[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back.  I had my lap/hysteroscopy and the news was not good.  Severe scarring and the doc is worried about how it will heal.  He says if we can get it 80% healed we can do another procedure; if not, I will likely be unable to get pregnant again.  I feel so devastated.  Anyone else been in the same situation and eventually had a successful pregnancy?  I need some inspirational stories.[/quote]

I'm so sorry, OP.  That sucks.

How is your dr treating it?  Ablation/balloon?  A good IF friend of mine also had ashermans and went through a 2-3 month treatment before finally conceiving. I will try to remember details for you...it definitely included a balloon (called ablation, right?) at some point.  [/quote]

It was treated with hysteroscopy to remove the adhesions, and yes, he inserted a balloon catheter for 48 hours to prevent my uterine walls from sticking together while they heal.  I am on estrogen therapy for a month which helps the endometrium heal, and then we'll do another HSG and ultrasound to see how how the cavity has healed overall.  I am trying so hard to remain optimistic but my doc has been honest that I am one of his more serious cases he has seen and that he is "cautiously optimistic" about my ability to heal well enough to even perform a second procedure, much less support a pregnancy.  I feel like I need a miracle, and I am emotionally wrecked.  I never could have envisioned, when I first started trying to become a parent, that it would come to this.  No one in my family has struggled with this and I know many women who've had multiple children by c-section.  The idea that I may never have any more children is such a blow.  I had a picture in my mind of what our family would look like, and this was not it.  It feels like someone died.  And if one more person says "enjoy the one you have" I will scream.  Of COURSE I enjoy and love him.  But that doesn't take the pain of this away.

At any rate, thank you all for your kind words and for letting me vent here.  I don't know who to talk to about this because no one in my life has gone through this and can truly understand what I am feeling.  [/quote]
