I am sorry about your chem pg. But I have never heard anyone say sperm can't

reach the egg because of the shape of your uterus!!! The sperm don't care

what shape your uterus is, they just follow it!!

I've never heard of lectrosol, so no opinion there. My RE was hesitant to

begin injectibles due to the increased possibility of multiples. And I am not

about to reduce. I used Clomid and finally conceived on my 6th cycle, with a

rest cycle after the 4th. I did have vision problems with it though and was

going to begin using injectibles the next cycle. I asked my RE if she would

recommend beginning with Clomid when we want to try again or going straight to

the injectibles like we were going to use with my son. She said she would

recommend Clomid again and hope that I wouldn't have the same problems I had

last

time.

Well, other fertility problems affect us, probably about the same rate, as

women with " normal " uteri. In my case, I was annovulatory. The Clomid worked

for me, but my RE said it could take longer due to only having the one tube.

That's a considerable factor in getting pg with a UU. I wish you the best of

luck, and that once you are pg your most difficult problems are over.
