Ode to a Polyp
It's so ironic how such a little thing can stand in the way of an embryo transfer. I had a little polyp that did just that. Here's some good advice to those of you going through IVF, especially if your a bit of an older chick like me :) Once identified, polyps can be removed surgically through a hysteroscopy.
Don't let people scare the beJEEZUS out of you over a diagnostic hysterscopy. I was scared out of my mind LOL And I was surprised it was NOTHING like the tearing at the cervix example I was given by a dear friend who obviously was a little bitch! LOL
Sure it was uncomfortable but I did live through it.
Overgrowth of cells in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) leads to the formation of uterine polyps, also known as endometrial polyps. These polyps are usually noncancerous (benign), although some can be cancerous or can eventually turn into cancer (precancerous polyps)
I'm guessing that this little fucker followed or either was part of the reason I miscarried in 2016, but good news ladies. These things can be plucked away and improve your chances of conceiving, especially implantation!
The stalk of the polyp (or pedicle) is usually short, but sometimes it grows long enough for the polyp to project from the cervix (the lower opening of the womb). Polyps are prone to bleeding, and a uterine polyp that develops near the fallopian tubes may obstruct the opening of the tubes, possibly leading to difficulty with becoming pregnant.
