Infertility

Update

My last bump with infertility came right before my ER and my RE told me that my ovaries were too high for him to reach. So he suggested a procedure to go in and try to adjust their position. Well I had the procedure yesterday and we had some good and bad outcomes. It seems that my right ovary was twisted and had a tumor so the best option for my health was to remove it. But we had good news in that my left was position above my bowels and he simply moved it and now it is in reach. My worry now is if the ivf will be a success with only 1 ovary...

Re: Update

  • I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.  I hope everything works out. IF is so unfair.
    ***SIGGY WARNING***

    DX: Unexplained
    6 Failed IUIs (Clomid and Gonal F).  
    IVF #1 began August 2013- BC, 4 days of Estrace, stimmed with Gonal F and Menopur, Ganirelix, 9R 5M 5F, Medrol and Doxycycline, 5 day transfer of 2 early blastocysts- good quality, Progesterone, Estrace, and baby aspirin, BETA on 9/20 BFN,   IVF #2 began September 2013, stimming with Gonal F (higher dose) and Menopur, Ganirelix, 18R 14M 9F with ICSI, 5 day transfer of 2 BBs one was starting to hatch, 2 frosties: 1  BB and 1 AC, BETA on 10/21, BFN BETA was a 5- chemical 
    Getting some more testing and trying to figure out what the issue is before FET in December, started acupuncture on 11/10, RLP and some other BW nothing major to report except slightly high Prolactin. Prolactin was slightly high when I started with my RE and I already had an MRI which was Neg.  Endo biopsy=negative.  WTF is wrong with us???
    12/18/13 FET of 1 BB and 1 AC.  Hoping for a miracle.  Beta 12/26 Low BETA-8 2nd BETA 5- chemical
    After 3 failed transfers IDK where to go from here.  Still no real answers as to why this isn't working.  Getting a second opinion in February and looking into immune testing.

  • That's unreal! I hope your pathology comes back fine and that you are able to move forward with IVF. I have no experience with this, but even with 2 ovaries, my right one is always the powerhouse that does nearly all the work. So I think it is definitely possible.

  • I also have both ovaries, but my left rarely produces anything...my right does all the work.

    I too hope your pathology is negative.  But how lucky that they found it like this.  Often these go unnoticed for a long time.

  • I'm so sorry you had to go through that.  I'm glad that there was some good news, though, and I wish you the best of luck!
  • Thank you all!!!!! We are still waiting on pathology. But if that comes back clear my RE wants me to do the May/June cycle. He said we may be a little more aggressive with the stims to help my one ovary. But he doesn't foresee any other problems. Of course this last problem was unforeseen as well. But. I'm just grateful that we have been undergoing these treatments or else it might have not been discovered until it was too late. I'm trying to remain positive and pray that this will all work out for my good!
