2nd HSG Results (pg ment)

[Guest guest]

Hi Hollie,

The SAME thing happened to me. The second hsg looked exactly the same. The

surgeon scheduled me for a corrective surgery, but then the day of surgery,

he did a 3d hysterosonogram, and got a better image of the top of the uterus

and said 'I think you are a teeny bit bicornuate combined with partial

subseptate.' So surgery was canceled. There wasn't enough room for him to

correct any more. And he said we would be fine to ttc and put us on a clomid

iui schedule. If you look in the archives for July and August, you will see

the whole story. I was also distraught, and went for two second opinions

with excellent surgeons. They also said that I was fine, and that surgery

might only be able to remove a little bit more. All three surgeons said we

would be fine to get pg, but would have about a 10% increased chance of mc.

The consensus of the original surgeon and the two second opinions is that he

should have used a balloon to at least try to help the walls hold apart.

I will pray for you, this might all be okay...some second opinions from

surgeons might help you.

Hi Ladies,

I am completely distraught and in need of some moral support. I have

just returned from my 2nd HSG. I had ordered a copy of the first set

of films so that I could compare the two while I was " on the table " .

In my untrained eye, I do not see a difference. The radiologist only

told me that he could see " some difference " but he did not want to

comment past that.

I do not think I can handle a second surgery or another m/c. I am

just too tired of hoping. I am tired of all of the reports lately

about " fertility after 35 " . I guess I am just tired. period. I just

want so badly to have a baby.

Sorry to sound so down and desperate today.

Hollie,

I wish I had something to say that could make you feel better. When

do you talk with your doctor about the HSG results?

I hate that the news media has women freaked out about fertility

after 35. As if there's not enough pressure! In some ways, the

education is good, but the pressure is terrible.

You're allowed to be down, desperate, whatever. We're here to listen.

I just wish I had some decent answers.

Oh Hollie, I am so sorry to hear that! (((((HUGS)))))

I can see how you would be just about fed up to your breaking point

by now, and how unlucky and unfair this new problem is. My surgery

was a huge pain, too....I know why you don't want to have a second

one. You have no reason to feel bad about sounding down. That's

totally normal considering the disappointment you had to go through

today!!!

I wish I could say something to make it better, but all I can offer

is my prayers and ear to vent in! If you do decide to have a second

surgery, perhaps you will consider using a different RE?

hugs,

Jill

Hollie,

How awful for you to feel so down. So many of us have had that

sinking feeling of " not much change " when seeing a new HSG. We just

want to see featureless inverted triangles on the films!

Not many of us do see them.

" A little difference " may make a big difference during a pregnancy.

Please get in touch with whomever will interpret the results and ask

all the questions you can. Then, when you feel stronger, send the

spot images to someone else for another opinion. As crummy and

defeated as you feel now, you'll probably feel somewhat differently

later on. Believe me. I have been there, too, seeing two f-u HSGs

spring into relief on the screen with a substantial fundal notch

still showing. It really sucks, doesn't it?

Hugs,

Beth

I don't know what is happening to my computer today. This is the 3rd

time I'm trying to post a reply to you - it keeps disappearing.

Maybe because it's too long ;O)

I am SO sorry that you are dealing with this. I'm sure that you are

at the end of your rope. I had the same thing happen to me in May

when I had my post-septo HSG and it did not look any different. I

was shocked and sad and frustrated. I too worried that I would never

get to have a baby or I would suffer many more losses trying. I had

expected the surgery to take care of these worries and I was not

prepared for what I saw on the screen.

I kept my composure until I got to the parking lot and then I cried.

The surgeon was not listening, he would not pull out my pre-surg HSG

and kept telling me I was fine to ttc again. ASS! If my SU was bad

enough to operate on and it looked the same, why would I think that

my chances for ttc were any better now? I needed a plan and when we

got home, I called 3 REs and booked the first appt. I liked the 1st

guy that I saw a month later (long, emotional-wreck of a month to

wait) and he agreed that another surgery would be a good plan. He

was very compassionate and realized my apprehension about everything

since my first surgery was a flop.

He did a hys-only resection in Jul. He used lazer and cut up the

center of the SU and across the top - the 1st dr had used the

microscissors and only cut up the length of it. My SU was about 1/3

of my uterus. He also did an HSG during surgery to show me that it

was gone and to insure that he did not rupture the uterus. I was not

happy that he was not going to do a lap. We were not able to get

pics from my first surgery and he was basing his judgement to do hys

only from the 1st operative report that said my uterus was round and

without any indentation. I was REALLY nervous, but it worked.

Huge hugs coming to you. I was 34 when this all started. I've only

had one m/c and also felt the pressures of time all of a sudden. I

turned 35 today - the magic infertility age!. I'm still healing from

the 2nd surgery, but hope to ttc in about a month. Are there other

drs you can go to for a 2nd opinion? I would strongly suggest

booking another appt or 2. When will you speak to your dr?

I'm hoping that you have a dr that listens and offers a plan. I wish

for emotional strength for you to get through this. I'm sure you are

tired from this emotionally draining saga. I wish all the best for

you. Please feel free to email me directly if you want to talk
