Laparoscopy results. Don't know how to feel

in TTC after 35
well my lap was yesterday. Left tube was taken out due to hydrosplanix. This is where toxic fluids fill tube. Found out everything else is good. Right tube is open and uterus is good. Only issue is I have a lot of scar tissue from last c section ten years ago. It is attached to bowel and abdominal wall :/. Dr seemed to think this poses higher risk. Now I'm kinda afraid to get pregnant since God forbid I could die.  This was his reply to me

    I'm sending you a huge virtual hug @runner76
    While it might be unfair to judge all specialists, I'm gonna go ahead and say this...the lack of empathy I've seen over and over around such a sensitive and emotionally charged topic, never ceases to break my heart. All this dr did was reword your concern into clinical terms. Sigh. 

    I do like that he/she ended with a tone of optimism. It really sucks you're facing all of this, and I hope that you are able to move forward and get pg ASAP! 
    Wishing you a lot of luck and positive energy! Xo

    Ty. I know they really don't get it. I'm not sure how to even feel. I'm kind of scared to death now to get pg. what is your opinion based on what he said

    I think he's saying that if you do choose to have another baby, your c-section will be considered high risk. I'm assuming he will go into further detail at your next appt. I don't think he's saying it's not possible, nor do I get the impression that he is discouraging you from attempting to have another child. 

    I would defintely write down all of your questions and concerns and make sure you and your husband are satisfied with the information he presents you with. 
    I'm a huge supporter of doing a lot of your own research, however this can also bring up a lot more questions! 

    After all is said and done, the decision to TTC is extremely personal and no provider can make that decision for you. I think it's comforting to know that you will have some options. 

    Best of luck to you, and welcome to the board if you are ready to join :)

    @runner76 I'm sorry. I'd be concerned too, but I'm hoping when you meet face to face you'll feel a little better about what he's saying. I don't see the message as discouraging about TTC. Like AMA is a risk, your OB care team will need to be aware of this additional risk and be prepared. Good news about uterus and tube (according to my OBGYN and recent research you only need one regardless of the side you ovulate from). Hope your next visit goes well.

    I totally get your fear. I think that as long as the team helping you deliver is aware of the risk they should be prepared for anything that may happen. I know nothing is 100% safe, even a pregnancy with no known risks can have complications during delivery, so all we can do is hope for the best and trust that it will all turn out OK. Good luck with you decision and follow your gut.
