Thank you for answering my questions. My adhesions were started by
endometriosis. My first surgery ended up being a laparotomy because the
adhesions were so bad. Two years later all my bowel problems returned
and I ended up having a second surgery with a fertility specialist. He
was removing a bad fallopian tube and noted a lot of dense adhesions
again which he didn't remove because he said he would've had to change
the operation to a laparotomy again and that would only cause more
adhesions. Both the fertility specialist and my gynocologist think I
should go forward with invitro. But, I can't hardly eat anything
without massive cramping and diahrea and pain. The rest of the time I
don't have bowel movements until the cramping and pain starts. So, I
don't think that's a very smart idea. I don't think I could support a
pregnancy in this condition. I can barely support myself this way. Not
to mention how bad the quality of my life has become. I have my first
appointment with Dr. Reich on Friday in New York. I hope and pray
everything goes okay and that I'm doing the right thing.
