Goodbye tubes. :(

KelinandKevin

I just got back home from my repeat HSG and meeting with RE.  He wanted to go over all my problems and what we had already addressed and discuss any other possible reasons for a miscarriage.  Here's where I stand;

1) PCOS - take 1000mg metformin daily, loose 20 more pounds (only for me, he said my weight is fine)

2) Blood disorders (I was + for 3 of 5 disorders) - lovenox injections, baby aspirin, folic acid, vitamin D

3) Karyotyping - getting both Kevin and I tested for genetic issues ($2400 total). 

4) Hydrosalpinx (blocked/clubbed tubes) - Complete removal of fallopian tubes.  After further evaluation, tubes appear to be "pooling" with fluid in certain spots. This can cause toxic fluids to build up in tubes and leak into uterus to case m/c.  Also found mass on right tube that needs to be removed and tested for cancerous cells.

 My RE actually said, "we are going to have to go gangbusters on you" and just remove all tubes and ensure your genes aren't messed up.  Which means for our next IVF we may have to do PGD (unless karyotyping is normal). One interesting thing I didn't know is that my scarred tubes could actually CAUSE my blood clotting disorders.  He said the body recognizes the pelvic disease and it tires to overcome it by clotting.  So all of my issues are a result of my F*cked up tubes.

 So yeah - that's the game plan.  No more tubes.  No more chance of ever conceiving on our own.  1 IVF and 1 FET try left. It's all riding on this next ER.  Part of me is sad to loose my tubes, the other part of me knows that they aren't doing me any good anyway.  Plus now Kev and I won't have to worry about the dangers of ectopic pregnancies in the future. 

This just sucks. It's so overwhelming. I wish I would have known all of this before we did our first IVF. I am mad that we wasted those other tries.  Anyway, that's the update.  Thanks for reading and for all your support.

I'm going to find the vodka now...

Wow that's a lot to deal with. Hopefully now that you know the problem and they are addressing it, one IVF will be all you need!

ColindaP

Interesting. Hopefully with those misbehaving tubes out of there, the next IVF will be a success. You know I'm rooting for you, my dear.

Kelin, I don't have words that the Bump would allow me to post, so just tons of hugs and I love you. I really, really hate this crap.

GuppyAmy

Wow that is a lot to take in. The good news is that the doctor thinks he has some answers. Who knew that your tubal issues could cause all of those issues. I so hope this is the answer for you and I wish you could have gotten it sooner.

KristysRedBarn

I'm sorry Kelin.  That all sucks so much.  I think the plan sounds good and hope the next IVF works for you.

Cissi64

Hoping and praying that the Dr's plan results in take home babies for you.  I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of this.

*Juma*

Goodness, that's a lot to digest.  I'm so sorry you've got so much going on, but you are super strong and can get through the upcoming surgery.  I am super hopeful that the next IVF will bring you a healthy baby.  Lots of love and hugs, pretty lady.

So sorry about your tubes.  Wishing you a speedy recovery from the surgery.   ((HUGS))  I hope this round of IVF will be it for you!

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}  That is so much to have to deal with.  I hope that removing the tubes will solve all of your problems.

I am so sorry. I wish you had gotten better news. ((hugs))

grr_aargh

I'm sorry.  That's a lot to deal with.  I'm glad there's a game plan, I'm just sorry that's it.  And I'm really sorry you didn't know this sooner.

VeilSdeGTO

I'm sorry you're losing your tubes, but hopefully, that means some of the clotting issues might resolve on their own. It's a lot to take in so enjoy your drink. Here's to a successful IVF for you!

butterfly843

Sending lots of hugs your way. I hope your next ivf will bring your take home baby. Will continue to keep you in my thoughts.

heathergirl67

Your first HSG didn't catch that your tubes were enlarged/causing pooling?  Because that's a known cause of m/c and I thought that was exactly the sort of thing that an HSG is supposed to catch!!  There's no way of fixing your tubes with some sort of corrective surgery?  How did they get so messed up in the first place?

 I'm sorry that you have to go through all of this crap, but I am happy that there's still hope for you to have biological children.  I remember before you were thinking that it wasn't a possibility, so it must be a relief to know there's a chance, even if you do have to do it through IVF.  Plus, I can't wait to see your adorable baby!

Fififa21

Wow, that?s a lot on your plate to deal with. I?m so sorry this has been/is such a difficult journey for you. Wishing you lots of luck on this next cycle! Praying that you will get your take home baby soon :-)

LilMaggs

*hugs*  I am so sorry  That is so much to take in.  I'm happy you have a  game plan now, but I am so very sorry that this wasn't caught earlier.  Fingers and everything else crossed that one cycle is all you need.

WI-mommy-hopeful

I am sorry, and I really hope your next IVF works!!! What an ordeal to be going through. So sorry.

csquared426

Kelin, I'm so sorry. That is a lot to deal with all at once. ((HUGS))

mlmtgg

wow Kelin, I am sorry I am just reading this now. While I am so glad your doc is so thorough and proactive in going gang busters, I am so sorry that you have to endure this. I'm thinking of you, and keep us informed as to what's happening. hugs.

ade2be

Wow, what a lot of info for you.  I'm glad your RE is getting answers before your FET.  Sorry about the tubes, that sucks, but you are right that at least you won't have to worry about an ectopic.  I hope all of this helps and the FET works.

Court1

That is a lot to swallow, but it sounds like it might finally be the answer for you.  Sending hugs & vodka & thinking of you!

Olive44

I'm sorry, hon.  That is a lot to take in.  I hope and pray that this is the answer for you.  (((hugs)))

jennsadye1979

I am sorry that you are only getting this information now, instead of much earlier, what a kick in the vag. I am glad that you at least have answers now and a path to follow that will bring you to your take-home baby. ((Hugs)) Much love to you Kelin. I always have you in my thoughts.

millejj1

Wow, that's a lot to take on at once. I hope that this new plan ends up with the IVF working! hugs!

Amanda78

Huge hugs Kelin. I hope that this plan fixes what can be fixed and that this IVF is it for you and Kevin.

AppleRidge

I appreciate that your doctor is thinking innovatively and proactively, but I wish like hell that he'd gotten his sh!t together before your last IVF tries.  I realy do think that inflammation does awful things to our bodies and has a lot to do with m/c, so I think the tube removal plan is a solid one.  I just wish you didn't have to do it.

Lots of love, Kelin.  This sucks. 

lunatwo

Oh my gosh, that is a lot to process.  I am really sorry you are having all of these issues.  But, I am so glad that there is still hope.  I was worried for a while there that it was looking bleak.  This is actually still quite promising.  I will be wishing every bit of good luck to you that this next attempt will be a success!!

Clerk9

((HUGE HUGS))

I'm sorry that you have to go through so, so much.  And that this plan didn't come up sooner.  BUT it sounds like you guys have a solid chance for this next IVF to work.  You & your DH will be in my thoughts.  ::EVERYTHING crossed:: that this leads to your sticky baby... 

KiKiMe

That is a lot of information and although it may not be "good" information it is sure valuable to help you find a successful way to get this done! Good luck moving forward.

hopefulelise

So sorry for all that overwhelming information you got!

I hope it takes only one IVF to get the job done, good luck on everything! 

PeetiePie

Oh my gosh Kelin, I'm so sorry.  I hope this new plan brings you a healthy LO.  (((hugs)))

pennynjon

I am sorry that you have to deal with all of that.  That has to be overwhelming. I hope that removing your tubes fixes the problem (although I am sorry you have to do that).  You will be in my prayers.

hoping&waiting

I am so sorry hon.  Overwhelming indeed.  I hope IVF2 and FET2 do the trick(s). 

Sonadora

Huge hugs Kelin.

rjl07

That is definitely overwhelming, but it sounds like your RE has a great plan now and hopefully your FET will be a huge success.  ((huge hugs))

redstars93

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry you have to go through this. I'm sending you all sorts of positive thoughts, vibes, prayers, baby dust.

 And this>

michrocc

I'm so very sorry, Kelin.  I'm always here for you, hon...we all are.
