Devastated but hopeful
My OBGYN convinced me (25f) to do an exploratory lap. I had some cysts on ovaries. We also knew I had a pretty severe bicornuate uterus. Lap revealed extensive stage 4 endo. It was covering my bowels, bladder, ovaries and uterus. My left fallopian tube was removed. She said my right fallopian tube was “hanging out by itself” and unaffected. My ovaries were shifted due to the severity of the adhesions.
My OBGYN called me and told me she recommends IVF and that it is unlikely if not impossible for my husband and I to get pregnant without IVF. She reported she did “the best she could.” She said she doesn’t see how it is physically possible with how severe my anatomy is altered that I could get pregnant. It was tough news hearing this, bc I was hopeful given my unaffected tube and her taking care of the majority of the adhesions it would be more likely for us to conceive.
I’ve reached out to a few IVF clinics in DFW. But before we throw money down the drain on that, I want to check in with an endo specialist in DFW to make sure my body is ready for pregnancy. Any recommendations? Also any stories of hope of people being told they could never have a baby and ended up able to are so encouraging for me to read right now.
