Pregnant with Bilateral Hydrosalpinx
by: Anonymous

Just wanted to let people know that things aren't always what they seem. I was due to have either both or one of my tubes clipped or removed due to damage and blockages. I was told that I had bilateral hydrosalpinx and that one ovary was polycystic. I was advised to seek IVF.

The operation was cancelled in August and rebooked for mid September. I am today 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant much to our surprise! After 3 years of trying and 1 miscarriage (4 years ago) its a shocker but a miracle at the same time. I had a scan last week at 6 weeks and there was a heart beat and morning sickness galore so all good so far. Last time at 6 weeks there wasn't a heart beat, so fingers are crossed.

Good luck to everyone trying! Miracles do happen!

Hydrosalpinx and a Successful Pregnancy
by: Amelia Hirota

Hi Lolo,
As long as the other tube is in really good shape and the tube with hydrosalpinx isn't leaking fluid into the uterus, your chances are still good. Of course, I'm assuming that you don't have any other problems like hormonal imbalances, PCOS, endometriosis, hypothyroidism, low sperm count, etc.

Please be sure to read Ira's story on her experience with hydrosalpinx and a successful pregnancy.

It's interesting how intelligent the body is and the adaptability of the reproductive system. Sometimes, women with one good fallopian tube will only ovulate on the healthy side. There have even been cases of an egg from the blocked tube side traveling to the opposite fallopian tube, in its quest to meet the sperm.

Generally hydrosalpinx occurs as a result of PID, gonorrhea or chlamydia, so it's important to deal with the infection, as you don't want fluid leaking into the uterus. It can negatively affect implantation.

I really recommend seeing a good Chinese herbalist to take herbs for clearing the dampness in the tubes. You want to take good care of your healthy tube.

So, I definitely know that you can get pregnant with one tube. I had a patient, who had one tube and PCOS. After a number of failed IVF cycles, she got pregnant naturally with acupuncture and Chinese herbs in only 3 cycles.

Good luck to you!

Baby and hydrosalpinx
by: Anonymous

I was told I had bilateral hydrosalpinx and PCOS last year and was booked to have one or both tubes removed or clipped. When we got there it was cancelled due to no bed! I now have a wonderful 14 week old baby girl much to our surprise. I fell pregnant naturally a couple of weeks later, so it was meant to be cancelled, obviously. I had a previous miscarriage and I think an ectopic and would have gone through anything for a baby. Let's hope miracles repeat. Even my consultant said it was a miracle. Good luck to everyone! There is always hope. xx

Miracle Pregnancy with Diagnosed Hydrosalpinx
by: Blessed

I was diagnozed with hydro 5 years ago and had given up hope of ever getting pregnant naturally. Miraculously and truly out of nowhere I found out I was pregnant and I am now 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I am over 40 and I feel like this is truly a miracle. My worry is a friend told me that I may possibly have a miscarriage because of the fluids that may leak into the uterus. I would love some input from anyone on this.

Can anyone help?

I had an ectopic pregnancy two years ago and since then had two early miscarriages. After this I had a scan and radiography, where it became evident the tube was broken and enlarged.

They think the pregnancies were terminated by the fluid maybe. In the mean time, the gyno put me on hormones to see if they would increase my egg count, which they did. Now they think I need to have surgery on the tube, but since then my period started although it was really, really light (spotting).

I did a pregnancy test because my breasts were really tender and it has come up very feint, albeit positive. Now I am scared. Could it be another ectopic? Is it a false negative? Will I go through a miscarriage again? I think I just need to go back to the gyno on Monday, but if anyone has a advice, please write a comment.

Hi Amelia, I have also been diagnosed with low ovarian reserve with an AMH test. My question is since I can't conceive naturally, whether or not acupuncture will help in my situation? Will it help with a better response to medications thereby producing more eggs with potentially good egg quality to have a healthy child? What do you think of acupuncture and low ovarian reserve? Thank you for your assistance, Shelley

In my opinion acupuncture is better than Boston IVF. I started seeing Amelia Hirota at the Center of Balance after I had gone through 6 IVF cycles with 3 transfers. My last cycle ended with a miscarriage at 6 weeks. Learn why Samantha feels that acupuncture worked better than Boston IVF for her.

Dear Amelia, My name is Heather and I've been seeing an acupuncturist that I really like here in San Diego. I recently completed a comprehensive female hormone panel saliva test and it showed that I have high testosterone levels. I was told that I have too much sugar in my diet with possible PCOS. What do you think about high testosterone levels and PCOS?

Dear Amelia, I have uterine fibroids and I had a myomectomy when I was 27. My goal in to get pregnant and shrink the fibroids without undergoing another surgery. Please let me know what you think my coarse of action should be. Learn the answer to Oneka's question, "can acupuncture shrink uterine fibroids?" and ask your own questions too.
