Left Ovary but Right TubeFrom: Alaska (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 31 Jan 2001 23:09:39 -0600 (CST)
My history is: am a DES daughter have: one terminated pg 8/94 one living son 6/3/96 blighted ovum 7/99 loss at 18 weeks due to incompetent cervix 12/9/99 (verified by score of 5 on cervical strength test, good amnio results, and no sign of any bacteria at birth) tubal pgs 4/98, 5/00, 12/00 Without exception all corpus leuteum (sp?) cysts were on the left side. In December, they removed the left tube when I had the third ectopic in that tube. While I'm thrilled that we *may* have eliminated that risk, I'm wondering what our chances for conception are now that the highest functioning ovary is on the left (there is no indication that the right doesn't ovulate. Only that I have never had a pregnancy that seemed to originate from that side.) and the open tube (HSG in 3/00, although the left was open then, too) is on the right. Surgeon (mayo clinic) says that the right "looked really good" (showed me a pretty picture ;) and seems very optimistic. Here's my question: Just how common is it for an egg to cross over from one ovary to the opposite tube? I've certainly heard about it, but would you say that it's fairly rare? And how long should we try "on our own" before we ask the RE I work with (loosely. Because our problem historically has been in KEEPING the pg, not conceiving it, I haven't been very interesting to her...) to try to do something to stimulate the right (clomid maybe? I may not be a good candidate. I get cysts pretty easily.) Thank you in advance for any information you can offer.
