Laparoscopy Results

I had the result I least expected. My fallopian tubes are 100% normal! During the earlier HSG test, I must have had something called a tubal spasm that affected the results and gave a false indication that my tubes were blocked.

I'm not very lucid right now, since I'm on Vicodin. But we (my husband and I, with input from my mother) have talked about what to do next. We want to conceive a child. If we can do it without IVF, then the sooner the better. On the other hand, we may still have unexplained infertility, in which case we're back where we started.

Either way, we're still set on foster care adoption. We'll need to alter our parameters, though. For example, it's not a good idea to adopt two siblings if there's a chance we might have a baby soon after placement.

The next step is to consult with our doctor and our agency.

Despite soreness and wooziness, I'm basically happy. My uncertainty has expanded, but so have my possible choices.

Thanks! I feel a lot better. Reading about your parallel situation is very interesting. Thankfully all my tests have been covered by insurance, since they're also procedures that are used for endometriosis. If they weren't covered, I wouldn't be such a happy camper right now... basically, I just had a $5000 test to tell me that the previous $1000 test was wrong.
