Hi Beth,

Thanks for your advice.

I have joined the Ashermans group. I am being told that since I still

have a normal period every month that this must mean my adhesions are

mild. I am waiting to get a second opinion first.

I don't get to decide who provides me with care here in Ontario,

Canada. I get a referral and my current OB/GYN decides to whom that

shall be. If I'm not happy with his referral I'm not sure what my

options are.

I have been wondering, since a metroplasty is cutting tissue and

reshaping the uterus would this procedure not apply to me now even

though my septum was removed? Can you please tell me more about what

is done with a metroplasty.
