[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm amazed by how little there is on this board or elsewhere about this issue, and I feel utterly alone.  If you've BTDT chime in so we can all support each other.  I was recently diagnosed and had a lap/hysteroscopy last week.  RE was amazed by the extent of the scarring and is only "cautiously optimistic."  I feel so overwhelmed.  I had a c-section a few years ago though they insist that's not the cause; don't know what else it could possibly be.  [/quote]

Did you try that yahoo group that I posted on the other thread?  A friend of mine (not from DC area) had extensive scarring and found that to be a good resource a few years ago.  She did go on to successfully carry a baby.  Also, IVF Connections was a great resource back at that time, but that is gone now (well someone took over the domain name so there is something there now, but it's not the same). I also know a few other friends who had a bit of scar tissue after a c/s or d&c but not extensive scarring.  They all went on to carry babies successfully after it was removed.

My own personal experience was having some scar tissue after a D&C.  My RE first suspected it after a saline sono, then removed it during a hysteroscopy.  I got pg ~4 months later.

What are your next steps - take off a cycle before trying again?

Good luck, OP.  We are pulling for you!  [/quote]

I did try the Yahoo group (thank you) but still haven't been approved nearly a week later.  It's good to hear about your friend with the serious scarring; thanks for sharing that.  I am currently on estrogen therapy after the surgery; will go on progesterone to force a period and then do another HSG to see if the uterine cavity and tubes are clear/can be imaged.  Will probably have to have a second hysteroscopy in late August/early September; then more estrogen therapy and testing.  It makes me tired thinking about it.  Meanwhile our first child is getting older, we are getting older and if we can't get PG ever again it's a long road to decide if GC or adoption are even something we want to consider, not to mention the long time frame to try and achieve either of those things.  I feel defeated and as though, if I can't ever get PG again, I just want to embrace having one child and move on rather than put ourselves (and our child) through a long, emotional process whatever it may be.  Of course, DH doesn't agree.  It'd just be so nice to hear from some folks who faced similar decisions and how they made it through.  Thanks for your kind words.[/quote]
