I have been out of town and just saw your posting. The doctor who did my adhesion surgery this past March specializes in infertility. Fabulous doctor and very knowlegable in adhesions. I don't know if coming to Nashville, Tennessee is an option for you, but let me give you his information:
Dr. James Daniell (615) 321-0513 Nashville, Tennessee
