Infertility. Whay Am I Not Getting Pregnant? Posted: 01-13-05 14:06pm
I am a young 20yr wife that has been
trying to get pregnant for the last year.
When I was 17 I had an abortion at 15
weeks. I started to experience
abnormally painful abdominal cramping and
irregular periods with clumping about a
year and a half after the abortion. I
went to a gyn and was examined quite
often. I found that I had cysts on my
ovaries and an std, high risk hpv. He
then decided that I would need a
laporoscopy to see if I had endometriosis.
After the surgery, he told me that I did
not have endometriosis, but that I had
scarring and scar tissue all over my
reproductive organs and that he had never
seen anything like that. He could not
tell me why there was so much scarring/
scar tissue. A week after the surgery my
husband and I began to try to get pregnant
with no result. I have just started to
do an ovulation chart, but other than
that, my gyn doesn't seem to have any
answers as to why I am not getting
pregnant. He just says, "i'm sure you
are fine, it just takes time." it's been a
little over a year now! Do you have any
suggestions? Why would I have so much
scarring/scar tissue? I am so young and
yet, I have all these adult problems.
Concerned and
confused,
shannon

The scaring comes from if they scraped to
much of your uterus. Some people who have
had an abortion do have difficulties
having children. But dont let this
discourage you. I was forced by my father
when I was younger to have one. I have
had allot of difficulties but I have 5
children now and im preggo with # 6. You
might need to go see a specialist though.
The reason is you might have to much
scaring that they egg can not attach to
the wall. Good luck hun

Hi my name is keerah and i'm a 21 year old
lady who has been trying to have a baby
for about a year with no results. I' ve
had a miscarriage when I was about 13
weeks. The baby's heart just quit
beating. I had a d&c done october of
last year, and I caught an infection from
the surgery. I bled for about 8 months
straight. Finally the doctors stopped the
bleeding. But I wasn't having a period
and I wasn't ovulating.So I decided to
have a diagnostic laparoscopy done the
beginning of this month and that's how I
found out that I had endometriosis. The
doctor went and took out all of the access
tissue which was causing me to have
endometriosis and I don't have it anymore.
Now the doctor has started me on
clomid(something to help me ovulate) and
progestrone (something to help my period
come on every month). So far everything
is good and he told me that I was good to
go when it comes to having kids.
