Married in 2004 only to find no baby on board two years later.
We see the first RE in 2006 and find I have High FSH. She missed a whole lot of other stuff.
From 2007 to 2009
- 1 Investigative Laparoscopy – find bilateral hydrosalpinx
- IVF1 – MDL that Found Ovarian Endometriosis at retrieval, fertilized, did not make transfer – BFN
- 1 Sclerotherapy that led to
- 1 hospital stay for observation due to pain
- IVF2 – MDL, super slow stim – BFN
- 1 Tubal Ligation
- IVF3 – Antagonist Protocol, almost textbook for a poor responder – BFP
- 1 Intrauterine Death at 19 Weeks No indication of intrauterine death prior to ultrasound.
- 1 D&C for intrauterine death – fetal remains chromosomally normal.
- 1 hysteroscopy with D&C – found polyp that was removed.
- 2 Sets of Blood Tests for M/C Panel
- Compound Heterozygous MTHFR. Folgard for life.
- PAI-1 mutation. Lovenox therapy.
- Last IVF (Oct/Nov 2009): 7 follicles, 1 egg, and endometriomas
The last IVF ended our infertility journey because we found Ovarian Cancer in March 2009.
MLO…it’s been awhile.
I just read here on this page that you did sclerotherapy…then wound up with pain.
Exact same thing has happened to me.
Endometriomas abound on my ovaries as well.
Can I ask where you did yours at? Dollars to donuts we were at the same clinic.
I am SO SORRY to read about the ovarian cancer. What a kick in the teeth after everything you have been through. Crap. Crap. And more crap.
MLO,
I found your blog through the BlogHer site. What caught my eye was the part of your tagline concerning Ovarian Cancer.
I’m just now starting to cue in to my reproductive issues. I’m in my mid 20s and was diagnosed with PCOS by labs (elevated FSH). My husband and I are just now planning to start a family, mostly because my newest Dr. suggested we start trying ASAP because of potential complications. I can only hope for the best. It’s a scary feeling, and I wish I could have known sooner.
I wish you all the best.
