It dawned on me last night that my age and borderline low sperm count may not have been the only limiting factors preventing me from conceiving over the last 36 cys. Just because I had a post Tubal Ligation Reversal baby, doesn't not necessarily mean my tubes are still patent. I did have an undiagnosed subclinical infection which went untreated for a long time. I called My OB a 1/2 hr ago, and I now have an appt. for a Hysterosalpingogram on Mon. April 2 at 1p. This way I will know once and for all if there is any physical abnormality, or if it just the other factors. I think knowing the results will let me make peace better with whether I give up the fight or keep trying. So... I'm feeling a bit better today, and will know more after my appt. Hopefully I just need the cobwebs blown out.

Great to think that maybe you will have an answer and then make a decision based on the new information. I am routing for getting the cowebs blown out!

This sounds key Jac............hsg just may blow
some tissue in the way. I have read this a couple of times on
the ivf board. This certainly may be the answer your looking
for....I am so glad your doing this. You have an Einstein mind
my friend!!!!

I am praying for a stellar report!!!!

I think you're smart to have things checked out. I've also heard of people getting pregnant after the procedure. Best of luck.

Thanks Lisa. I was just having it when you posted.

Well.....my tubes are open. And the procedures wasn't that bad. I had some mild cramping, but I took Motrin 800 an hour before. I was a alittle lightheadedafter, but no big deal. Maybe we blew out the cobwebs. Here's hoping.

Only thing is.... if it doesn't happen for me in the next 3 cys or so, I think I'll have to concede that it's just not meant to be. I've been at it for.... this cy makes it 37.
