Awaiting ovarian drillingFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 5 Feb 2002 07:54:17 -0600 (CST)
Hi, I have had irregular periods for as long as I can remember which over time have become absent (am now 29) Having stepped up the dosage of clomid to the maximum over 6 cycles (along with metformin) i still failed to ovulate. My ultrasound showed slight follicle development but nothing significant. I then tried one cycle of menogon (injectibles) which also failed to stimulate my ovaries. The ultrasound showed many follicles, all of which were <10mm. My mother had PCO and my doc has told me that I display several characteristics of it. I feel very dis-heartened as menogon is apparently a very powerful drug which succeeds to induce ovulation in about 80-90% of patients. My doctor has suggested laporoscopic ovarian drilling followed by a second cycle of injectibles as apparently the ovaries are more responsive to the drugs after drilling. Opinions on this procedure seem to differ, some with very good results and some with bad, including scarring, adhesions etc. Can anyone offer any advice please, as other than egg donation I feel that this is my only option. Thank you! Paula
