New to the Bump! Loss mentioned, one Fallopian tube, have been ttc for 4 years...

hawaiiantropiccc · September 2014

Hi everyone! I have had a very long and crazy journey trying to start a family and needed some support from women who have had the same issues as I have. My story is kind of long but here it goes ....

My name is Brittany I am a young 21 years old and my hubby is 23. We are a very mature couple. I got married to my highschool sweetheart June 2014. We have lived on our own since 17 & 18 years old, my husband runs his own flooring business and we have been trying for a baby for about 4 years now.

I wasn't on birth control, & my husband and I did nothing to prevent us from getting pregnant, we wanted a little one! After about a year and a half of unprotected sex and him always finishing the deed inside of me, nothing was happening. My period would always show up each month and i started to wonder why it wasn't happening and what I was doing wrong. After another year went by I started to get depressed about it and think something was wrong. I went to my OBGYN to get checked and all she did was try to shove birth control down my throat and say I was "too young" to have a baby. Well that's not what I asked her, I asked her to help me find the reason not tell me what age I should be having a child. After seeing this doctor several times I still had no answers or no help at all. We were lost. I would cry each time my period came, and because they are irregular cycles sometimes AF wouldn't show for 2 weeks and I would get excited and then BAM, here comes my period. They were always super heavy with quarter sized clots and I would be in so much pain I couldn't even sit down due to the cramping a I started to think I had endo and wanted to get checked.

After 2 and a half years of trying, my period was late for more than two weeks, and I took a pregnancy test and my husband read it aloud, it showed a BFP

we told our families, we were so excited to start our journey, then at 6 1/2 weeks, I miscarried. I became more and more depressed. Blaming myself, crying, losing faith. My husband helped keep me strong even though he was just as heart broken that we had to tell the family about the miscarriage right after we told them the news. My heart goes out to ANYONE that has lost a little one at anytime in pregnancy. It is so hard even if I was just a mommy to be for a short amount of time the impact it left on me changed my life.

Because my periods were still so messed up, I decided to drop my regular OBGYN since she was no help and go to a fertility center for reproductive medicine. I made an appt and told them the issue and they got me in that week.

They did an internal ultrasound and she could see tissue,'which like I thought, I had endometriosis. They also found 16 polycystic cysts on my left ovary and 8 on my right. They scheduled a laparoscopy to remove the endo and do ovarian drilling for the polycystic ovaries. When I woke from surgery on July 17, 2014... My doctor told me I did not have endo. I had scar tissue built up everywhere inside my body from Chlymydia when I was way younger, that was wrapped around my liver, Gaulbladder, pelvic region, Fallopian tubes, and uterus. He removed the scar tissue and cleaned me out completely... But that wasn't the end. The scar tissue had damaged my left Fallopian tube so badly there was no opening. The dye did not flow out of my left tube at all I wasn't ovulating at all. So I had to have another surgery scheduled to take my tube out. He was scared the tube he saved was damaged inside and I wouldn't be able to get pregnant AT ALL and recommended to take both tubes out and undergo IVF treatments because he wasn't sure how damaged my right tube was and said I was high risk already and would most likely have an ectopic pregnancy and if that happened both tubes would have to be removed and I would have to do IVF.

On my second surgery to remove the left tube on August 14, I decided to keep my right tube and try on my own still, so he just removed my left tube. When I woke up in recovery I had great news. He put the dye through My right tube and it flowed through nice and easy

with no complications ! Which Means the sperm should have no trouble traveling through the tube and the egg. I am now finally healed and able to start trying to conceive again.

But the main reason of this post is to see if any of you ladies have the same issue with just one tube and both ovaries and still got pregnant ? I want to know my chances and how see how long it took any of you to get pregnant after the removal of a Fallopian tube. Thanks for reading this long story! But I feel so alone and like I was lost for so long and now that I do have answers I still feel like I am a little lost and like it still won't happen

thanks again

Thanks so much for your reply and feedback @rainbowbridge14‌ and yes they decided not to do the ovarian drilling once they cut me open because he said it would add scar tissue on top of scar tissue so that procedure was skipped thank goodness. I wasn't sure if people had an success stories in this forum because it is for ttc but I was hoping some women can relate to what I have been through and see if they were told any type of good news about conceiving after tubal removal. Again thanks so much for the tips and feedback !

Also I do not have PCOS just polycystic ovaries thank goodness !

hawaiiantropiccc · September 2014

Yes he has, nothing is wrong with him as far as we know! And what do you mean by overstimulation? Thanks for the reply love

Welcome! You definitely have been put through the wringer, and I'm pissed that your first OBGYN gave you horrible care. It's not her place to judge your decisions -- it's her job to keep you healthy. You were definitely mistreated and it's not right.

Overstimulation is when your doctor gives you drugs (Clomid, Letrozole, etc) to induce ovulation (a lot of us are on them). Because you are polycystic, you might release more eggs than intended.

In your shoes I might try a few cycles with monitoring (to see if you are ovulating on the correct side) with timed intercourse or IUI. You've been waiting long enough for IVF to be a serious option, if finances aren't a roadblock.

At any rate, I'm really glad that you found us.

YES !!! I was so pissed too because even the fertility specialist said that if she did her job and actually cared to help me the tissue wouldn't of been as bad as it was if she would've caught it earlier on instead of shoving BC down my throat. I was highly livid about it and my husband wasn't going to take it much longer. The doctor said since I have both ovaries I will still ovulate each month but I do chart my cycles down to help and it does help a lot even though they are very irregular which makes it so much harder. You guys have already made me feel so much better like someone actually cares, I don't get that a lot, and to get it from complete strangers who know what I'm going through really means a lot. Thanks so much

No ma'am i do not have PCOS they were scared I did but blood tests came back negative for PCOS !

BunnyBerry · September 2014

Welcome, I am glad you found us. So sorry you had to experience that awful OBGYN's malpractice, and even worse that she left your PID scarring untreated. Thank heaven for your wonderful RE who is taking good care of you. And congrats on your healthy, clear right tube!

Agree with PPs, you probably want monitoring to make sure you have an egg on the right that cycle, and then I would also ask the RE about using IUI since you've been trying so long.

I also have polycystic ovaries (and according to my labs and the RE I do not have PCOS, although I have the extra body hair but it might be due to the steroids I have to take). I have had a slowish response with 1 follicle (maybe 2 this time) on Letrozole 5mg. Perhaps ask your RE what he thinks about drugs?

Best of luck with whatever you choose!

I'm not even a reg over there, but you need to apologize for the hateful and disgusting comments you made towards TTGP. I'm absolutely horrified by what you said. I will NOT repeat them here, but you know what you said.

hawaiiantropiccc · September 2014

Thanks love ! I will ask about that. Best wishes to you !

BunnyBerry · September 2014

@theholmanherd I will repeat them because I feel tricked and blindsided. We take care of our own over here and you can't speak that way to our mod @nariadreaming and then come to our board looking for support. I'm sure you will be banned shortly. But know that your bullying and straight out emotional abuse directed to infertile women's most tender place will not be tolerated. Yes, you hurt many people tonight and got a lot of the attention you were looking for. But you lost the opportunity to share your story and become part of something beautiful that we have together.

***WARNING - triggers and hateful comments from OP's TTGP thread***

[to Naria, who simply called out OP for claiming some women don't deserve children] - DO NOT fucking come up here with some attitude on a pregnancy post cause I won't be having it. Thanks

Ok then don't what the hell? give your thumbs a rest and stop acting like high schoolers

Clearly have nothing better to do sorry ladies go get pregnant or something

No or I can say fuck all of you lol god so stupid

Hahah bitch y'all are on MY post y'all get the fuck outta here! Haha man all this stress can cause a miscarriage watch out

God I hope I get banned please I've been trying to delete my shit due to all y'alls stupid nonsense this is the worst pregnancy app I even have with the worst women to talk with.

Maybe that's why y'all aren't pregnant cause all this stress raging over baby social networking lol PLEASE BAN ME lord

Champs28 · September 2014

I am disgusted. I read the ttgp thread unfortunately. I have some advice for the dear @hawaiiantropiccc‌ - grow the fuck up. Maybe you didn't mean to insult everyone by implying that some people don't deserve babies. Maybe it was just received wrong on the internet. Say sorry, explain yourself, and move on. No harm no foul.
What you did was sickening. Personally I think you're a liar. No self respecting woman going through IF could have made those comments to other women. According to your info in your post you started ttc when you when 17 years old? And maybe you did ovarian drilling and then oh wait you didn't? I'm calling troll

Also, please learn to spell. Seriously. MEANT not ment

Champs28 · September 2014

@NariaDreaming‌ and let's just throw in chlamydia for good measure

theholmanherd · September 2014

She's gone!

Radiantly · September 2014

Wow ladies way to rock it. I would have had no idea because I'm not on the TGP board. Just this one and TTC35+ which has almost zero drama as well.

I am equally curious. I didn't think anyone even used the social groups!

blessed2585 · September 2014

I am so sorry to hear about everything you have gone through. I can imagine the stress that you have gone through and the heartache. I don't have a similar story, but I will keep you in my prayers and send you lots of baby dust!
