I'm so glad I found this forum. Thank you for giving such useful information and thoughtful responses.
My question is... should I request that my RE do an exploratory laparoscopy before my next round of ICSI?
Here is why I'm asking...
I had surgery (laparotomy) for severe endo about ten years ago. I never had any pain or irregular periods. I had one incidence of pain that, after several drs. trying to tell me it was "gas pains", was discovered to be a cyst on my ovary. When they went in to remove it, they found endo "everywhere" and had to do open surgery to remove it all. I did six months of lupron after that, and bcp since then.
When my husband and I began trying to conceive, we assumed our failure was due to "leftover" endo issues. But, his SA revealed horrible morphology (0-2%), and moderate motility and count issues.
We've had 3 failed IUI's and one failed ICSI.
Since we've discovered our male factor issues, the drs seem unconcerned with any possible problems on my side of things, and I am worried we are overlooking something important.
Should I insist that a lap. be done before we begin our next round of ICSI? Also, my clinic does not include lupron in their protocol.
(by the way, I responded fast, too fast, to the meds last time... I did ER after only 5 days of stimming). Lots of eggs, medium quality embryos.
I would really appreciate your input. Thank you,
"Scout"
