My Story/Intro. (long)

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies,

I guess the post I tried yesterday never made it for some reason - so here

goes again:

My husband and I decided to start ttc #1 last April. After going off bcps,

I became pg in June. In August, I had a d & c for a blighted ovum. The

OB/GYN I was seeing told me to give it 6-8 weeks for AF to show. Since I

had never charted temps or anything before, I decided to start charting so

that I might know when to expect AF. Even before bcps, I was always

on-time, with perfect 28 day cycles (no rotten tomatoes, please!). So, I

started charting about 6 weeks post d & c, I had a temp dip and rise for 12

days, then a drop. I had PMS, AF cramps, etc., but no flow. My OB/GYN

tried Provera, the Premarin and Provera, then finally bcps at 3/day (not a

fun little experiment, I might add!). Suzanne, he ALSO told me that my

body just needed time to heal from the surgery and the pg during the 5

months that this was dragging on!! And, my OB/GYN NEVER looked at my temp

charts or made any conclusions from the fact that I was getting AF cramps at

the right times.

Finally, he referred me to an RE.

I was able to get an appt. 10 days later and on the 1st appt., he did a

complete exam, u/s, bloodwork, etc. 2 days later, I went back for an office

hysteroscopy. MY RE had trouble getting the scope in and he literally had

to shove it in. It only went about 2-3 cm into my uterus, and by then I was

in tears, so he pulled it out and stopped. 5 days later, he did a

laparoscopy and operative hysteroscopy. He removed scar tissue from my

cervix and the opening to the uterus. As he explained to me, my cervix was

blocked by this scar tissue and although I was probably having normal

cycles, the blood flow was going into my tubes.

Well, I posted about my follow-up and now it's just wait and hopefully

starting ttc again in a few weeks. I'm just so relieved that everything

makes sense and that it may be resolved. I am worried about future

problems. I also wonder if I scarred because my OB/GYN did a sloppy d & c or

do I just scar easily? I am switching OB/GYNs, but will be sure to tell him

how things turned out. I have heard that it is extremely rare to develop

Asherman's after a one time, non-emergency d & c, such as mine. But I have

met one other woman that has had this happen, so I guess I'll always wonder

if my OB/GYN was partially responsible.

Anyhow, sorry this got so long. I hope everyone has a good weekend.
