Infertility

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:38:03 -0600

I have trying to get pregnat for two months. Nothing yet.

This is my results for the last ultrasound-The uterin exhotexture is inhomogeneous due to hyprechoic,posterior myometrial mass =3.2x2.8 cm. There is a second, hyperechoic mass within the fundus =4.3X3.5 cm.

The left ovary 4.9X4.1 cm and shwows a cyst =4.0X2.9 cm along with a second left ovarian cyst -1.6cm.

So far I have seen two doctors regarding this issue. The first doctor suggest to do c section and remove fibroids in order to get pregnat.The cysts the doctor is going to fpollow up after that.

The second doctor said don't worry about the fibroids and take care of cycts. They will be removed after the cycts will get more than 5 cm.

Now I am very counfused, and I don't know what to do. Please hlep me.

Thank you very much.

To Adopt Or Not?

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 06:55:44 -0600

My dh and I have been ttc for alittle over a year. I have known for awhile before that however that the journey may be in vain.

My mother had major uterian fibroids and had multilple miscarriages.

I have pcos and haven't ovulated ever!

We started the adoption process back in 2007 because we thought it could be something amazing to open our home to a child that really needed our love, but after starting the course we found that it really wasn't what we thought the process would be...so we put it on hold.

Now we are pursuing an RE and looking into fertility treatments I have an appt. in February to get a ultrasound to check my progress...but just as we think we are going to try that route the adoption worker calls out of the blue and asks if we could come meet them because they are having a shortage of foster homes and adoptive parents for kids in our area...

Now we don't know what we should do...I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason! So should we open our lives to fostering with a view to adopt? Or should we stay going down the road of fertility treatments?

What would you do?

fibroid and polyps

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 03:02:17 -0600

I am scheduled for a fibroid/polyp removal on Dec 19th. I related the events of this month (2 day period, early ovulation). could the fibroids/polyps be causing me to fast forward, as it were? If I'm still having regular cycles, (I am, this last one was a little unusual) but not entering menopause, do I have even a halfway decent chance of getting a BFP? Just curious

Dr. or ladies, is this pain normal in pregnancy?

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:32:04 -0600

Hello, I am a little over 9 weeks pregnant. I have endometriosis and used to get an ache type pain in my thighs and groin during my periods. I hadn't had that pain since the pregnancy however, I have it today (It is not near a missed period date). At my u/s at 6 weeks 5 days they noted an ovarian cyst and fibroids and said they didn't think they were a concern but would keep an eye on them. Is this pain normal? Is it something I should worry about or contact my doctor about? Thanks!

fibroids

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 08:05:32 -0500

I have two subserosal and 1 intramural fibroid- the biggest is 11 cms. So I guess I should get them removed by abd. myomectomy. I am so scared about decreasing my ability to have kids with the development of scar tissue and adhesions. Which risk is greater- miscarrying because of the size of the fibroid or not being able to have kids as a result of scar tissue and adhesions from the myomectomy

Endometriosis

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:42:25 -0500

If you had endometriosis would an internal pelvic ultrasound be able to detect the layers of endo on the uterus?? The radiologist said my uturine lining was think and she could tell it was going to shed and I would be getting my period soon.I had a Pelvic ultrasound a year ago because I was having pelvic pain and it came back normal. My HSG also detected that my tubes were open.

submucous fibroid

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:21:38 -0500

Hi there,

I've just returned from a vaginal ultra sound. Im feeling very anxious as the results didnt come back normal. The doctor who did the scan wasnt obliged to discuss the results in any great detail instead advising me to talk to my doctor. But i cant see my doctor for another 2 days! so im very concerned.

In short heres what they found.

1. Endometrium = 7mm AP. There is a 9mm posterior wall submucous fibroid.

2. Rt ovarian volume= 7.8cc,

Lt ovarian=9.5cc

Both ovaries contains multiple small follicles,? multifollicular? polycystic please correlate with biochemistry results.

This doesnt sound to good to me so but im trying to stay positive. Any light you could shed to help me understand what it really means would be much appreciated.

question regarding my mom...fibroids

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:10:28 -0500

Ok, so my dad told me that my mom has a fibroid the size of a grapefruit. She's been bleeding for 3 months straight..and finally went to the doc. She is going to have a biopsy done.

I know nothing about fibroids. She is barely 50 yrs old. What could it mean? Possible cancer?

Thanks for any insite!

Clomid and Fibroids - and connections??

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:08:43 -0500

My doctor has suggested I begin using Clomid although I am worried the increased estrogen levels may increase the size of my fibriods.

Is there any cause for concern?

confusing cycle

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:41:52 -0500

I have consistent 30 day cycles, which is good news. But I am confused- after the 5th day of my period, I get light spotting (nothing on my underwear, just when I wipe) then it goes away and then it comes back on the 7th day when I wipe and I got a small spot of blood with my finger in my uterus. by the 8th day- totally clean. Why does my body do this? When would I ovulate?

4 years and 4 miscarriages: I've been through it all, but hope is fading and my spirit is dying.

Wed, 07 May 2008 12:57:28 -0500

Here's my story...

I started ttc 4 years ago, both dh and I were 29. We didn't get pregnant for the first year so we consulted a fertility specialist/RE. We failed 2 IUI's, failed one IVF, and he suggested doing a ZIFT IVF for "better results". I did get pregnant, but I miscarried at 8 weeks. That miscarriages turned out to be incomplete and I bled for 3 months. It seemed weird to me so I went to my old OB and he said I had an incomplete miscarriage. So, I had to have a D&C anyways.

I started seeing an fertility acupunturist, and 3 months later I got pregnant on my own. The pregnancy *seemed* like it was going great - had all the pg symptoms and high HCG - but at my 9 week ultrasound they found a blighted ovum. I felt like I had conquered Mt. Everest and someone just pushed me back down!

I had a D&C the day after Christmas. 4 months later I got pregnant again, but miscarried early. I started seeing a new RE who did a Miscarriage Panel on me and found a hetero strain of MTHFR. I was put on high doses of Folic Acid and injectable blood thinners. 4 months later I was pregnant again, and I still miscarried at 6 weeks.

On the ultrasound, it showed I had a 2.5 cm fibroid (about the size of a golf ball). All my previous dr's said it wasn't close to the lining so it wasn't a problem, however this RE suggested a hysteroscopy to take a look at it. His opinion was that there was a good chance it was causing the miscarriages (sucking all the blood away from the uterus)... BUT he couldn't say for sure. I had a huge decision to make!

I was out of options at the point so I decided to have the myo in Nov 2007. It was a long painful recovery. We started ttc again in January 2008 - it's been 4 months - and no pregnancy yet. I just want to give my new uterus a "test run"! I am now contemplating IVF again because I fear my biological clock. I need to know if my body can do this so I can move on to adoption if I need to...

I feel like I have been through hell. Four years of living in the "dark ages"... countless days of crying in bed all day and feeling completely useless as a female... What makes it harder is seeing your friends who weren't even married when you started TTC having their SECOND child by now! And NOBODY understands what you are going through so it's one insensitive comment after another. It would be so much easier to cope with this if we were on our own deserted island. *sigh*

So much bad luck...

Sat, 03 May 2008 17:25:59 -0500

23, 1st pregnancy resulted in a surprise m/c at 4wks. Sad, but we werent as broken up as 2nd m/c at 8wks with a hb and everything growing perfectly. Currently going to GIVF to find out what is wrong with me and why I cant carry a child. After first meeting, doctor told us that it was probably just really bad luck. In the meantime, however, I am being tested for every single thing in the book, including genetic makeup. 2nd comprehensive meeting with doctor on the 16th of May... so we'll see how that ends up.
