[Poasplus] I think I diagnosed myself

[Kathryn Tewson]

Oh my GOODNESS Jen!  I hope . . . argh, I don't know what I hope! I hope
that it's easily identifiable and fixable.  Would Asherman's have caused
your miscarriage too?

Ok, my first appointment at the fertility center is today at 2:00 pm.  I'll
let y'all know how that goes after it goes.
 
I went up to the clinic on base to get copies of all the labwork and HSG
reports I had done so that I can bring everything with me today.  I even
printed out every one of my fertility friend charts.  
 
I'm looking at the report from the HSG I had last May.  All the doctor told
me was that I definately had spillage from the right tube (the only tube
they were able to fix during my tubal reversal in 2005).  So that's good
right?  Yes.  Except for she didn't say A WORD to me about seeing an
irregular filling defect in the right side of the uterus that wasn't there
in my May 2005 HSG.  So she wrote possible uterine synechia.  
 
I google it, and every website that has that lists Asherman's Syndrome
beside it.  Which has the symptoms of little or no menstrual bleeding each
month and increased cramping.  Which I have!  I have heavy cramping and
bleeding the first day, mostly clots, and then several days of spotting.
EVERY MONTH.   It's caused by scar tissue formation in the uterus that keeps
the lining from being released.  I don't really understand it.  
 
I am just freaking out right now.  It's rare, but it happens and it is a
cause for infertility.  Depending on how severe it is, if I have it, they
may or may not be able to do surgery to fix it and also whether or not I get
pregnant again depends on the severity as well.
 
So, in a way I'm praying this isn't it.  But in a way I hope it is.  I'll go
through surgery if it means I know why I can't get pregnant and it can be
fixed.
 
Hope y'all are doing great.
 
Jen
