High Ovary?

Hi everyone,
I am starting my first IVF cycle and at my ultrasound this morning they could not see my left ovary with the internal probe because it was so high. Doctor says if it doesn't come down there is a chance that he may not be able to access it during retrieval to get follicles. Has this happened to anyone? Any strategies to get it to move? The ultrasound tech said to eat more fiber. I'm so nervous it won't be ok.

    Hi!
    Mine got 'lost' a few times at the beginning of starting IVF, and it has been a pain to find it. (and some checks they just gave up)
    But on the day of retrieval my right ovary was there where he should be.
    All I know it's quite common, they move around. I sometimes had to push on my stomac to get the right one to show, and other time he was just like 'I'm here!'
    Just wait and see for the next US, he might just be there where he should!

    Best of luck x

    I haven't introed yet, only been lurking, but wanted to comment because this happened to me for my first IVF this past July. I tried Mayan abdominal massage twice before it, but it didn't come down. Needless to say they couldn't get any of the eggs off that side. In hindsight I should have asked about doing insemination since they couldn't get the eggs. As it turned out, they only got two eggs on the other side and neither fertilized.  

    We're trying again this month. One of the doctors I got a second opinion from suggested a bowel prep if the ovary is high again this month. It does seem to move around, so I'm hopefully it'll be able to be reached. If it is still high right before, I'll do the bowel prep to see if they can then push it down. 

    Good luck to you.    
    Me 38 DH 40
    TTC since Dec 2010.
    Diagnosed anovulatory, HSG clear. Slight MFI- borderline count, but excellent motility and morphology 
    Nov. 12- Feb.13 Gonal F + Ovidrel + IUI = BFN
    Lap April 13. Found blocked tube and bridged fimbria. Opened tube and cut fimbria. All clear 
    June 13  Gonal F+ Pregnyl +IUI = BFN Stopped treatment with RE due to side effects from drugs and told we needed IVF.
    Oct. 13 started Accupuncture and Chinese herbs- being monitored by RE. Getting better response- e2 and follie size. 
    Now RE says TI till March, then IUI. Fingers crossed,
