Does anyone else have this diagnosis? It's when ur tubes r blocked and clear fluid builds up. The research I've done shows lower IVF rates due to leaking of the fluid into the uterus. I'm thinking about getting one of my tubes surgically removed bc it's the worst one due to a tubal many yrs ago. Any thoughts/experiences?
I dont get a full run down of what she did in there until 6 weeks post surgery which seems a long time, but she did give the nurse the pics which showed clearly that both tubes were clipped!
I should say though that as far as I know I dont have endo, although she was gonna look for signs of that while she was in there, I just have hydrosalpinx in one tube and fimbral occlusion (blocked end) at the other side. Apparently most likely caused by untreated infection at some point causing scar tissue. Since I have Lupus (autoimmune disease) I am prone to inflammation.
2 weeks since my surgery today and I'm fine really, my incision sites are a little sore at times, I pulled my stitches out today because they werent dissoving and everything seemed to be healed.
I havnt really taken it easy either, I was back to work on friday(after a tuesday surgery)
Glad you are both okay
Had a cool thouhgt today. . . . we never have to worry about whether we are making a baby or not when we have sex ever again!!! We can just have sex purely for fun again!!! :-)
PS might be being dumb but what would an Om tattoo refer to???
My scar is a little + sign just above my hair line
Nedico, an om is a yoga symbol which Is used in meditation as a way to relax, and remind ourselves of our existence. :-)
In truth, I am too chicken for a tattoo, giggles.
Btw, soooo glad to hear you don't have endo, yeah!!!!
So I have the week off and am enjoying it. Haven't driven in a car, done chores, or anything strenuous. The only bad thing is I am exhausted at night when my hubby gets home, but wide awake during the day. I even took a Vicodin to see if it could relax me a bit more. No luck.
Bleeding continues. Ur right nedico, I think the goo was dye or something. The bleeding now is normal period stuff. I see the fertility guy tomorrow, yeah! Called the surgeon today to learn more about my cyst pathology - still no news. Baah. How big were they? Were they chocolate cysts? Nothing.
Tgratton, when is your post-op appointment? I see the surgeon next Wednesday or was it Thursday?
Nedico, 6 weeks is a long time, wow. Sorry to hear about your lupus too. Endo is similar in ways to an auto-immune condition, so I can relate...but not completely. Ugh, diseases suck.

It sucks having a period though.....knowing you cant possibly get pregnant, but I know they are a good sign the body is still pumping out the eggs!!!
