Has any body conceived after ovarian diathermy - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Message Board

I had been prescribed clomid for 12 months, it made me ovulate highly but no outcome of pregnancy. On the 1st may 2007 I under went an opperation called ovarian diathermy (hot rods prodded in my overies) due to being diagnoised PCOS.
Im 27 years of age and slim in build. Ive nothing wrong with my tubes and finding it difficult to find anybody able to give me their experiances. I would be very gratefull to hear your feed back.... Thanx

I havent had this process done but I was reading about it. I have a question for you? Have your spouse sperm count been checked? are you having normal periods? Also I heard it doesnt help nor cause any problems trying to conceive.

Hi thanks for your reply. Yes my partner has had a sperm count done, which we are told is high enough to populate the whole of the UK!!! I was given an appointment to see my specialist in August. After writting to him he has brought this appointment forward, hopefully to put me back on clomid. My periods were very irregular and could last for ever. Since having the op Im still waiting for a period. Ive been doing alot of reseach into ovarian diathermy op's and other peoples periods have been as regular as 35 days since having it. Do you have PCOS, if so what symptoms do you get and have you been trying or got children? From what i can gather American doctors and surgeons do not like to proform the operation. yet over here in england it is quite common and successfull. Im doing my best to think possitive.
Be nice to hear from you x

Great thats really incouraging, did you have a smooth pregnancy? I had my op on 8th may 07 and still waiting for a period. Altho i did bleed a few days after the op. My periods have always been very irregular... 3 or 4 a year. were you regular befor the op? and how soon did you get your period? sorry about the never ending list of questions, im just excited to know everything. Thanks alot for your reply x
