Ovarian drilling… what is it?
Question:
Ovarian drilling takes the place of the "old" method of ovarian wedge resection to treat Polycystic Ovaries. It is intended to "take away" some of the cysts that are putting out too much estrogen(?), thus getting your hormones back in order. There are risks: possible adhesions(scar tissue) which happened to me, from a resection, and now our only hope for a bio-baby is IVF due to severe recurring adhesions that have pinched my tubes closed. hope this has helped you. prayers to ya’ll! Jim & Tam in Houston, Tx. trying for 10 yrs.

I spoke to my RE today after receiving my monthly pest yesterday. I have been trying almost 2 years. Gone thru 7 months of 150 mg clomid, 5 IUIs w/HCG shots and last month premarin. I produce usually 2 great size follicles. Last month there were 3. But nothing has happened and DH has enough sperm to populate the world a million times over!! Last month he said to think about injectables but my husband works for Bell and they maybe striking in August so I decided to hold off on ALL treatments a few months. Plus I need the break. Anyway, The RE also said we could first try ovarian drilling? Please tell me what the hell that is? I’m not an infertility expert but I read books and this newsgroup but never heard of such a thing. Is it safe, sure doesn’t sound it. And will my chances be better? He also said to do a lap. I guess he wants a human guinea pig!! I’ve seriously considered going to another RE. Any help is always appreciated.
