In Pursuit of Elusive Connections

Hi,

I am WiseGuy. You already know that?

Okay, I have been trying 4+ years.

I am not a case of RPL or Secondary Infertility. I have primary subfertility. Husband has great swimmers and I ovulate, but the grand union never happens. One of my ovaries (right) is more responsive than the other, but right one also had cysts in it.

Now, the only clues I am using to guess the reason of my infertility are vague and inconsequential.

I have a retroverted uterus.

But one thing I am now recollecting is that as a child, I used to have frequent UTI (I bedwetted).

Armed with this little information, I am researching as to why those thin red lines have been eluding me.

Retroversion is not supposed to have any impact on fertility. I had UTI as a child and I got over it after, I stopped bedwetting.

All the scooting around is not giving me any conclusive evidence.

But I found some restricted research papers that connected retroversion and infertility. The abstracts of those research papers indicate that retroversion is an ignored uterine condition which is taken very 'lightly'.

My request to you guys, if any of you can help me is -

Do any of you have subscription to IngentaConnect? Can you access research papers on it? If you could, I would send you link and request you to download the papers.

Please!

^WiseGuy^

    Hey Wiseguy,

    I may have access to it via my university.

    I have downloaded a PDF searching for fertility and uti and saved it to my desktop; it the paper authored by H. Sato, et al?

    If it doesn't work for Brenda, let me know and I can see what I can do.

    That's interesting, I have a retroverted Ute, but so far it hasn't played any particular roll in my infertility.

    Hi-
    I just found your blog from show and tell. I am sorry about your miscarriage. I am an adoptive mom who went through ART for 4 yrs. I started a non profit Parenthood for Me.org. Our mission is to provide financial and emotional support to those starting families through adoption or medical intervention. Please check out our website and blog. 2009 is the year to build awareness and the endowment. We plan on awarding grants in spring of 2010. Also, I just had an essay contest on adoption or infertility. There will be another one soon if you are interested. Please pass my links along. I look forward to reading your blog.

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough. I should have known. ...Visitors who came to see me in the hospital did not look me straight in the eye. I should have known. ...My mother sounded reluctant every time I asked her on a timeline on when my stitches would be cut and I could travel to Very Big City.

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
