Re: Glenda's news...YEAH!!!

[Guest guest]

Glenda I am so happy to hear you will finally be seen by the docs you chose.

You should be thrilled and excited, you are finally being able to talk and

ask questions on how you are doing and what the future holds for you. I hope

all goes well for you and We will be praying you get your questions answered.

Poly always has been able to help everyone out on what we need to ask or

what we should ask on our appts. The beginning for me was fine because I

wrote down what Poly thought I should ask and I know all will go fine with

you.

Thanks Penni for the well wishes! I am also reading back and am glad

to hear that your baby is fine, but that you will have to rest.

Wonderful news and a small price to pay for a baby! Hope you have

fun with your cross stitch...that's how I passed my pregnancies

too...Blessings to you Penni!

Glenda,

This is very good news. Why does your dh have to give a sperm sample? He is a Father twice now...it's kind of funny. Anyway, if he freaks out you can help him out....the poor fragile dears men are. Anyway, you should write a list of questions and send to us and then we can help you out easier. You will need to find out the basics first...cavity size, scarring percentage, where is the scarring, how much endometrium you have, what is the thickness etc. What tests need to be done, then the surgery, and then all these questions will have to asked again. Ask about hormone treatment after the surgery.

Anyway, this is fantastic news glenda!

,

Thanks for your response. I sure got a belly laugh out of you saying

what poor dears men are! You sound like my scottish grandma! And

yes, he has been a father 3 times - 2 children living and our

stillborn daughter. I do not know why he has to do this too...but I

don't feel that sorry for him. I figure it's the least he can do. I

will make a list of questions and try to get it all crammed in. It

is a 2 and a half hour drive and very difficult to get it so I don't

want to get tongue tied like I have done in the past. I am not sure

if I will let these drs do surgery, depending on the prognosis. I

would be willing to see an A-list doctor if it looks good and if it

looks like a real uphill battle, I don't think I will try to ttc

again. I was wondering, are all pre-AS pregnancies high risk?

Thanks for your support ! You are a gem!

Glenda,

Some questions to ask at your appt:

What is your severity?

What area of your uterus is affected? Is your cervix affected also?

Do you have an open cavity?

What does your endometrium look like? What is the thickness and can they see if it is in islets or continuous?

You can add more questions to this list as you go along but they are just for starters.

Thanks for the list Poly. I'll add to it and then let you

know...Glenda

[Guest guest]

Thanks Gwen...I will make a plan. I am wondering if I am going to

have another hsg as I had one a few months ago. I guess I could call

and find out. I always get tongue tied like a deer caught in

headlights in doctors offices. Thanks for being happy for me Gwen,

you are a dear friend!
