I had IVF (2x) last year but it wasn't successful. I Had multiple Fibroids and recently i was on pain on & off

Question

I just jad my Laparoscopy 22nd July,'08 and some Dye studies. My doctor find out also that i had Endometriosis and at the same time my 1 tube was Blocked also. She explained to me that i had two option: If i go on removal of fibroids (myomectomy) there is a possibility that i might have a bleeding if the veins accidentaly touched which is it happened rare, then the possibility i might be having hysterectomy. The question now, is there any chance that i might get pregnant if i'm going to do the removal of fibroids and my tube was Blocked, and the procedure will be done through IVF? Please i need your help so that we can decide with my husband. thanks!

Answer 1

I'm sorry to hear your 2nd IVF failed. Its heart breaking. I wouldg go a head and have the myomectomy done. I'm not a doctor, but I want to believe that you can still get pregnant via IVF. I wish you the best.

Answer 2

The plus is that IVF does not require your tubes to be present.. IVF circumvents the tubes so don't even worry about that. I recently had both tubes (which were blocked) and 7 fibroids (outside of my uterus) removed and will have the retrieval of my 39 follicles tomorrow (1st a nd hopefully last IVF cycle)..

The main issue to be concerned about, which was not noted here is where the fibroids are located.  If they are on the inside of your uterus, IVF may not be an option as your uterus may be damaged due the procedure.  Luckily for me they were all on the outside of my uterus.  But good luck to you and stay strong as this is a long process filled with ups and downs!!
