[QUOTE="donna723, post: 316459, member: 1883"] My daughter and sister in law went through the same thing. They tried for four years and nothing! She was going to her regular OB/Gyn who tried a few medications, etc., still nothing. and he finally referred them to a fertility specialist. And after all those years of not knowing what was wrong, the specialist quickly determined that both of her tubes were completely blocked, probably a result of the ovarian cysts she had as a teenager. One side was filled with fluid and scar tissue and couldn't be salvaged so he tied that side off to prevent an accidental tubal pregnancy. With the other side though, they were able to surgically remove the scar tissue and some endometriosis tissue and clear that side. After her surgery (in the doctors office) they made her an appointment for a recheck a few weeks later and she was already pregnant when she went for her recheck! And last May 1st she gave birth to their first child at age 33. I think she's regretting now that they waited so long to get help, and also that she didn't go to the specialist sooner. Her regular OB/Gyn had put her on Clomid for six months which did her no good with both tubes blocked and it wasted six months! They can work miracles these days though and there aren't too many obstacles they [I]can't[/I] overcome one way or another! They did have to pay out of pocket for some of her testing. But with her surgery, because they did find a bit of endometriosis, the specialist put her diagnosis down as "Endometriosis" and her insurance paid for it! Had he submitted it that the surgery was done for fertility reasons, the insurance would NOT have paid. If I were you, I would go right to the specialist. I'm so excited for you! Fingers crossed that it works out for you! [/QUOTE]
