For those of you who have already had Essure placements, how long were you told to wait before trying IVF? I have waited three months and just had my HSG. My tube is completely occluded. To my surprise, my RE advised me to wait at least another three months before trying a FET. She is worried about the two coils left at the opening of my uterus and feels it will take more time for scar tissue to cover them. Now she has worried that the coils will cause complications during pregnancy. I also don't want to wait any longer to move forward. Anyone with positive Essure/IVF outcomes?

Hi Andrea! I had the ESSURE procedure done in February of this year. My IVF doc told me that I could start meds before three months if he could tell that the coils were in place by ultra sound. I know that an HSG is typically done at 3 months, but he was eager to start and said as long as I wouldn't have the retrieval/transfer until after the three month mark, I should be fine. I decided to wait a little longer due to unexpected family events, but am finally going forward with the IVF now. I officially start meds next Wednesday and should know by the end of July if everything works out ok. Sorry I don't have a success story to share right this minute. Hope this was some help. :/
My Dr also wanted me to wait 3 months before going forward with IVF. He performed HSG at 3 month mark and was just looking to make sure the tubes were blocked. He said in his experience any coils in the uterus didn't have any impact on Pregnancy or IVF. In our case, however, we did essure placement last September and I'm just going through my first IVF cycle right now, but this was due to waiting for grant funding...
Thanks for the responses. I sure hope the coils have no effect, because my recent attempt at a FET was a success!!! We are only 5 weeks along, but hoping this will result in our take home baby. It has been four long years of trying. Looking back, I am so happy I took the time to have my hydro blocked. Lemon and Beth- Sounds like you both are going through IVF right now. I hope you both have success!! Best of luck!
Congrats Andrea! What great news! I actually have an appointment this Friday to see if its ok to go ahead with FET. My fresh transfer got canceled b/c they retrieved too many eggs and it increased my risk for hyperstimulation syndrome. Anyways, hopefully I will get this same great news soon! And Congrats again! I'm so happy for you!!!! Smiler
