To Kelly, Shannon and Brenda regarding lithotripsy--I'm glad that you had positive experiences with lithotripsy and your stones and symptoms were relieved and your fertility not compromised. However, I think it's best to be informed as to the possible risks, which include teratogenic effects, damage to the ovary as a result of scarring, or tubal obstruction caused by hemorrage. By googling "lithotripsy in women of childbearing age" you will find that most medical journals and reports advise against it.
