Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hi All, I'm new to this site and am so relieved that there are others of you out there. No one I know has even heard of the abdominal cerclage. I have never been pregnant - now I'm thinking it's due in part to the shortness of my cervix (after two leeps and a cone). Anyway - was going to start fertility treatments (IUI + Clomid) in about a month but was shocked to learn from a perinatology visit that it looks as though I have an incompetent cervix - no one ever spoke of this before. They suggested that I wait until I'm pregnant to see if there's enough tissue there to actually put in a vaginal cerclage. But, I'm wondering if I shouldn't push to get the abdominal cerclage prior to fertility treatments? Wouldn't it be safer to do the abdominal cerclage prophylatically rather than as an emergent rescue? Anyone have any thoughts? Needless to say the thought of losing a baby during the second trimester scares me (with just the vaginal cerclage). Sigh. Advice? C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
