different opinions
July 10, 2008
Hi Dr. Q, So, I went to Duke Fertility today for a second opinion on my HSG and next step. I have two blocked fallopian tubes - one distal and one frontal.. They BOTH want to do surgery. But one wants us to wait on the surgery before we are going to conceive - I am going to move to another state for a year to finish my internship and if we need medicines or IVF we will wait till i return (if not, we will just start trying). He wants to wait because of scar tissue. But, said we can do whatever we want as if this were a boob job and we were selecting a cup size. The other doctor suggests doing it now and find out what the status of the tubes are. One doctor also read the ultrasound with "multiple small follicles on each ovary" and said "healthy" and one read it and said "PCOS". You had previously said that the ovary report sounded healthy. How do I know what to do or which doctor to go with... One is newer but really connected and the other is older and we did not connect. What would you recommend in terms of when to get the surgery? And which doctor to go with?

Usually with blocked tubes, it is best to do IVF for greater results, but doing surgery, depending on the type of blockage is also ok to do in some circumstances...
