Update on me

First off, I've been lurking a bit. Hugs to those who need them. It seems we are in a drought.
I talked with my RE yesterday. We are going to culture my recurring fluid and I'm going to see a specialty gynecologist to see if maybe a laproscopy surgery would help to correct the problems from my c section.
My RE prefaced with the fact that this is a long shot and may tell us nothing and these procedures may not help. He said every doctor he has consulted with about me said a GC is my only option.
I am also seeking a second opinion to gain some peace with l this. I don't know if I'm up for another surgery.
My RE also said he can be as patient as I am and he will keep trying if I want to. But he said we'd have to take it one cycle at a time and if emotionally I can't handle it anymore, we would have to stop treatment.
I'm letting the idea of not having another baby live in my head and it hurts so much. But after a few weeks of reflectiveness, I'm not ready to give up. I need to feel like walking away is my choice, not my prognosis.
Thanks for reading and for all your prayers. This has been the hardest few weeks I've had maybe ever. And I know we have a long road ahead.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I can only imagine what you have been going through... I can relate to the feelings you had when thinking about having an only child...I have had to face that possibility and it hurts so much to even think about walking away without another child.
Not sure if this helps, but I keep telling myself that God must have something wonderful planned for me, as he does for you.
