Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had four follicles ruptured from my left ovary and one from the right. I have had IUI back-to-back for two consecutive days. But my major concern is I have a unicornuate uterus with a left rudimentary horn. I recently had a lap because I had a cyst on my right ovary. The doctor says I have been ovulating perfectly every time. I am depressed abt the fact that the left tube is absent, but four follicles ruptured on the same side. Please give me some hope of getting pregnant. The endometrium lining is 9 mm, which the doctor said is very good. And this is my first IUI after lap.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

How are you doing?

I do not see any reason for you to worry. The movement of the egg into the fallopian tube is chemically controlled or attracted. So, no matter which tube is open or blocked, the egg falls into the peritoneal cavity or the space around the uterus. Then, it will be sucked into the open tube. So, you have a chance of pregnancy.

Your doctor will have more jobs to do after you get pregnant, with lots of close monitoring and medications. Your chances of getting pregnant are on par with any other lady.

So, just hope for the best and pray well.

All the best.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
