Default Ovarian drilling???

Hello I am wanting some information on a couple of issues if anyone out there have had same or close to experience please feel free to share.


Ok me and dh been trying to conceive since Jan 08 I was diagnosed with pcos in Feb. I took first round of 50 mg clomid in July 08 and became pregnant but it ended in miscarriage at 5 wks so I had a D&C done late August 08. After that I saw my gyn and she prescribed me stronger clomid 100 mg she said we would keep uping dose until it worked. She didnt moniter my ovaries after clomid so I wasnt sure if pills were in fact successful. I have a neice who went to mexico ( she is from there ) to see a fertility doctor because of trying to conceive for 3 yrs having other complications. Well she became pregnant with twins. So I decided to see same doctor in Mexico because of success story for her and less expensive for me. I explained my whole situation to doctor and have been seeing her for 4 months. First plan she wanted to do was to get me to have a period on my own without having to be pill induced and in the event that pregnancy would occur I wouldnt get af. So I faithfully had af every month since. When I do get af I start clomid and she monitors my ovaries and have had an hcg shot also still have not become pregnant. Well this is last month of trying this regiman I just got off af taking clomid now and seeing her on Mon July 6th to see my ovaries and to give me another hcg shot. If pregnancy does not occur this month she wants to do ovarian drilling in August. She said I am responding good to medication and thinks maybe my cysts might be blocking passage way for eggs to meet sperm. Ok so here are my questions... My mother had a d&C done many yrs ago she was trying to become pregnant and was not able to so she went to see her doctor and he informed her that her cervix had closed maybe from healing I dont know but he then did a procedure on her and after that she became pregnant. I am wondering if this could be something that happened to me because I have not become pregnant since M/C and D&C and have responded to clomid and shots. Has anyone heard of this? Could my cervix be closed is this possible and does it cause infertility? I would assume if someone had this happen to them that it would be difficult for sperm to pass through but then again would I not get my period either? I am looking for all alternatives other than ovarian drilling. Next question is instead of me paying out of pocket for this procedure in mex which will cost me 2500.00 if my insurance would cover it? I know it wont if its deemed for trying to conceive purposes but if doctor said it was medically necessary for health issues it then would be covered. Is this something a doctor would be able to do? I mean even if I wasnt trying to get pregnant I would still see doctor for treatment of pcos and would still have cysts that cause pain at times wouldnt that procedure be part of treatment for pcos? Any info will be appreciated...
