Should I be pushing for more investigations

[katlil]

Hi all, will try and keep it brief but I'm sure as many of you ladies know pcos seems to be a long hard confusing battle but will try and keep it brief. Diagnosed with Pcos around age 20 and fluid in fallopian tube more recently. Periods non existent. Pain daily.

2011: Internal Scan, was told one of my fallopian tubes was wrapped around my ovary.

2017: Internal Scan- I mentioned to the lady doing the scan about fallopian tube issue mentioned previously she said it' very difficult to see the tubes from this type of scan but that she had seen in my notes that the scan in 2011 had showed my fallopian tube had fluid in it (news to me) so she would see if she could find it again and she did and said the same.

Went back to GP for official results and she said scan had shown fluid in my tube but no change from 2011 and it wasn't of any significance so no further action just that she would write back to the gaeno who'd requested the scan.

Now here's were I'm struggling......if the internal scan barely shows the tubes up as its not designed to look at the tubes how can they know this blocked tube is of no significance without further testing? Should I be pushing my GP to have this investigated further as ive read about many ladies having the tubes tested to check the blockage. Im booked in again on 5th Dec to see GP as I'm not happy with that outcome just wondering what othwr ladies views on it are as to whether I should be pushing for further tests? Thanks

I dont really know what 'fluid' means in a tube, is it classed as a blockage, is the sperm able to get up that tube - I think you need further clarification as to what it means, it sounds like perhaps it isnt blocked as is just fluid but not too sure what that actually means in TTC terms so yes I would ask for further clarification as it is not clear at all.

What is your BMI currently? Has your partner been tested, if not I would ask for this to be done just so you can have confirmation that his wrigglers are working as they should as it may well be him that is the issue rather than you.

Just thought I would add to ignore the ticking clock, our egg quality remains better for longer (the only good think about pcos) so you have many years before it becomes a real issue. I conceived Noah when I was 36 and he is now 11!
