Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

just plain disgusted-need a fourth surgery for mc in nov 2010

Hi ladies, so many of you have offered support as I deal with this awful medical situation, that seems to keep getting worse.  To recap:  mc in November, had a D&C, tissue left behind-2nd D&C in Feb, tissue still left behind, diagnostic then operative hysteroscopy in April, tissue successfully removed, no period after 3 months, put on Provera, did not work.  My doctor then told me that it could be a blockage in my uterus or hormonal.  After an unsuccessful attempt at a HSG, and then and unsuccessful attempt at a sono hysterogram, the diagnosis is a blockage due to scarring!!!  At my diagnostic hysteroscopy in April though the doctor told me that aside from a very tiny piece of tissue remaining very high up in my uterus, the lining looked smooth and normal, so how do I know have to have another surgery to remove scarring that was not there before my last surgery????  I have a diagnostic hysteroscopy on Monday, and then they schedule surgery. I am so mad, and angry, I wanted to do this all naturally but the doctors kept telling me doing the D&C was the fastest and safest way to get back on track.  I feel so misled and deceived.  My husband and I have been through so much, we thought we would be pst this by now, not the case.  Now we have to cancel the 4th vacation in the past year because of this awfulness.  We had cashed in all our miles and were going to scrape together some money from savings to take a few weeks and go to Hawaii, now I have to cancel those tickets.  We so desperately need to recharge our spirits, ugh.  I don't even know if I should post this here, or on Trouble TTC, I feel like I am in a no man's land.  

 Thanks for listening....

  • I am so sorry that you are going through this.  You do not deserve this.  No one does.  I've been dealing with some issues myself and still trying to get my body back to "normal" (whatever that is).  It just makes me think -- did I not go through enough already?  Did I not suffer enough?  It makes me so mad.  Please hang in there hun.
    We said goodbye on 4.28.11 (D&E at 18.5 weeks) Lilypie Angel and Memorial tickers
  • Thanks so much.  Sorry you are dealing with issues as well.  I just feel like all of this medical trauma makes putting this behind me so hard.  People keep telling me to look forward, but how can I when I can't put this behind me until my physical recovery is complete.

  • I am disgusted for you.  I am sorry that you have to go through this, my thoughts our with you.

  • I am so sorry you are still going through this.  Have you looked into getting another opinion before you go for a 3rd surgery???  i don't know how much faith I would have in my doctors this time around...

  • I am with a new doctor now.  I was with a high risk ob previously, she referred me to a gynecological specialist who did the first hysteroscopy.  I am now with a RE who I met with yesterday.  He made the diagnosis of a uterine blockage and has sent me to a minimally invasive gynecological surgeon.  He supposedly specializes in this sort of stuff, but at this point I am so skeptical.  I figure if he is going to be looking via a camera, he should be able to make an accurate diagnosis and strategy, but that is what I thought last time also.  I think this time, they will leave a balloon in my uterus for a few days to make sure the healing goes well.  I think I am going to say good bye to my OB and go with a new one when the time comes, she recommended the first round of doctors who obviously did a lot of damage, so I no longer trust her opinion.
  • You have been through SO much - it is absolutely terrible. I am so sorry and I hope that after this last procedure you can be free of this miscarriage and finally take a vacation. I nice long, relaxing vacation.

  • I am sooo sorry you have to deal with all these procedures. I will be sending lots and lots of prayers your way for your upcoming surgery. Every day when I read others stories from this board, I am so saddened by stories like yours. Please take the time for your body to heal after all of this. And think positive that one day soon you'll be on the Pregnant after a Loss board. I wish you the VERY best and healing.
  • SIGGY WARNING

     

    I had the EXACT same thing. I lost my triplets at 20 weeks on November 7th, the whole right side of my uterus was basically destroyed by scar tissue. I had the hysteroscopy and they removed the scar tissue, and this month I FINALLY had my first real period since November. Good Luck and if you have questions about the surgery (including the rather annoying balloon) feel free to PM me.
