Infertility Support Group
In vitro fertilization is one of the most common and utilized ways of treating conception problems. This support group is dedicated to those beginning their journey with IVF and needing support. Join the community and share your experiences, advice, and story with people going through similar challenges starting a family.
I joined this site a while ago and I guess I really thought it would be helpful to read other peoples experiences and posts to learn as much as I could.
I was told I had partially blocked tubes one with hydrosalpinx, I have been waiting for a Laparoscopy to have a better look and possibly clip the tube with hydrosalpinx as it can drain into the uterus to make it a hostile environment for an embryo.
I went in hoping I would come out with a hospitible womb maybe with one healthy tube and maybe get preganant..........
Instead I came out with both tubes clipped, so basically Im now sterile!!!
I am on the IVF list for next August so obviously there is hope but this has been such a twisted journey so far. Starting off with all the hope in the world and everyone telling you you will be fine if you think positive and that I'm so lucky i'm young.
Then you have one tube blocked and one fine (yay!!) then they telll you actually the one thats blocked is making your womb hostile??
Then they say actually your 'ok' tube is actually partially blocked too.
Then by the time I got to laparoscopy she tells me that the blocked one leaves me in danger of ectopic pregnancy so I agree if she finds it to be the best course of action she can clip both.
So now I'm left with no hope of a naturally concieved pregnancy ever!!
dont really know how posting on here will help me but dont really know how to feel and thought this may help somehow??

We are all here for you in you need anything! Big Hugs!
I know a little bit about what you are going through. Had my first lap in April and came out missing one tube. I felt robbed because they of course said something could be needed, but I never throught my tube was impacted.
Now X months later, I'm having the other tube removed a week from today. We can do it.
I know we can.
I also know what to feel: pain. Sadness, anger, dispare, heartache, scared, nervous...I feel all of those things and if I think about it too long I'm a mess.
So then I turn numb.
It's too scary for me to think about the possibility of this not working. I have to take my losses and run with it for now.
The good news is that you are young!! My doc wishes I was your age. IVF can have a high success rate, especially if you are younger.
Q: do they know what caused the blocked tube? Do you have endo or did you have another condition which caused the blockage?
Big hugs, i'm with you and we can figure this one out together...
I think also because my Dad has had a lot of health issues and been in and out of hospital, as well as myself having had a lot of involvement with hospitals for my lupus and such I am pretty staunch about it.
I havnt really had a good cry about it yet as I feel like its of no benefit!
But your kind words had a few tears flowing. I feel like if I start crying about it I'll never stop. I just have to take each new kick in the teeth one at a time!!
So, crying. my shrink taught me to cry. I also thought I'd never stop. But you can find a trigger to help you stop if you want.
For me it is swearing. :-) So I let myself bawl, and then I start saying 'f- that! this is so f-ing rediculous' and voila. Tears dry up.
You have a trigger too. Or if not, I think your most recent surgery definitely warrents a good 2 hour crying session. Sad, but true.
Big hugs. how are you healing? has the gas hit your shoulders yet? Ugh, I hate that feeling.
I wonder though if you can tell me something, my period is due soon and I was wondering if its gonna be extra sore because of the surgery??
