Thank you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570825 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:17:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2570825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it done when I was teenager due to a large cyst that entangled the tube. Like others said, it was about a week recovery before I was back at school. I was able to get pregnant with just the one tube. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570810 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:06:24 +0000 magnoliamama42 2570810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@time2sing: I agree - if it were me and it turned out I responded well to the Clomid, I'd want to try it a few times before jumping to IVF. IVF is totally overwhelming - I imagine it's even harder if you've already got kids at home to care for.</p> <p>Well, happy birthday and best of luck! What better way to celebrate your big 4-0. Lol. :heart: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570653 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:20:10 +0000 time2sing 2570653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MAGNOLIAMAMA42 That is wonderful. I hope that you have your second without having to do IVF as well. I am thinking of asking for a second clomid challenge before IVF. I will b e 40 tomorrow but I know I can get pregnant, so I am trying to be hopeful. I am praying very hard that I do. That is such a blessing that you got pregnant before having to get to IVF. Fertility is a hard road, and I feel IVF as it is good that we have that as an option, it can be VERY overwhelming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570640 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:09:51 +0000 time2sing 2570640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EDELWEISS Thank you! I know it is possible. They know that my last 2 pregnancies were from my right side as my left was not able to function. The only reason they see for the miscarriages is that tube! I am praying that we have our healthy baby soon after! I appreciate your encouragement!<br /> :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570619 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:50:55 +0000 edelweiss 2570619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just wanted to say good luck! i had a fallopian tube removed a long time ago and was able to get pregnant and have healthy pregnancies twice with one tube. i know you already know that it just takes one tube, just wanted to send some encouragement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570600 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:38:19 +0000 magnoliamama42 2570600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@time2sing: Thanks, girl! We've had one rainbow and are hoping for another in the future. It is a rough rough ride, but for us it has been worth it. </p> <p>That would be amazing if you didn't have to go through IVF! For my IUIs following the surgery, I did Clomid and then we made sure there were mature follicles on my right side before doing the Ovidrel injections and procedures. Both times, I responded well to the Clomid and had mature follicles on both ovaries. I know I am very blessed in this - we were one IUI away from moving to IVF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570584 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:31:13 +0000 Anya 2570584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had laparoscopic surgery on my left tube due to an ectopic pregnancy. @magnoliamama42: gave some really good advice and I will second the walking. The physical pain was not nearly as bad as I expected, I was just slow on my feet and bloated. I had the surgery on a Tuesday, left the hospital on a wed and was back at work thurs and fri. Since you have a week off I think you'll do great. Good luck :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570571 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:22:16 +0000 time2sing 2570571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MAGNOLIAMAMA42 Thank you so much! That is really helpful. I am taking a week off after the surgery to make sure I get myself really in good condition.<br /> I am doing a clomid challenge right after for my first cycle so hoping that it works and we do not have to go to IVF, we will see how it all goes. </p> <p>Congrats on your beautiful rainbows!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570557 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:10:04 +0000 magnoliamama42 2570557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@time2sing: I also had my left Fallopian tube removed laproscopically. Everyone's bodies recover at different rates, but I'd say that I was feeling much better, pain-wise, about a week and a half after surgery. </p> <p>My recovery was compounded by 2 liters of blood loss (ectopic, tube burst), so it took me awhile to get my energy back. You obviously won't have to deal with that.</p> <p>For pain - the worst was the bloating. The incisions healed quickly and they used tape for them, so I didn't even have to worry about getting stitches removed. (Also, evidently blood is an irritant and your internal organs do not like touching it - who knew?! So I had abdominal pain from that, too.)</p> <p>My best advice would be to get up and walking as soon as you can, and move often (it will get the gas out). But at the same time, take it easy! Don't overdo it too soon, or you'll be sore. </p> <p>I was in the ICU on a Tuesday (just because of the blood loss) and was back at work a week and a half later on a Friday, but doing limited physical work (mostly just sitting at my desk).</p> <p>I can't give you advice on cycles obviously, since mine involved a pregnancy. I ended up having to go get a methotrexate shot 4 weeks after surgery, since my body did not want to let go of the fact I wasn't pregnant anymore.</p> <p>And I know this doesn't apply to you, since you're doing IVF, but if there's anyone else out there wondering - Seven months after surgery, we did IUIs. I got pregnant with twins on the second IUI (one embryo survived). And I got pregnant naturally when my daughter was around 9 months old (miscarried, but still - it means egg can still meet sperm!). </p> <p>Best of luck with your IVF! I hope this is a turning point for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570477 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 09:26:01 +0000 time2sing 2570477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh it is very common and I have a fully working right tube, so they know that they can get me pregnant. Apparently mine is really bad. She did say when she is in there, if they can clear it they will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570466 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 09:13:49 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2570466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no experience with this, but maybe you want to get a second opinion before surgery? Or do some Google research to make sure that removing it is the most common form of treatment? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laproscopy-tomorrow-to-remove-my-left-fallopian-tube#post-2570451 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 09:00:04 +0000 time2sing 2570451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello all! I am having laproscopic surgery on Wednesday to remove my left fallopian tube. I have had 2 miscarraige (one a MMC and the other a chemical pregnancy). I had an HSG done that showed that I had a Hydrosalpinx and my RE believes that is what has caused both of these embryos not to grow. The fluid is toxic. So they think the best bet since I am 40 tomorrow is to remove this and then move on to IVF.<br /> I am looking to see if any of you have had this done and how was recovery?<br /> How soon after did you have a regular cycle?</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
