My story... one blocked tube...

[babyplz]

Ok girls, here's my story... I've never posted on this site, but have been stalking it for quite sometime.  I'm VERY sad and just wanted to share.  None of my close friends seem to understand, because they've all conceived successfully within a few months.  I feel I have NO ONE to talk to about this, besides my husband. --- I'm 31 and my husband (who's 33) and I have been TTC for going on 15 months.  After a year of continual disappointment, I finally had an HSG done on the 10th of January, only to be even more disappointed.  I have a blocked fallopian tube (left side).  My OBGYN suggests that we just keep trying for at least another 6-8 months.  He says my chances of conceiving with only one tube within 2 years is 90%.  Has anyone else ever been told this?  He did suggest we get a second opinion and I do have an appt with a specialist next Wednesday.  My husband only wants to wait about 3 more months (b/c of the increased fertility after HSG) and if it hasn't happened by then, he wants to go the IUI route.  I don't know much about the IUI's, but what I do know, is that my insurance doesn't cover infertility!  We're already out $1700 for the HSG!  I've been very depressed and need someone to give me a little ray of hope/advice.  Currently on CD 8.  I ovulate fine.  Progesterone is fine.  Husband's little guys are fine.  Only problem that I know of - my one tube.  This sux.  You guys seem to do a pretty good job of keeping each other sane.  It's been great reading everyone's stories, so I just wanted to share.

Ya that positive sure is hard to listen too lol... i have a hard time listening to it too!  I have been pretty sad the last few days and I don't want this to consume me but it's hard not to!!!
I hope your able to conceive still w/o ivf!  I actually think that might be our route soon because I'm so impatient and I've been pretty depressed lately!  I just want a baby so badly!  IVF is pretty expensive too and our insurance doesn't cover anything so knows when we'll get to actually do it! Do you know if your tube was blocked when you had you daughter?

i wish you the best of luck!

i guess i am a lil lucky, because my dominate ovary is on my right side but now having had that tubal, i am unsure if that makes any difference.....

just know you aren't the only one out there that has to walk this path to conceive a child!
yeah, i am one to give up lifting advice -lol- when i am sitting here soooo depressed right now, wish i could listen to my positive side.

I also have a blocked tube (my right one)  my dh and i have been ttc for 2 yrs w/ no luck.  we started w/ a fertility specialist about 4 months ago.  I've been on clomid for 5 months and attempted 2 IUI's both of which I was producing the bigger follicles on the side I have blocked =(  We only actually went thru w/ 1 of them because of this (we didn't even want to do the one) It looks like my dominant ovary is on the side that is blocked... it looks like ivf might be our only hope =(

Hello every one!

i am sorry for everyones story!
i feel really depressed right now!!!

after 4 yrs we finally conceived our daughter (2nd girl in 7 generations-even longer story behind her)

well after her we were told to count our blessings that she would be our only, so we never took precaution to keep from getting pregnant in hopes to get pregnant.

i found out i was prego in November to be told i miscarried to be told no i am prego another long story -lol

long story short i just got outta the hospital from having an emergency surgery because i had a tubal!!!

talked to my doc Monday and he said my left tube has been taken over by endometriosis and my right tube where i had the tubal was also caused by the endometriosis.... he tried to save it by just taking out the embryo and letting it heal on it's own. says he can't garentee anything but he tried, that next time i conceive will possibly be by invitro....

MY QUESTION HERE IS:

since my left tube is toast and my right tube just had a tubal does anyone think i will be able to conceive again without using invetro??

and how much does each session of invetro typically cost??

Brandy

My heart goes out to you all!!!!! this is sooooo heartbreaking!

I am 37yrs old today (yahooooo). I recently had an etopic pregnancy and I had adhesions due to my C-section 5 years ago with my son.  My doctor removed my left tube to the damage.  It has been 4-weeks since my surgery and my husband and I want to try again for another one. What are my chances.

hi there. my mums GP had five failed pregnanacies and managed to go on and have 5 healthy children on one tube. SO things can happen. Stay positive. And lots and lots of baby dust your way.
