Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Following is my reply:

1) Fibroids seem to be problem in your case for your infertility Because of below reasons: a) You have had a miscarriage which is due to possibly fibroids which probably didint allow the baby growth. b) you have not conceived after that and ultrasound shows fibroids are multiple and are distorting the endometrium.

2) Your reproductive hormonal profile seem to be fine.

3) My advice for you would be depending upon your age, fibroids and history of miscarriage. I advice you to undergo hysteroscopy to decide if fibroids are distoring the uterine cavity inside. Hysteroscopy is a simple and accurate procedure.

4) If hysteroscopy is normal, you can go ahead with IVF procedure as you are loosing out on age and you have to act fast. Please see an infertility specialist or visit an IVF centre for the above advice and details.

I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any followup queries you have.
