Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Hi Nix, I am calling today to get a couple more opinions on my whole situation... I am calling two different hospitals and asking for appointments with the infertiltiy specialists. I don't feel comfortable with my dr. and hoping to get the answers I'm looking for... I really want to have the dye test done sooner than 3 months even just one month earlier will make me so much happier... well thanks for all your wonderful advice... have a great day.. cheryl Cheryl > Hi again Cheryl, > > Yes the surgeon checked my other tube during the surgery, using dye and xrays. I had recently had a scan that showed I didn't have polycystic ovaries or endometriosis, and the surgeon confirmed that my uterus and ovaries looked healthy in the flesh so to speak. > > What you will find is, different Drs have different opinions. It would be interesting to see what others have been told. I really trusted the Dr who did my surgery, he seemed really clued up, so I feel comfortable with trying again. Check with your Dr to see if there is any other reason why he wants you to wait. If it is for psychological reasons, then only you can decide if you feel ready or not inside. Physical reasons you will need to ask him about. > > Please ask others what they think, this is just my story. I would want you to get lots of opinions and make up your mind after hearing all the evidence. > > I really wish you success soon > > Nix xx > > > > > ---------- > Get a fun email address at http://another.com > COOL: Personalise a t-shirt with your name/email/slogan > from 9.99 pounds.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Cheryl, I am glad you were able to sit down and think about what you want to do. I think your plan is great. Sometimes it just helps knowing that you have a " plan " you know? I did have a hsg myself and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I know others have said it was painful. Mine was more uncomfortable than anything. I don't know much about Clomid but I have heard others have great success from it!! Please keep us posted. I will be thinking and sending +++ vibes your way!! M Cheryl Cimino cimino8@...> wrote: , Thank you for your response. I am glad I went to see the specialist. At first after I left the appointment i was very confused and my head was spinning with all the information but after i sat down and thought about it all i have made a decision to which way i would like to go. I am having the hsg done in a few weeks and if it shows my left tube is ok I am going to start clomid right after and prosgestrine suppositories. THe specialist feels I have luteal phase defect so he prescribed those things. I have already had two ectopic preg. so i feel i am ready for the hsg. After my first I was patient and decided to try again on our own no tests but unfortunatly i had another ectopic. Good luck with you.... talk soon, cheryl Re: Steph > Cheryl, > you are welcome.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2001 Report Share Posted December 1, 2001 cheryl, that's the thing with cysts, they come and they go. My dr said a lot of women have them each month and don't even know it. Unfortunately, there are some of us who the cysts rupture and so we know it. I hope you are feeling better. lisa r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
