I saw my new RE Monday. He showed me a black area that was fluid. He said fluid is only seen after ovulation (I was CD8) and that it could be endo. Also, when he moved the wand around on my left side I had a lot of sharp pain. I have suspected adhesions because of past infections (longtime Trich - which is supposed to be a "nuisance" infection, and ureaplasma, which I just got retested for Mon.) and b/c my HSG 03/05 did not go well. The radiologist had a hard time, said my uterus was severely tilted, balloon on probe popped before they knew about my left tube (it had almost filled when there was too much pressure and it popped). My old RE (saw from 09/05 through 01/06) thought it was clinical error. He did an ultrasound in Sept and said everything looked fine.
The new RE ordered an endo biopsy - they will see if I have a sticky substance that captures the egg (he said he finds many of his patients do not have this substance - and usually that's b/c of endo).
Sooo, I have a bad feeling I do have endo or adhesions from infections - I am almost certain of it due to the HSG and this ultrasound. But, I feel optimistic that this may have been my main ttc problem and maybe I'll be OK. I've been ttc #1 since Jan '04 and have dealt with Trich, ureaplasma, and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I have always had regular cycles and ovulation, plus my hormones are all good, so I'm thinking my thyroid levels weren't that horrible, but maybe there are physical things causing problems. I know my right tube is good, but maybe there are some adhesions there too. Or maybe I mainly O from the left side, which is probably all scarred up.
The weird thing too is that last yr I asked an online psychic (free) for the heck of it (no I am not a psychic freak and don't believe what everyone says) about my health. She said my lungs are the healthiest on me, but she sees scarring in the reproductive area
Anyway, I am eager to get going and I would love to get a Lap asap, although I am nervous about that.
Just wondering if anyone had similar findings from an ultrasound and/or Lap or has dealt with any problems like mine.
TIA
