Hi all, I am new to the MDC community but not the infertility bit. I have one son 4 1/2 born via cesarean. The last year and a half has been really difficult. DH and I started not avoiding pregnancy in March of 2009. I chart and used FAM to conceive our little guy. After a year of TTC just using FAM, and 3 early miscarriages, we decided(Well I did) to go get us checked out. He was fine and I appeared fine. No ovulation issues, ovaries looked great after ultrasound, hormone levels were all in good spaces, and finally DH's sperm were good across the board. We waited a few weeks and then decided to get a HSG done.
After the HSG it has been totally nuts. I have a blocked left tube with the possibility of a hydrosalpinx(fluid filled pocket) Surgery was immediately recommended and I was totally against going that route. DH was very supportive of my choice to not go right to cutting me open. That was back in May...Fast forward to the end of July. 3 cycles later and we are still not getting anything to stick. What changed my mind...well DH and I did our own research and found that even women who choose IUI or IVF they usually have this surgery b/c the Hydro can lower conception and or cause miscarriages. In addition we thought about if we weren't TTC and found out I had some mass in my body...would I want it out, Yes.
Getting the surgery scheduled has been nuts. Insurance is a PITA! I had one date and then had to move it to 6 weeks later so that Ins. would cover it. Ugh! That is done and I am really not liking it but I have made a decision and am going to follow it through.
Sorry this has been so long and thank you for reading. If anyone has any advice having been through this surgery I am all ears. I have had my gallbladder out laparoscopically, but still nervous about it all.
