Questions and Doubts

[Guest guest]

First of all, I just wanted to say that I'm so happy to hear of all

the successes there have been with this group as of late, new

mommy's, pregnancies, determined little beans, and scar-free people,

it's great! and very very encouraging I find.

For me, as each day passes I doubt more that I even have Asherman's.

Not that I WANT AS, but the alternative is not knowing what is wrong.

I've literally not had a single day since June 11 where I have not

bled, mind you some days are so light that it doesn't require any

protection. But, I've been to the hospital twice because the

bleeding was so heavy that it scared me to death. Every doctor,

says " It's a good sign " , " your uterus feels fine " , " I don't see any

tissue coming out " . I just don't know any more. I'm starting to

feel a little light headed at times now but I have no significant

pain, I would describe it as mild menstral cramps sometimes.

On Aug 10, I ended 10 days of provera (and spotted all the way

through those 10 days). 4 days after I finished the drug, I started

bleeding very heavily again. (I know... good sign right ) I passed

clumps of red something(clots??) that were the size of my palm (not

exagerating). It's been 8 days now and every 6 or 7 hours, I get a

massive gush of blood and/or clots that completely fill/overfill a

pad... So much that sometimes I can't just place a pad there and

carry on because it will soak in a matter of minutes. Then it

settles down and I'll have minimal bleeding for several hours, then

the gush happens again. I had to cancel a lake weekend trip because

of it and today was especially bad so I came home from work, I don't

trust myself to be out anywhere.

I called the specialist about this so they've agreed to see me

tomorrow. I also have a hyst/lap scheduled for Sept. 10.

I don't really expect too many comments about this because I'm sure

this is not a symptom of AS. But I do have a question about the

hyst/lap. Many of you describe a diagnostic hyst and an operative

one. Is it practically the same procedure? I mean if I go in for an

operative hyst and he finds nothing in there, I'm not risking

anything right? Since I'm doubtful of having AS now, I just wonder

if I should be having the hyst? I really want a Dr. to see what the

heck is going on in there, but am worried that I might be going in

for something that is more than what I need.

Sorry this is so long, thanks for listening.
