daisy545]

Hi all,

Bit of a long one..
I am currently 24 and never had a period naturally. I started seeing an endocrinologist about 6 years ago and they done very little, I seen her once maybe twice a year and I was just told to stay on tablets (norethisterone) which induced a period for me every 3/4 months. Nothing further was done here.

I then moved and went to a new doctor and was referred to a gynaecologist. All investigations have been done, bloods, scans and recently I had a HYCOSY which showed that I may have one blocked Fallopian tube. They also said they think I have PCOS.

I am now currently on tablets (Metformin) and awaiting my next appointment to discuss the HYCOSY results.

I guess I’m just curious if anyone has went through any of these similar scenarios and how it turned out. Will one Fallopian tube seriously effect conceiving and what should I expect with PCOS, having this is pretty new to me. The tablets I am on are also giving me bad side effects, but I’m determined to continue to see if they work and help me.

Thank you 

I can't offer advice on the pcos but I only have one tube due to an ectopic pregnancy.
The month after I conceived so it's definately possibly to still get pregnant!
I was also told by my consultant that the tubes are actually pretty mobile and can cross sides to the opposite ovary if that one is ovulating (they used to think the were static)
Either way I think it affects your fertility as it makes the situation slightly more complicated, but not as badly as you might think. There is a recent thread about ectopic pregnancies where people have stories about conceiving with only one tube if you want reassurance that it can happen.

You are going through an awful lot by the sounds of it! Make sure you write down any questions you have before your next appointment and either take someone with you or better still get them to write down all the answers. It's very easy to forget a lot of the info and advice they give you especially if you are dealing with a couple of different issues. (We are told patients only retain 10% of the info we give them at any one appointment so we often have to repeat it)
The good thing is you are still young (10 years younger than me!!) So even if this is a long journey for you, you have plenty of time. X
