Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 Hey , Welcome to the group, hon! From what I have found on ectopic pregnancies, other types of ectopics (other than tubal) are more likely " flukes " than tubals. In that case the egg escapes the fallopian tube and the sperm finds it! It is horrible in any case, but ectopics outside of the tube amaze me. How can the sperm find the egg? What I mean is that it is so hard for some people to get pregnant normally... Has your doctor mentioned that there might be any sort of defect to the fimbria of the fallopian tube (for those who don't know, the little fingers that pick up the egg)? Not that you have any damage to your fimbria, it's just a thought. I am so glad that you didn't have to have any surgery... Take care, Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 That is different. I hope for your sake that it was just a " fluke " . Do you have any other children? Take Care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 1999 Report Share Posted September 10, 1999 welcome I am sorry to hear about your loss. As much as I think that this group is great, don't you all find it sad when someone new joins? I just want to say that it is a pity we could'nt meet under more cheerfull circumstances. How are you doing now emotionally? Most of us seem to find the emotional side together with the reminder of seeing our scars harder to cope with than the actual physical pain. Are you going to t.t.c. again soon or waiting in fear like the most of us? Was this your first pregnancy? Excuse all the questions, but I am interested. again nice to have you with us(I like to call us the pity party) Just joking Regards sonja Kershaw >From: jeffjenny@... >Reply-To: ectopicpregnancyegroups >To: ectopicpregnancyeGroups >Subject: my story >Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 16:42:37 -0700 > >Hi, everyone.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 Sonja, Did someone already answer this: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. I am going to prepare a mini-report on it, and I will get it out to the list this afternoon! Take care, Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2000 Report Share Posted February 17, 2000 Poly, Sorry for any confusion. I took 1.25 2x daily. Also, following the second surgery, (the removal of reformed scar tissue) he added an Estring (a plastic ring that gives off a small dose of estrogen continuously) in addition to the premarin. The ring was placed inside the vagina. Sounds strange but one thing I learned is that the treatment for Asherman's is strange! I left this doctor and after all this did not work. I guess everyone is entitled to make their choice in doctors but I made the right decision when I left my former RE and found Dr. Berger. I am not one to stay with a doctor who made mistakes just because he knows my history. All it takes is a written history to bring another doctor up to date on your individual case. This is what I did with Dr. Berger. Celeste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2000 Report Share Posted February 17, 2000 Poly, I'm on 2.5 mg of estrogen per day. Just thought you'd want to know?! Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 hi ladies First let me say how happy i am to have found this group and a BIG THANK YOU to Poly for starting it! My Story i got PG 10 years ago by accident,(i was 19 years old) and decided to have an abortion. i was referred to a local hosptial by the college i was attending and that's where my nightmare began. 2 weeks after the procedure i started hemorraging, i was rushed to the hospital where they preformed a d & c, during the operation i was bleeding so bad that they had to cut me open like a c-section to stop the blood. It took me 1 week in hospital and 2 more weeks at home to recover. i was so upset, i felt like i had made the biggest mistake of my young life and had a very hard time dealing with it. Like all of you, after the d & c i had no periods, after many Dr. visits i was told i had scarring in my uterus, but never heard the term Asherman's syndrome. I had a lap/hystro done and started getting periods but very light, the Dr.'s told me not to worry i would be able to concieve, so i got on with my life...fastforward to 1999. i'm now married and my husband and i wanted to start a family right away...after 6months of trying i went to my Dr and told her the whole story, she sent me to a RE, he diagnosed me with Asherman's in Sept. of 1999 since than i have had one lap and two more hystro's, the scarring keeps coming back!!! my RE has now referred me to another RE who he says is the BEST and has helped another one of his patients concieve after having a severe case of ashermans'. my app. is Sept 18th. there is not a day that goes by that i don't wonder how different my life would be if i'd had the courage to keep my baby. haze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Hazel: Welcome to the group. I am so sorry to hear of your difficulties and am hopeful that surgery will help you (just as I'm hopeful it will help me if I EVER get a surgery date!!) Take care.
