- I so wish I could take away your pain!!!- I know it too- I spend every day with Brenna feeling so guilty she doesn't have a sibling (then I come here and to my stillbirth support group and feel guilty for feeling bad- because at least I have her - oh to be a Catholic LOL). Brenna is so "behind" her friends who all have siblings- she doesn't know how to play well with kids- prefers adults- it's sad to me- but I geuss maybe that will be alleviated with our adioption-

Of course there's still the selfish part of me that wants another baby of my own too - I cry whenever I see someone nurse a baby

Hang in there- I hope and pray we'll both (ALL!) have all our dreams fulfilled in time!!!

,

Good to hear that you don't have any adhesions and your cavity is normal. If your lining is the only problem now, don't worry, you just need to take some more estrogen to help thicken it. Sorry you're feeling depressed but just think, you managed to get pregnant once, why not now?

Thanks for taking asking Dr Indman all those questions for us. It is truly appreciated. I think we got some answers and maybe got him thinking on some others.

Do you have any of the photos of your uterus that you saw yesterday? If you do, I wonder if you could send me them to compare with mine. I managed to send Terri the photos as mpeg files and she said that they looked pretty much like hers. Might be a good idea if we could post some of these on here and start comparing them with each others. I'll try to find some photos from the internet of what a normal endometrium looks like compared to ours. If anyone has some of these, then please pass along.

The question you asked him about why woment don't get a period after they come off the progesterone, well in my case, it is clear that my cycles were messed up. On Thursday I got a hint of a period and then Friday, Saturday and continuing on until today, I got a light (on panty liner) but constant period of bright red. It just seems like these estrogens I am taking are not meant for women with longer cycles like me.

Also you wrote: Dr. Indman also said that in some uteruses the endometrium grows back even after you cauterize the heck out of it and in others the endometrium doesn't grow back. He doesn't (nobody does) know why in some cases the endometrium doesn't grow back and in others it does.

Well, I just hope that I am one of those cases where it does grow back.

Thanks Poly for the pep talk. I hope you are right.

I looked at your photos that you sent and I was only able to view it very small with any resolution. When I enlarged it it looked too blurrry. When I look at yours small, they look better than mine! So, it's hard to compare. I didn't get the most recent photo of my uterus, only the ones from 1 week ago, when I still had some scar tissue remaining. I will try to scan them, but it will take me a while since I have lots to do this week.

Yes, I do too and I hope I am too. I hope we all are!

I'll report back in two weeks after my ultrasound. Thanks again,
