Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 I don´t get the chance to post v. much as I have computer problems which means I only have sporadic access to the site but I just wanted to pass on a few messages. R and , your news is so inspiring. I´m so, so happy for you both and pray that everything continues smoothly from now til D day! I´ve lost track of our pregnant members. How many are there? Can´t we have some kind of weekly bulletin updating us on the pregnancies? Poly and , so sorry your surgeries didn´t yield more positive news. , I agree that 4 mg doesn´t seem an unusually high dose (for us AS sufferers). I was prescribed that dose and my father has thrombosis. I was only prescribed estrogen for 15 days but my lining doesn´t appear to be especially thin. My British dr asked about family susceptability to thrombosis when he suggested I take HRT but wasn´t overly concerned when I told him about dad. I´d just be very vigilant to look out for the symptoms of serious complications. Poly, this must be an especially difficult time for you. I´m thinking of you constantly and hoping that you reach some positive resolutions on this matter. I want to thank you again for all the support you give us and hope you find reciprocal support from us. Corinna--thanks for your advice on finding info on ashermans. I looked up the pubmed site and got some useful info from it. What articles do you have? One of the things I´m looking for is a simple medical description of the condition as well as some indication of how common it is. On a more introspective note I had a long chat tonight with one of the doctors who failed to diagnose the foreign body left in my uterus that caused my ashermans. For those who don´t know, the Brazilian dr who carried out my emergency ceasarean also managed to leave an old swab in my uterus. This swab wasn´t discovered for 2 years dispite my visiting 5 doctors in 3 different countries trying to find out why I felt so ill. According to the dr I spoke to tonight, I should have been rushed to hospital for some life-saving procedure a long time ago so suppose that at least puts my AS into perspective!! So now I´m cursing myself for daring to even hope to ever get pregnant again when I´m actually lucky to be alive. Poor hubby is as usual bearing the brunt of my emotional trauma! Best wishes to you all, Helena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
