Pregnancy success after balloon put in during hysteroscopy?? Please help!

Hello all. 

I have never posted before but am so down right now that possibly someone is going through the same thing. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and went to a fertility doctor who did a HSG and found I had scar tissue in my uterus (not sure where it came from since I have never been pregnant, had a miscarriage or any surgeries). I had a hysteroscopy to remove the scar tissue and then put on estrogen. The doctor went in a few weeks later to check and found more scar tissue and removed it again and put me on more estrogen. Now I have had 2 ultrasounds and my lining is still not think (the doc told me he need to get it to at least 7 mm in order to proceed with fertility treatments because an embryo will prob not implant otherwise).

Now he is going to do another hysteroscopy and this time implant a balloon for a few days to prohibit the scar tissue from growing back. He does not want to have to do this, but there are no other options now since my body is not reacting to the estrogen/hormones. 

My question is - has anyone had this done and been successful in pregnancy afterward? I am super nervous about the procedure because my doc does not know how my body will respond - could be super painful and he will have to take the balloon right out. 

And he cannot answer the question on whether it will work. But if someone has some success stories now, please let me know! I need some positive encouragement at this time! 

THANK YOU

    Sorry I've never heard of this either.  I don't know much about endometriosis but isn't that was this is with your recurring scar tissue perhaps??  I wish I can help you out more but I will keep my fingers crossed for you that the procedure helps you out and you have a successful cycle soon!!

    I don't normally post on this board, but I have had two surgeries to remove scar tissue. I had the balloon put in for a week and estrogen and progesterone. The surgery was not bad at all and either was the balloon. I am just in my first month on ttc so I can not give you a success story, but my doctor is optimistic. Not much is know about asherman's which makes it so frustrating. I hope your surgery goes well. Sending baby dust your way,
