Getting past early stages of pregnancy??

[Lucia]

Hi,

I wasn't sure where to post this question as I am not sure how you would even catergize this. I suppose it is a miscarriage?

I seem to have a problem getting past the very early stages of pregnancy. Implanations seem to be fine - but then I can't hold the pregnancies. I lose them all by week 3 or 4.

I am currently on IVF and there is not obvious reason for this happening but it keeps happening. Where do I go from here?

(I forgot to add alittle of my history - I have endo. Had several operations, the last one in 2003 in which my left ovary was removed and it has apparently helped clear up the endo and there has been no signs of it since. But I do have alot of scarring on my left hand side although my doctor does not seem to think that this would be causing the problem.)

Has anyone else experienced this, how did you deal with, have you been able to go on and have a full term pregnancy and have a healthy happy baby at the end?

I wish I could advise you but I have the same problem. I will watch this thread to see what people advise you.

Hi Lucia
When you say you have scarring on your left side, do you mean the left side of your uterus???
Cheers

Hi Chris,

From what I understand not actually on my uterus. My uterus and right hand side is all clear and totally healthy.

The scarring is all over that area (lefthand side) where the endo had grown and been removed over the years. The endo had stuck that ovary right down and behind on my bowels and in the end it had to come out. I have even had to have some bowel removed as well.

Hi Satya,

It is awful isn't it? I keep getting told that it happens and it happens more than anyone realises but it is just so frustrating and upsetting.

As wonderful as my doctor is - I thought I would ask here because you just never know. There is so much information out there.
