I asked to change doctors and got into an email exchange with him where he is saying the sonohistogram is more accurate than the U/S for diagnosing isthmoceles and "if I said that" regarding needing a c section, he shouldn't have.

My trust in him is pretty badly damaged and I have a new fertility clinic lined up.

Why do you need a fertility clinic at this point? My understanding is that you are pregnant (congrats!) and have other embryos in the event you desire a future pregnancy. Can you just move past the RE stage and hook up with either an OB or midwife?

Oh, the midwife picked my induction date because this OB was working at the hosp so, that may not go over well with her either. :/ Probably better to go with somebody totally new.

These seems like a lot of drama for one birth.

If I choose to have a 4th, the combination of 2 c section scars + IVF pregnancy + my habitual low anterior placenta = sky high placenta accreta risk. That is extremely dangerous, they have you bring in your advance directives when you come to deliver and it usually results in a hysterectomy. It is really a huge f**king deal. I would probably have to terminate and even that could be complicated. 3 c sections is not a walk in the park either.

I don't expect idiot DCUM posters to know this but the RE sure as hell does.

Please don’t have more kids. You are mean.

Right? It never seizes to amaze me the people who can and do get pregnant relatively easily. I have to think they have karma coming to them in another form.

You are both incredibly nasty people. Nothing about this has been easy. Ironically, I wasn't even the partner with the infertility, it was my DH. And for your information, precious, I am sparing my embryos as much as possible so we can donate the balance to an infertile couple. I view them as precious, and not as sounding tools for my scarred uterus, which is perfectly within my prerogative to do so. It says alot about you though that you would dump good embryos into a crappy uterus without a thought.

So, sending that karma right back to you.

ANYWAYS, for someone who might be reading in the future who has this problem

I had a dating ultrasound and they saw a bubble that can either be a nabothian cyst or a c section scar. Still don't know which.

Well he is right on sonohistograms being more accurate so I hope all is well and good luck!

So you didn’t waste a good embryo on a bad uterus? All that drama was for nothing.

According to this I am already at risk. Pretty much a roll of the dice at this point.

It was in the OP, here you go

So, what result do I trust? Do I get a radiologist to look at the ultrasounds? Anybody have this happen and how did it turn out?
