Current Status as of May 2013

 I'm 28 years old.  My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 2 1/2 years.  No pregnancies.  I went through several rounds of Clomid (50mg) and Premarin, with no success.  I am now currently waiting for surgery.  My right fallopian tube was diagnosed as a large hydrosalpinx, with cysts on both ovaries.  (The hyrdosalpinx is a closed fallopian tube that is dilated and filled with fluid.)  The fluids inside the tube are toxic and they are spilling back into my uterus, creating a toxic environment for the egg and sperm.  Nothing can survive in that atmosphere....Embryos can't develop because the sperm and egg don't even get a chance to meet.  The surgery I am going to have is called a Salpingectomy. The surgery is approximately 2 hours long with 3 different incisions. They will be removing my right fallopian tube completely. After the surgery is complete, I will be left with just my left fallopian tube and left ovary to try and conceive with.  The fertility specialist believe that I may also have to get back on the fertility medications after surgery in order to continue trying to conceive.  

So that is where I am today, now let's start where it all began....
