Forum: Hysterectomy, Lap, Ablation & other Gyn Procedures

Hi ladies, I am new here. We have struggled for years with male factor infertility and have decided to pursue IVF, our plans were to begin in May but I had an SIS a couple weeks ago and my RE thinks he may have found a small polyp in my uterus. He was not 100% sure but said fairly sure but has...

Warning: previous pregnancy mentioned Hi everyone, I'm completely freaking out right now. I had an endometrial biopsy last week because my RE wanted to check for possible infection, since I have had 4 failed transfers, all with great looking embryos. Thankfully, the results came back with no...

I had to have a saline infuse ultrasound today. I've had an HSG before, so I thought I knew what I was in for. Nothing could have prepared me for the pain I experienced! It was absolutely excruciating. I was screaming and writhing in pain. I'm not a screamer, I'm not a wimp. I have a pretty...

I didnt know where to post this, so I thought I would try here! Before this year, I did not have issues conceiving, but issues sustaining a pregnancy. But now I just cant get pregnant. i had a miscarriage in sept and a DnC. I had an Saline US in NOV and a HSG in MAY and everything came back...

Just wondering if anyone out there has a success story they'd like to share? I have a lap scheduled for Wednesday and I'm getting a bit anxious about it. My husband and I have been trying for almost two years, and as of now we are "unexplained". We've tried oral meds with timed intercourse, and 2...

Ok, so before having my operative hysteroscopy I was looking for other people's experiences and couldn't find much so here I am writing my experience. My surgery was schedule for 11 AM, they told me to be there at 9.30 - it was an outpatient procedure, that means you get to go home after the...

Hi- Just was wondering if anyone out there had experience with this...as I will be doing an FET sometime in the next few months. But now my RE says it needs to be done the cycle before my actual FET. Is this the ususual protocol. Just dont want to snag things up, as I'll already be on meds...

I am set to have an HSG next week and am really nervous. I guess my main question is if the RE gets in there and my tubes are indeed blocked and he can not unblock them with the dye he said we would move on to a lap, but is that something that can be corrected in a lap procedure or would that mean...

Hello, I am new to this site, and came here because I needed some spport. For the past 3 years, the gynocologist has been focusing on my PCOS as the root of why I wasn't getting pregnant, and for anyone who knows, it's prety much of a timing issue- so yea, we didn't even know when we were really...

I had a Laparoscopy last Friday (04/29). I went for my post-opp on Wednesday (05/06) (no pelvic exam... just going over results) and RE cleared me for an FET immediately. He told me I could stop taking my BCP (I was on my last day of them anyway) and move forward immediately. He told me to call...

Hello Everybody! :D I am so glad that I found this forum. I am new in Miami, FL and I just switched from one OB/GYN to another. Both doctors agree that I have a polyp, but I don't feel comfortable with their bedside manners. The first one was dismissive, and judgemental; and the second one...
