Thanks for sharing your story and reassuring me that I may not necessarily have AS (maybe just AS phobia!). You certainly have been through a lot. I'm so sorry about your still birth- I can't imagine the pain you went through, and having to cope with the bad curette experience and the fear of having AS right after. I'm so glad to hear that after all that you have two children. It gives me hope to hear success stories like yours and others. Your FS would have been able to see if you had AS during the laparoscopy procedure. Hearing all the procedures you underwent makes me think I'm overreacting about the hysteroscopy, and that I should try to trust the specialist. I'm nearing 40 and don't have a lot of time to wait and see if I conceive (not that it took long the first time). I also want to avoid the possibility of another mc which could result if I did have AS and conceived.
thanks Sky - I can understand your anxiousness I was 38 when I lost my daughter. I just left it late to go the IVF path -after we knew we could get pregnant. I wanted to try. Didn't have the encouragement to try before.BB and another friend helped me there ... to give it go I had so much to gain.
Yes, I think that is what worried me the most - not having another chance because of some 'rare' syndrome.
It was a different FS OB/G - Dr Gayer - she is fantastic and I would recommend her highly - though she was associated with the IVF clinic and it was actually half way during my first IVF cycle ... before I started the IVF hormone injections. I was fitted in urgently after they decided hydrosalphinx (fluid in damaged tube could) hinder embryo implanting (get washed out).I refused to cancel the cycle ... another month later was too long to wait.IYKWIM.
The POF had be so scared too because I knew if was a possibility too given my age. Though they can also work with this.
Re - a Hysteroscopy - I also knew it could be done without a GA (but I wouldn't ~ the SHG was bad enough).I agree with Castle - join a group or lurk and read others stories.The hysteroscopy might just be worth it.That at very least you will have some idea or good news but finding the best specialist is the key.
Again, if you don't have AS - and if you are over 35 I wouldn't wait more than 6 months TTC before a referal to FS (not necesarily for IVF) as a few ladies were discussing in another thread. Ask you DR for referal for both you and your DH. There are a few options open to you not just IVF.
I hope you don't need it though and you are soon announcing a BFP.Goodluck.
