This is my first time posting to the forum - Thanks for having me, I hope this finds everyone well and as comfortable as can be under the conditions we experience.
I have adhesions from the c-section birth of my son ( he is my only child so far)... I am recently married and of course talk turns to children in newly married couples - but I am terrified.
At this point the doctors have cut me off from surgery - they say it's a "catch-22" situation (the more they cut into me to fix things - the more adhesions I develope) The last time they went in they did make sure my fallopian tubes were clear - and functioning, all is good there - there's just the adhesion pain stopping me. I have spoken to infertility specialists - they are the ones here in Richmond most familiar with working with adhesions... (at least this is what they told me) One told me to have a hysterectomy (I'm 26 - I don't want that yet!!!) and the other told me to have a baby - that the pregnancy could "stretch" the adhesions??? Does that sound right?
No matter what - I'm already in pain everyday - they won't put me on meds - they said that I would be addicted by 30 if they start me on them...
I want to have another baby - but I don't want to make this worst - nor do I want to spend 9 months in more pain than I'm in now. Can anyone help? This is a big decision (physically) to make without researching.
Sorry this is so long - Thanks for being here, all the mail I get from the forum reminds me that I'm not as isolated as I once thought I was.
