Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hi Kristi I have heard that diseased tubes can prevent implantation rather than cause mc. It is something to do with a condition called Hyrdrosalpinx whereby the affected tube is filled with fluid. I found this on the net from an IVF homepage: Uterus checklist For an embryo to implant and to develop properly, the lining of the uterus (the endometrium), the wall of the uterus (the myometrium), and even the fallopian tube, need to be accommodating - and there need to be no technical glitches in transferring the embryo or embryos to the uterus or to the tubes. For a healthy endometrium there must not be a hydrosalpinx - if there's fluid in a fallopian tube around the time of egg pick-up or ovulation, it can leak down through the uterus just at the time that an embryo is waiting to implant - washing it out. A hydrosalpinx can be detected by transvaginal ultrasound I hope your lap/hyst went well today! tte 37 BU bicollis quick lap question Hi, I go in today for my lap/hyst, yesterday at my pre-op my Dr mentioned something about my right fallopian tube looking enlarged. She said she would look at it during surgery and see if it was diseased and then take it out since that might be a cause of m/c. Has anyone else ever heard of that, I am getting a little scared about this now. The total purpose of all of this is to get PG and stay PG, and she wants to take out a main part? I hear my husband telling me we have to go. I'll check in in a day or 2 after the anesthesia and side effects wear off. thanks kristi D,31 BU/SU - will find out today!!!!!!!!
