Kathy there are 3 clinics in the Greater Vancouver Area, and all three have good individuals. I would strongly suggest going to one, to discover your ‘ovarian reserve’ through a cycle day 3 blood test and ultrasound.

For more on cycles you might look here: http://www.fertility.ca/2008/06/how-your-menstrual-cycle-reflects-your-egg-quality/ and for how to ‘improve’ egg quality, i’ve started a post here: http://www.fertility.ca/2008/05/how-to-increase-your-chances-of-releasing-good-quality-eggs-2/

Dear Nadia

I hope that, by the time you read this response, you are pregnant.

The best non-surgical test for assessing your uterine cavity is a “3D sonohysterogram”. You could consider asking after this test, now that you are postoperative and well healed. Sometimes, a septum is large enough that it needs to be resected a second time….

You asked after your tubes. The sono may be able to help with that too. The gold standard for confirming that tubes are ok would be laparoscopic surgery….but as you say, you used to achieve pregnancy quickly and the surgery should not have compromised your tubes.

I would therefore start with only the sono test.

I too am trying to get pregnant and have been for a yr. I have 3 children from a previous marriage and my youngest is 11. My husband has no children (of his own)and he is so wanting to have a child. I have never had a problem conceiving before. Although I am now 40 yrs old and my cycle has changed from every 28 days to 26 days and for the last 2 months its been at 24 days. Is there anything you can suggest and or a referral in the Vancouver area. Thanks for your time! I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely
Kathy Donahue

My husband and I are just at the very beginning of our fertility journeyresearch. This site is wonderful. I really appreciate how you explain things in simple terms that I can understand. Its easy to get overwhelmed in medical terms that mean nothing to me. This clinic certainly seems like you really care about the patients needs and that truly is a selling point for me. Once my husband and I get our barings a little I would no doubt be interested in coming into your clinic for more inforamtion
