Help. I have been TTC for 2 years now. I went to a Fertility Clinic a few months ago. I had my bloods tested for a moth and my doc said that it was my hormones and prescribed puregon but before i could start i needed to get my rubella injection again as sometimes it doesnt last or just doesnt take. I also was told that my blood type is o- and to be careful of bleeding during pregnancy. So hopes up got my rubella and finally started puregon 2 weeks ago my doc also wanted me to get the HSG just incase. So nearly reaching ovulation went in for ultrasound all good until yesterday my doc rang to tell me i have hydrosalpinx! How? How long have i had it? I have to have Laproscopy to remove the damaged tubes! For about 5 years now i have had a vaginal dischage and have had tests from a few different doctors who couldnt tell me what was happening, is this it? Im so sad im 34 with no babies Going to see the doc tomorrow. How did i get this?
aussiejo,
I am so sorry thats has happened to you.I had my surgery at the end of October.I just had my post op November 23rd.I start IVF after Christmas.I asked my doctor about a million questions and looked up some things online.This whole thing is scary.Being told "you are not alone" does not help.I know.If you have any questions for me (a person who has gone threw the surgery and done tons of reserch) please feel free to ask.
DP has a friend whose sister had this in both tubes. They had many many rounds of IVF before it was diagnosed and she had both her tubes removed. She fell pregnant the first IVF round after surgery, after a record-breaking (for her) EPU and her best ever embie rates (there are a bunch on ice, her little boy, who is now about 5 months old, was the fresh transfer). She had (i think) chlamydia-induced PID in her teens but it was promptly treated, she had no idea the infection had lingered until now.
I hope this brings hope. It sounds like such a scary prospect, to lose one's tubes when one is so desperately trying for a baby, but with this condition it can really make a huge difference to success rates.
Hey Aussiejo,
I the other day was told after ttc for 1 year that i have hydrosalpinx (both tubes) and that i have to get them removed and start ivf! I had my appendix out and also had an abcess etc when i was younger which has caused my hydrosalpinx due to infection. I was so upset and am still coming to terms with it and how i wont be able to conceive naturally. I, too have lots of watery discharge and this my obst stated was a prime example of someone suffering with hydrosalpinx. However, my obstetrician is so positive about ivf and it is a fifty percent chance each cycle so the odds are VERY good! I am trying to stay positive. I am on the waiting list to get my tubes clipped or removed and then start ivf. Good luck with everything, i hope everything works out for u
Going to see the doc tomorrow. How did i get this?
