PCOS & Ovarian Drilling

Please tell me that someone has had success conceiving after ovarian drilling.  Bonus points if they also removed a large cyst from INSIDE your ovary as well.  All advice is appreciated.

    Well, this may not be exactly what you are looking for...but here goes!

    I never cycled on my own before seeing the RE.  I did several rounds of clomid and injectables with no success.  My RE said we can do the surgery or move to IVF.  I chose the surgery in the hopes that I could still get pregnant by having sex.  I am Catholic and that was important to me.  After my ovarian drilling, I cycled on my own! Three times, I believe, but still didn't get pregnant.  We tried one more injectable IUI, and that was BFN.  After that, I was just done.  So we moved to IVF.  I got pregnant on the first try.  

     I really feel like it helped with IVF.  I responded so well to the meds and I know that is because of the drilling.  So I still had to do IVF, but am happy I had the surgery.

    GL!! Let me know if you have any questions about the procedure!

    I don't have an answer to your question, but wanted to say that I remember meeting you at a local Nestie GTG 3 yrs ago.   We all met at Sticky Fingers.

    No bonus points for me.  But I had ovarian wedge resection (a little more invasive than drilling) among other things in May, conceived in September.  I started ovulating only 2 weeks post op.  I had never O'd on my own before hand. 

     PM me if you have any more questions!!
