(gosh, I hope I am correct here). Scar tissue covers the cervix is not good but from all thatI have read from other women with the same problem, it appears that it is easier to remove from the cervix than it is from the lining of the uterus. All of your questions about the blocked cervix are good ones. Maybe you should try to post these on the INCIID board. Celeste << Celeste, Is a hysterosonogram the same as a saline ultrasound then? The last time I went to the hospital they tried to insert a small tube into my cervix too but could'nt get it past the cervix into my uterus so it was cancelled. I'll just have to hope that they can keep it open after my next surgery in UK. The fact that the cervix is closed worries me for a number of reasons.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2000 Report Share Posted May 17, 2000 Is a perforation to the uterus a bad thing? Because thats what they did to me when I had my laparascopy.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2000 Report Share Posted May 18, 2000 A laparoscopy is two incisions. One in your belly button and one just above your pubic bone. This is done to view (diagnostic) or to repair (operative) the outside of the uterus. A hysteroscopy is done to view or repair the inside and is performed by going through the cervix. A Lap is usually done to treat endometriosis or fibroids that grow on the outside. I've had one Laparascopy (diagnostic) done when I went through fertility testing. They didn't find anything wrong.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2000 Report Share Posted May 18, 2000 Leanne, I would guess so! Because logically if you get pregnant and your uterus grows, then the perforations will grow too and your uterus will probably snap causing danger to your life and babies. I hope I am right about this. Anyone know better?

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2000 Report Share Posted May 18, 2000 As far as I know it's a very bad thing and I was told if they perforated the uterus during my laproscopy they would have to do a hysterectomy...maybe there are degrees of perforations but it doesn't sound good to me.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2000 Report Share Posted May 18, 2000 Poly, I read Celeste's response to you and it differs from what my laproscopy was. My laproscopy was a tiny incision through the belly button only and it was to remove the adhesions inside my uterus and cervix -- my scarring was so severe they couldn't even do a saline ultrasound or hysteroscopy because it was all blocked. My surgery removed all the adhesions but my lining was so severly damaged that I have a 2% chance of conceiving and if so would have a 50/50 chance of having catastrophic bleeding at delivery -- assuming I wouldn't miscarry. That's why I hesitate to congratulate everyone when they say the adhesions are gone and everything looks great -- so did mine -- its the lining that gets damaged beyond repair. I have had numerous hysteroscopies (maybe 4 or 5) and just the one laproscopy -- unfortunately, they can't do anything about the damage to the lining so my only choice would be gestational carrier. Wish I had a happier story to tell.
