Infertility - Getting to Know You
Just thought it would be nice to list your name, age, DH's name and age, what your diagnosis is, and what your plans are.
Name/Age: Susan, 29
DH Name/Age: Joe, 37
Infertility Diagnosis: Blocked Tubes
Course of Action: Canalization Surgery next month, if successful will TTC naturally for 6 mos. If unsuccessful, will explore IVF (no coverage) and/or adoption. IUI not an option bc both tubes are blocked.
Next?

Infertility Diagnosis....Havent been to an re yet but have our first appointment in August. So far, I havent gotten my period in 7 months and show no signs of ovulation. No idea as to why.
Course of Action...For now we will see what the doctors say and go from there. I am thinking I will need clomid to help us along but I would really like to know the REASON as to why this is happening.

Name/Age Gary 41
Infertility Diagnosis--Underactive Thyroid (put on levothyroxine a few months ago). I only have 1 tube on my left side....looks like the right tube never fully developed. Which also effect the uterus in that both sides did not fuse together to make it complete...so my uterus is smaller than "normal" basically would be impossible to carry multiples.
Course of Action--I am on my 3rd cycle of IUI this month. For the first 2, I just did chlomid. For this cycle, they added estrogen to make the lining thicker (they beleive that the smaller uterus is causing a thin lining and then the chlomid is thinning it out more). I go on Thursday to see if my follies are ready for this month.

Re: Infertility - Getting to Know You
I am bumping because I am new on this board.
Judy-35 (pushing 36 this July)
Greg-32
TTC- ON and Off for about 1 1/2 to 2 years. We have been doing a lot of moving around and there has been job changes. Now, I am ready to actively start trying.
Diagnosis-blocked tubes, fibroids, thyroid, possibly PCOS (i need confirmation from a doctor)
I had one ectopic pregnancy(non tubal). I had a laporoscopy and DNC. And a shot of methotrexate. At the time of my LAP, I was told that my tubes looked good. So now, I am almost certain that it is scar tissue that is blocking my tubes.

I am the last person to ever want to give false hope. But someone on here was once diagnosed with block tubes only to have a repeat HSG before surgery and learn they were just spasmd shut. When was your lap?
