IUI next week and scheduling laparoscopy

in TTC after 35
SO RE wanted to do my u/s today, and not the nurse. Which was good and disturbing at the same time...but I am glad he did, we created our next steps. My follies today were only about 11's but I have lots of them, he said the eggs aren't a problem, those I have but it could be the PID from 20 years ago with scarred fallopian tubes or endometriosis.
SO I go back monday for u/s probably do IUI on the wednesday which is cd21.
We are scehduling laparoscopy for late February/ early March. of course if I get a BFP this month lap is canceled! Oh then injectibles after lap....told him we couldn't do IVF...that changed his whole game plan, so in theory we have one more cycle after this..hope I don't need it!
Fingers crossed for a BFP cause I don't want this surgery, has anyone else had it what was it like?
Qzee my appt was canceled! So I won't meet you in waiting room!

Re: IUI next week and scheduling laparoscopy
Really hoping you don't need the lab and you get your BFP this month!!!
Had a similar experience yesterday at the RE. My bloodwork came back good which is good news. He did the ultrasound yesterday and my uterus looks good & no signs of cysts which is great! However, he had a hard time finding my left ovary because it was way farther away than it should have been and he suspects that it is because of endometriosis. The other concerning thing was that my cervix has narrowed as a result of the biopsy that I had done almost a year ago. He was unable to get the cath through to do the saline infusion. I was already scheduled for a hysterscopy on Monday so he will see how that goes and we can chat about what's next then.
So I have a feeling that lap will be in my future as well. Fingers crossed for both of us!
First and foremost, fingers crossed for a BFP!
IF you have to do a lap, it will just get you closer to your goal and give your doctor information to help you.
I never had laparoscopy, but I had a myomectomy (surgery to remove fibroids) and that was no walk in the park. Keep us posted...
Sorry I won't get to meet you, but glad they moved your appt up. Sorry about rx for the lap - that sux, but I guess it may answer your IF problem. Hopefully you will get a BFP this cycle & don't need any thing else
IUI at cd21 - is that normal or is it because you have long cycles?
Robbensm - how odd about your ovary, is this common? Good luck with your hysterscopy on Monday. I hope we all get our BFP this cycle & move on to Preg over 35...
me:40; DH:41; 4/30/12 1st visit with RE; 6/30/12 IUI #1 BFN; 7/19/12 IUI cancelled (overmedicated); 8/2/12 IUI cancelled (cyst); 9/1/12 IUI #2 BFP! EDD 5/28/13; 10/9/12 1st U/S at 7w3d--missed m/c (trisomy 16) D&C 10/19/12; karyotyping results normal!; 1/31/13 IUI #3 BFP! EDD 10/25/13
Good Luck with your IUI and getting a BFP, so no need for this surgery....

ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
Good luck Heather! Not sure about the temp spike - particularly annoying as I'm sure it's close to your O day?
I haven't had a lap but when I was preparing for my hysteroscopy I found a bunch of lap info over on 3T and infertility and it was detailed and helpful.
Qzees - I do seem to have a very long pre O cycle, last month O's at cd16 was more of an anomoly for me, but really I guess everything about my cycles are off from the norm
Lenox - I think the spike was a low grade fever, i woke up sick that day, not tossing the numbers just yet - I mean I have never had a temp in the 98 pre O and after O only 2x! So that is a very strange spike, especially since yesterday the u/s showed I was days away from O!
