Ovarian Drilling

[Miracles]

Hi, I have PCOS and i wanted to know if any one here tried ovarian drilling as a treatment for PCOS? Does it help anyway when you are trying to conceive with PCOS.

Any advises and experiences are welcome!

Baby dust to all!

Also did any one knew if Kaiser insurance covers this?

I had drilling done in December. I dont know if it helped or not as far as being regular because I did back to back IVF's in Feb/ March and then April/May. I am in IVF #4 now.

What I can say is that my egg quality was much better after the drilling. Since there was more room for the eggs to grow, I was able to get more mature eggs. Plus it seemed to have level my hormones. I dont know if this is true or not, but in my first two IVF's my numbers were all over the place, and these past have been almost textbook.

I am glad I made the choice. I feel better about my cycles. I am waiting to see of I have a BFP from this last cycle... I hope so. Doing 4 and surgery in under a year and a half has been hard.

Best of luck!!!

Thank you for the valuable information Love Bug , I am glad that you feel better after the procedure in terms of your hormone levels etc. I am praying for you for this cycle to work. I spoke to my doctor about the procedure and he also said the same thing as you that it does level hormones and is worth trying it. I am still deciding on it since my insurance doesn't cover it.

Sending you lots of baby dust!

I have heard some insurance covers it under regular period stuff and not under infertility. I asked for mine to be covered that way rather than use of any of my fertility money. Maybe you can inquire about that? Good Luck!
