i have hydrosalpinx in both tubes and am getting them removed before ivf but worried it might reduce my ovarian reserve

Hi there, I did! We had a really good turn out for our IVF after the surgery, got 7 blastocysts all top grade except for 2 if memory serves, and very grateful now to finally be a mama too ❤️❤️

Best of luck 🤞 I’ve got a few posts with loads of comments for advice on the surgery if you need it or message me ❤️

Thx so much. Was your amh affected after surgery at all and did you have both tubes completely removed ?

[Emilye92x in reply to Vivibeatris]

I only had one AMH done and it was after the surgery I can’t remember what it was but definitely within normal range, and yes I had them both removed

so it did not impact egg collection numbers then great

Have you discussed your concerns about ovarian reserve with your consultant/clinic ? It may help reassure you

Take care

Hi, I have bilateral hydrosalpinges (found after a hysteroscopy and a laparascopy) and at my fertility appointment today the doctor said that if they could see it via a transvaginal ultrasound then they would definitely recommend removing it beforehand because of all the risks involved but given how swollen the tubes were and the pain it was causing me - if I wanted to get my tubes removed because of the issues - even if they couldn't see it on the ultrasound - she didn't think it was a bad idea - overall as long as it is safe for them to remove it - I can go ahead and get it done - it would probably be beneficial in the long run.

Saying that I didn't have a conversation with her about egg reserves but from what I've read it shouldn't have an impact?
