Re-Introduction, New Diagnosis and a Question

ChristinaV2015 · May 2016

Hello all!

So I took a few months off of the boards after my last BFN.

About me: I'm 33, DH is 35. We started trying to conceive exactly 3 years ago yesterday. Last July I was diagnosed with blocked fallopian tubes and DH with mild MFI. We went through 1 fresh IVF that was a chemical and 2 FET that were both BFN's. I really did not like my RE at ALL! So after my BFN (in February) I went back to my gyno to discuss surgery to look at my tubes. Three weeks ago I had a lap done and she found the following: my tubes were fragile but she was able to open them (praise God!), my cervix was full of scar tissue and stetonic (it was pretty much completely closed), my uterus was frozen and not in a state to accept a pregnancy and there with many cysts.

I'm glad I did the surgery bc I've now been diagnosed with PCOS (based on the number of cycts and other symptoms) and my body is ready to accept a pregnancy! But my gyno wants me to do OPK's for the next 6 months to see if I'm ovulating on my own each month and if we can get pregnant on our own. But I'm not comfortable with waiting that long especially knowing DH also has some stuff working against him. I go back in August for a 3 month follow up and don't know if I should say something! I'm also concerned with how PCOS is going to affect a pregnancy.

Would you ladies wait it out for 6 months, praying and hoping for my LO? My gyno is going to refer me to a new RE if I need to do that, so do I just ask in August?

Oh the stress (besides the fact that I'm in my TWW of us trying naturally!) Thanks for reading my novel! LOL

Hoping and praying for you always!

Welcome back! I'm sorry to hear that your journey has been so long and painful. Personally, I would not want to wait a full 6 months, maybe you could just do 3?

I concur. I would not wait 6 months for more aggressive treatment. I'm glad you found out what the problem was previously and I hope it's smooth sailing from here.

Welcome back! I agree with what the other ladies said and would probably only give it 3 months myself, especially considering there are also some MFI issues. You've already been trying dor so long so I can understand not wanting to wait another 6 months. Good luck!

If your body is ready, I absolutely would not wait 6 months unless there is a medical reason to do so! I would definitely try to find a new RE ASAP. Good luck!!

Hello and welcome. I would personally start looking for a new RE sooner rather than later--you want to take your time to find someone you are comfortable with. This process is stressful enough as it is--if additional waiting is going to make you more stressed, no reason to go through it. GL!

Welcome back @ChristinaV2015!! As a fellow PCOS diagnosis, I personally would not wait 6 months. We didn't even wait 6 months when we first started trying with no diagnosis. You know your body, and you know what is right for it. If you aren't ovulating, then you aren't ovulating! There is no point in waiting an extra three months to see if it magically happens.

I hope your time away brought you some peace.
