I saw my dr today (my regular OB/gyn) and now she thinks that I don't

have Asherman's. We looked over the results of my HSG and she said

that it gives a good outline of my entire uterine cavity with only a

slight asymmetry with irregularity in the area of that upper right

corner, but that the entire cavity appears to be open. In addition,

fluid was able to get to the right tube, but the tube is blocked

about 1cm up. The left tube was OK. She also thinks that I don't

have it because I am still spotting quite a bit - five days after the

HSG, which means to her that I still have quite a bit of healthy

lining in spite of the light periods. Her advice is to try to get

pregnant and if I'm not pregnant within the next six months, then

we'll look deeper into it.

In the meantime, I've already sent all my records to Dr. Indman and

I'm inclined to leave it that way. I can't count how many times I've

heard that an HSG won't always diagnose it. However, I don't want to

spend all the time and money getting to California if I don't have

it. Do you think he'll make an opinion based on my records?

My husband thinks we should do what my dr says and try a few months

and see what happens. I'm kind of inclined to agree with him since

my report from the radiologist specifically says, " No filling defects

are visualized within the uterine canal. " What do you think?

Kim,

I just posted a message to Dawn about my HSG. My cavity was mostly

normal looking on the HSG but then when I had the hysteroscopy, it

showed some problems with those open surfaces. She had a similar

experience with a small filling defect that then turned out to be

more pronounced when they got in to take a look. Also, I agree

that " asymmetry and irregularity in the right corner " is a bit

troubling. You might want to have Indman consult on this just to

hear what he has to say. If you get pregnant with scar tissue in

there, it could be a major problem to say the least.

If your doctor doesn't think there is a problem, then how does she

explain the light periods? After my D & C I can't tell you how many

times I heard that " it takes a while for your body to get back on

track after a miscarriage " . Well, I'm sorry but if you are ovulating

normally it shouldn't take that long! My gut instinct was that there

was a problem and I was right. Ask for an ultrasound to check the

thickness of the lining. Ask for hormone tests to see if you are in

fact ovulating normally (or better yet, do you chart temperatures?).

I hope I don't sound too bossy here. I just remember what I went

through last fall getting someone to take my concerns seriously and

it was very difficult! What your doctor is saying is " just relax "

and that really bugs me.

Good luck!

Kim,

I understand your reluctance to travel to see an A-list doctor. It's

a big expense, particularly since you have a doctor at home telling

you you're fine. The part about the " irregularity " of your uterus

has me a little worried, though. Do you think you could get your OB

to do a diagnostic hysteroscopy? Or, could you find a local RE who

could do a diagnostic hysteroscopy? That way you would know for sure

if there's anything wrong. And if anything is wrong, then you could

go to Dr. Indman. My RE here in Denver does diagnostic

hysteroscopies in her office and it doesn't require anesthesia so it

shouldn't be a big time and money suck that a visit to the hospital

can be. My HSG appeared normal, but she still wants to do the

diagnostic hyst.

Of course, I've never been to see an A-list doctor. What does anyone

else think? I know that everyone here says you should have an A-list

doctor do your surgery, but how necessary is it for an A-list doctor

to diagnose you?

Haley -

Thanks for the advice. I totally agree with you. I'm not sure it's

Asherman's, but I truly feel something is wrong. My periods

shouldn't be so light and I also get quite a bit of cyclical pain in

that corner of my uterus. You can't tell me either of those are

normal.

All of my records have been sent to Dr. Indman and he should have

them by today. Once he's had a chance to look them over, someone

from his office is supposed to call me to set up an appointment.

I've already spoken with them, though, and they agreed that the HSG

may have missed something so I'll probably still go to California

for a hysteroscopy or some other further testing. Even if he says

it's not Asherman's, I won't feel it was a wasted trip because I'll

have the peace of mind that I know I am healthy and will have fewer

worries about getting pregnant again.

I'm over my reluctance, I think, and have decided to see Dr. Indman

regardless. Since I live in Arizona, I can fly to see him in one

day and the airfare is relatively inexpensive. I'm sure I could

persuade my ob/gyn to do a hysteroscopy but I think I'd prefer Dr.

Indman's expertise. This way, if I have it, I'm at the right place

and if I don't, I'll have the peace of mind I was seeking before

trying to conceive again. Thanks for the advice.

Kim-

I think it sounds wonderful that your uterus is open and you've been bleeding a lot- but that doesn't mean you might not still have scarring- and that can increase your chance of miscarriage (then another d & c etc) I hate that Dr's are so cavalier about our risk of loss and more harm- I'm sure others here will echo my feelings that your'e better off going into pg with the best possible uterine condition- I hope you'll still consult with Dr Indman! Best to you!!

Sheri,

We have a CafePress shop that has shirts that say " I only eat

food from home. " You might want one of those so that people

don't think you're starving her...LOL.

(We make no profit from the store. Everything is sold at cost.

Just posting this so no one gets the idea that I am profiting from

it. I designed the items and they are sold at CafePress' lowest

allowed price.)

If you are concerned that dairy is an issue, just freeze the DCCC

and wait until later to introduce it.

And as for cheese, the same is true. Give her a few weeks to a

couple of months on SCD before you introduce cheese (cow or

goat) to give her system time to begin to heal. Then try it and see

how she reacts. She may be just fine with it and then it can be a

daily food item for her.

The trick with SCD is " Slow and steady wins the race " . Just like

the tortoise and the hare. Adding foods slowly and keeping a

food journal really helps parents figure out what is working for

their child and what their child is not quite ready for yet.

Sheri,

I haven't looked at their website in a while, but I will tell you that

you can use well-dripped yogurt in any recipe that calls for

DCCC. We've been on SCD almost 2 years and I've never used

DCCC. :)
