Third-Party Reproduction

Had the meadow mowed

Nicole went in a few days ago to have her two polyps removed. According to testing the polyps were half the size of her ute. It took about an hour and she came out fine. She was just sore but a few doses of 800 Motrin took care of that.

Turns out there weren't just two. Her whole ute was covered. We saw the before and after photos. The Dr couldn't even see her ute lining when they started. There were something like 15 but it looked like it was covered in puffy clouds. The Dr said she had a meadow of polyps.

Sure glad they found this before our next cycle. There is no doubt now why we had those two early miscarriages and didn't get anywhere with our IVF. No, the RE never checked with a camera before and the polyps were so thick it could have just looked like an extra thick lining on the scans.

Re: Had the meadow mowed

  • Wow! I'm sorry it took your doctors so long to find out about the polyps! Hopefully this "clears the way" for a happy healthy pregnancy.

  • I too have a ute that likes to grow fluffy meadows!' I had a couple of medium size polys and we found them after our first DE FET and I had a etopic miscarriage. So I had a hysterscopy done and had then removed before this last DE FET. I did just have another miscarriage but so glad I had those polyps taken out. Glad they found them and for everything clear in there for her next FET. Good luck to you both!
