Fluid in Uterus?
I have recently been told by my RE that I have fluid in my uterus. My tubes are clear, I do not have PCOS or endo. He is taking the wait and see approach. Is there anything more productive then just waiting? He said that there is not a treatment, but I've been reading some about aspirating the fluid online. Unfortunately this seems related to IVF and we were only going to be starting IUI.

What day of the cycle was it checked? Have you had an SIS, hysteroscopy or something similar done? Cultures? Endometrial biopsy?
We re-check the sono when we find fluid. If fluid persists, I aspirate it.
Hope this helps,

I had an HSG done recently and my tubes were open and clear.Comment

I've now had the fluid for 4 cycles in a row. He aspirated the fluid before the IUI this time. We will see if that does the trick.
Fluid always present at CD10/11 u/s.
He plans to do a non-medicated cycle in April if I'm not pregnant, and a luteal phase biopsy at 7 dpo.Comment

Luteal phase biopsies have been shown to be meaningless (if they're checking for luteal phase defect). That was published in Fertility and Sterility (journal) years ago....

He said he is checking for inflammation.Comment

Intrauterine (endometrial) inflammation is best checked BEFORE ovulation has taken place, not in the second half of the menstrual cycle. Before menses, there are NORMAL, inflammatory changes taking place in the uterine lining (getting ready for shedding as a menstrual period). Biopsies to check for inflammation are therefore best done prior to ovulation.... Sorry to hear your doctor isn't aware of this.
