Forum: Tubal Infertility

Hello ladies, I am new here and I am looking for some advice. Here is a little of my history: I have stage 4 endometriosis, PCOS and a hydrosalpinx. I have had 2 sugeries to remove endo and cysts which during my second surgery the endo and scar tissue was so bad it took 3 doctors 30 minutes...

Have any of you ladies had success with IVF if being tubeless is your only issue? or know anyone that has? Starting IVF in a few weeks and could really use some reassurance :)

Hello Ladies, This is long but please read. I'd love to hear your thoughts. You will be floored when you read this! I'm a newbie here and would love to make new friends Basically I spent the last 9 months thinking my tubes were 100% completely blocked and IVF was my only option. I just joined...

Hi Ladies, I am new here and just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way. I had my lap surgery about a month ago, and they removed one of my tubes due to hydrosalpinx. Even though I still have one tube, and both ovaries, sometimes I catch myself feeling less womanly. I tried to explain it to...

I went for a lap with my RE and was told that there wasn't a liquid in my tubes but it was a solid substance. I was totally confused. Years ago when the scam artist Dr Br*** was around I did an antibiotic treatment similar to Dr Toth's treatment but it didn't work. I wish my dr had taken out the...

In April my husband and I got pregnant after about 7 months of trying. Although I know this is not a long time compared to others it still felt like everyone around me was getting pregnant and finally when I got pg, I was EXCITED!! Only to find out the ER though I was miscarrying...not so...after...

I was just wondering if anyone had any success stories of getting pregnant with one tube while ovulating on the side that doens't have a tube? I am on my 2nd IUI cycle and both times I have ovulated from the side I don't have a tube. My RE says that it happens but it just seems like such a wasted...

Hi all - I have been on this board for awhile. In 2000, I got pg through FET after 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. One in each tube. Well 2 years ago, got pg on my own and it ended in another ectopic in my right tube which ruptured resulting in the loss of it. Well, we did IVF last Dec, got 4...

Hi, am looking for a good Dr close to my area Dallas, Tx who specialize in Fallopian Tubes. I want to get a second opinion. Any help would be appreciated Thanks a lot Migma

Hello, Please forgive the barge. I just had a couple of questions about PTLS. How can it be treated? Is there anything short of hysterectomy to stop it? I've heard that a reversal followed by a pregnancy can be helpful. Does anyone know if a reversal without the pregnancy would also help...

Hi ya, I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct section to post in, there are so many .. I'm confused which one to choose? I lost my right tube in July '10 due to an ectopic pregnancy (kept ovary) I fell pregnant straight after, I didn't even have a period, but unfortunately the pregnancy...

Hey everyone, I havent been on here in about a year when i took a "break" after 3 failed IUI's. Recently had my left fallopian tube removed and am scheduled to start ivf towards the end of february. Any advice ?

I am new to this website and have been amazed as to how wonderful everyone has been! I was referred to this forum due to my issues. I had a HSG done last year to find that one tube is dialated and the other is open spilling fluid. Everything seems to be checking out okay so far so my RE feels...

In answer to a previous post/quesion, surgery, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and other conditions can create scarring (adhesions) which can constrict or block the ends of fallopian tubes. In some women, this is accompanied by swelling of the tube, which is called a hydrosalpinx. For years,...

Hi, I'm new to this board/site. I was just diagnosed with bilateral distal tube dilations, what they are calling hydrosalpinx. I'm very confused b/c my HSG test showed free spill (i.e. no blockages) yet my OB/GYN is telling me this is what to blame my infertility on. I'm having my OB/GYN look at...

hi, ladies: I never done HSG before and will do the test next week. I heard it's hurt so much and so scary now. Has anyone heard a doctor Daniel maklansky who is a radiologist in NYC? Is he good? Thank you so much and good luck to you all!

Hello everyone, I am new to FT but not new to infertility. I have been diagnosed with bilateral tubal blockage with a hydro tube on the left side and to top that off I also have multiple fibroids.:( So with that being said, I have been unsuccessful in conceiving. I was told 5 years ago that my...

Well had my appt with RE today...he wants to do a lap/hyster....from what he sees both tubes are blocked and fair amount of scar tissue on right side of uterus. So his plan is to take a look at both tubes, if are severely damaged remove. If not tie off. He did mention if needed balloon will be...

Hello All! I recently completed a infertility work-up (bloodwork, HSG, pelvic ultrasound, and hysteroscopy). After all, my dr. concluded that my blocked left tube and partially blocked right is probably the problem of my not conceiving. I was given two options, try clomid for a few months or...

Hi there, I am new here after just stumbling across this website, so firstly, hello to you all. I'm curious on this whole subject of 'blocked tubes' too, as last year, I too, had an HSG through ultrasound (so not the x-ray version), and was told I had one blocked tube and one partially blocked...

I met with my RE today, and we have decided to go ahead with tubal surgery next week due to hydrosalpinx. I have noticed that a lot of people have gone though tubal surgery, and I am looking for some advice. Has anyone ever had tubal repair surgery? How did it go? How long was your recovery after...

I just received my HSG results. Both tubes are patent but they are "slightly dilated." My OB/GYN has referred me to a RE. Has anyone ever heard of this being a problem? She was throwing things at me like IVF but with open tubes that are only slightly dilated, I'm confused! Thanks!!

Come to the New Users Chat on Tuesday, March 9th starting at 8pm EST to ask the questions you have about FT! How do I add an Avatar? Where should I post, where would I fit in? What does KWIM and HTH mean? Have any more questions like this or having trouble getting around the site? BCs will be...

Hello. I have not actively been trying to get pregnant but I definitely want children in the next few years. However, I've been diagnosed with a Hydrosalpinx in my left tube :-( I've been having pelvic pain and had an ultrasound done and this was the result. Now my doctor has referred me to a...

For those with one tube and "running out of time", were you advised to proceed with meds and/or IVF, or not? Did you take that advice? For those with infertility, recurrent miscarriage AND one tube...? We've been TTC for five yrs (four pg losses w/two tubes) and don't have another ten (now...
