>Hello all, it's been a bit. First I would like to thank the members of

>Sometimes it just helps to "hear" that you are not alone. Second I
>would like to thank everyone for sharing so much information. It is
>what gave me the courage to go and get a second opinion. I went and saw
>a beautiful and wonderful Endo/ fertiltiy specialist yesterday. First
>she confirmed (due to an episode of significant bleeding 1 1/2 weeks ago
>after exersize) that my adhesions are most likely already reforming. But
>what I adore about her is that she and her NP believe 100% in the pain
>that adhesions can cause! She also discussed the fact that surgery is
>not desired until absolutely necessary (as it can promote new growth).
>My old MD never mentioned this. Instead of Lupron or some of the
>heavier "menopause" inducing drugs she is suggesting I alternate periods
>until we try and get pregnant by "skipping" my greens(will try in 6-12
>months). She discussed with me that if I do need a Lap prior to
>pregnancy, that she will lay down barriers to reduce the chances of new
>growth. I do not know if it is the same as used in Germany, but
>anything is better than nothing. She also explained that since my 2nd
>Lap revealed adhesions in completely different areas than the first that
>the barrier may not be effective, but that her goal is for me to have a
>baby, and to have quality of life. She will work with my fiance and I
>(we both have significant health problems) to help us try to get
>pregnant within the means we are comfortable with. Most of all, not
>only did she listen to me, but she HEARD me. She was impressed with the
>questions I asked, and how I was able to describe in detail absolutely
>everything. She was impressed that 12 months before wanting to get
>pregnant I was in her office wanting to know what I can do proactively
>to achieve my goals of living with minimal pain, and having a child.

>It's back, and I know it's back. 2 1/2 months after my last procedure
>that is a definite. But I know I have someone in my corner that is
>going to fight this as much as me. In my book it's the fight that makes
>you a success, no matter the outcome.

>So thank you to this site, for igniting the fighter within me. May we
