4th E2 not good plus ovary drilling question

I am not responding this cycle very much at all. We will do our 5th and final E2 on Friday but if that doesn't go well we are going to meet to discuss ovary drilling. That scares the hell out of me.

I don't have much knowledge of the procedure so if you have any info, it would be much appreciated.

 I know crazy things happen and maybe on Friday my levels skyrocketed but I'm not very hopeful at all. I'm so disappointed.

Sorry I have been MIA for the last week or so. Things have been crazy. We got our offer accepted on the house we love and we are scheduled to close in a month so things are hectic.

Re: 4th E2 not good plus ovary drilling question

  • I don't have much info on the ovarian drilling, but I was looking at something similar of ovarian wedge resection.

     From what I understand, they go in laproscopicly and burst the cysts in the ovaries (OWR is where they actually remove them) in order to shrink the ovary down to normal (pcos ovaries are usually twice as large as normal) in order to let the mature follicles burst thru at ovulation, in hopes for a good quality ovulation.

  • Katie, that makes sense. I wonder how painful it is and what the recovery period is. I'm busy googling, lol

    Marie- I think so?? The dates of when you'll be in Sconsin? Sorry, I'm losing my brain, lol. We're about an hour and fifteen minutes north of there so not bad....

  • I had something very similar to ovarian drilling done in August. I think the term OD is out of date, and whatever my RE did, is what they call it now. I had mine for PCOS. I also had an exploratory lap at the same time to rule out endo, fibroids, etc...

    It was not that bad, honest :) My surgery lasted about 2 hrs, from start to finish, and once in recovery, I was up and moving around within the hour. Once I got home, the only discomfort I had at all was from the air they pumped in me, so I had pain around my shoulders and it was hard to lie down.

    I think my surgery was on a Thursday. By Saturday I was shopping!

    My scars are pretty much invisible. You have to look really hard to even find them.

    Good luck!

  • I'm hoping your E2 levels improve by Friday. Good luck! I don't know much about OD, but I hope you are able to get some answers and solutions.

    Congratulations on your house! That's great they accepted the offer on the house you love!

    Sorry, got busy working on a quote.

    I haven't updated my siggy, but I've been on 150iu for 3 days now and they'll keep me at this through Friday.
