Guest guest Posted February 11, 2001 Report Share Posted February 11, 2001 , I like your sense of humor (you need one with all this stuff going on). Sorry you have somewhat upsetting news; the good part is that you will still be able to have a baby, an IVF isn't so bad (if that's what you have to do). It's reassuring that the gyne complimented your RE. Let us know how it works out. +++++++++ thoughts coming your way. maria My update > Hi, > > I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Elle, He gave me a prescription for them with a 12 month refill, but I lost the prescription during the whole EP ordeal and I seriously never thought about it again. I wondered if everyone else was taking them already and I was the lone dummy out here not thinking about them. Anyway I will start taking them tomorrow. I will definitely know by March 1.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 Oh I was sorry to read your update. What on earth is going on? Who is the ashermans specialist they´re sending you to and when will the appointment be? This is just so unfair, and it sounds like they´re not being upfront with you about your treatment either. Is there any way you can start throwing your weight around and demanding they send you to a European specialist like Dr Gallinat? Keep your chin up . This is proving to be such a long and difficult battle and I can only imagine how much emotional energy it´s consuming. Just remember you will get through it. A big hug from me. Take care, Helena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 , I would stop wasting my time with these people. First they tell you that your lining is continuous, then they say it isn't, then they say it is.....Then they tell you to TTC, now they say not to. God can't they make their bloody minds up???? If your cervix is open, then the lower portion of your uterus might be have caused a closure. They won't tell by an ultrasound. How did they tell your cervix is open? Did they do an HSG yesterday? What does your doctor mean by "Could just be the ashermans". ???? Sounds to me like an easy answer for something she herself can't explain. Sounds like they are taking you round and round in circles. How many times do they want you to do blood tests? Argghhhhh!!! You've been at this for over 2 years now and they are no where near knowing what they are doing. Please get the name of this Ashermans specialist and let's see if we can help you in finding out if he truly is a specialist. From your email, It sounds like they are ready to dump you because they can't get any answers for you. , please if you have any patience left, let go of these people and move on to something more positive. You talked about going to Dr Gallinat before so if this is an opportunity for you, please please reconsider. Just think, other UK members have moved onto him with good results. None of them was given a name of an Ashermans specialist in UK (at least yet), why do you think you are an exception? Poly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 , HURRAH! I´m so pleased you´re washing your hands of those time- wasting incompetents in the NHS. They´ve b*ggered you around for over 2 years obviously at a complete loss to know how to deal with your case. I can´t wait to hear how you get on with Dr Gallinat. Take care and be happy, soon you´ll be able to put all this behind you. Helena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 M, Thanks for updating us on your situation. I hope that you will soon get good results from the surgery with Dr Valle. I noticed that on your profile there is some missing data like Dr Valle under doctors etc. Can you please check this information and send any updates to Suzanne at suzanne.d.taylor@...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hello Gladys I hope that you have a successful surgery with Dr. Palter. I can surely understand haveing many issues going on at the same time (we are in the same boat) I too am expecting to have surgery with Dr. Palter soon. Did you ask him why? and explain to him that so many women in the group was given progesterone to bring a period on after estrogen. I have been e-mailing him lately and he is excellent at responding, within 24hrs. I will be praying for you. Good luck, Audrey > Just bf I continue on my update, I wish to congratulate , > and Tricia on their pregnancies and I pray that each of you carry > hers to a full term and eventually have a safe delivery. > > I have been schedulled for a surgery with Dr Palter on sept.9th.
