Surgery tomorrow

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow with Dr. Isaacson. After my

miscarriage in December, I had a D & C because I could not deliver the

placenta after 2 days in the hospital. Followed up with Dr. I on

Jan. 13th, but there was still a lot of tissue in the cavity, as if I

was getting ready to start my period. Dr. I was happy to see that

because he felt the D & C had been 'performed gently', and he then

wanted to wait until I had a period to be able to see the cavity and

lining more clearly with another hysteroscopy. Well, to date I still

have not had a period ... cramping, lower back pain, a little

spotting, but no blood (sound familiar). I returned to him on Feb.

12th after the second episode of cramping with no blood. He did an

in office hysteroscopy which revealed a good size cavity, mostly

open, but in the upper left quadrant there was tissue remaining that

my body won't shed naturally, perhaps because it is stuck to

adhesions in that area that we couldn't see. My options were wait

and see or surgery to tease out the tissue and remove any adhesions

that may be there. I opted for the second choice ... I just can't

wait any more for things to 'maybe' happen.

My concerns/questions are: has this happened to anyone after

miscarrying after AS? What was your treatment? Am I doing the right

thing or risking more trauma to my already traumatized uterus? What

else should Dr. I be looking for during and after surgery? What

other questions should I be asking?

It is so frustrating that nothing is ever black and white!! The only

good thing is that my cavity didn't scar shut after the last D & C.

Advice, please!?

Warmly,

Kim S.
