Hi I'm Helen, I have hydrocephalus & have a shunt my husband and I haven't been able to concieve and my gynaecologist refuses to do any further tests because of my shunt. Does any out there have a shunt and had fertility help?

I would be grateful for any info as I don'y know anything about it and I'm soo confused after seeing my gynecologist last week

Thanks
Helen

That seems weird when the Dr wont do more tests, especially without explaining to you properly so u understand the reasons why they wont do the tests. I would ring up the nurse at the gynaecologist office now while your case will still be fresh in her and the dr's mind and get them to explain it properly to u. Im sure theey will be well used to people ringing back to clarify things and u always get overloaded with info at appts like that and its easy to forget stuff they have said, or to remember to ask stuff while u are there.
