  From all the great advice and research I've done when I was told I had a hydro, you should have it taken care of for your own health.

  Do you mean non-pregnancy related health? I haven't heard or read that it affects health at all except for pregnancy..
  

  
  

  Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004
  

  
  

  July 2006: started TTC
  2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
  2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
  October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
  Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
  January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
  February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
  March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
  July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
  August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery
  

  
  

  IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
  

  IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
  IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
  IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
  IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
  May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
  IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
  May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
  

  June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
  IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
  September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
  October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
  November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
  November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
  December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
  December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
  IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN
  

  
  We are done with treatment unsuccessfully.

  Some REs are very conservative, and understand that to some people IVF is scary. So maybe he wasnt sure how you would respond and wanted to maximize the results with IUI before moving to IVF?? IDK... but if you like the idea of it GREAT!

  Thanks! I did ask if the hydro could still get worse and require surgery in the future, and he said that it's possible but hard to say so if I didn't move forward with IVF for another few months then he'd want to do another HSG first. But for now he's good moving forward so that's the plan!
