It took me longer to get pregnant the second time (after a c section) and when I finally did it ended up being ectopic and also had a ruptured ovarian cyst bleeding into my abdomen. I got pregnant pretty quick after I was cleared to. I’m 24 weeks now with a healthy pregnancy
This is exactly what I have after my 2nd c section, I developed a bad scar tissue that blocked my fallopian tubes and made IVF is only option to have another baby, sad and unexpected outcome after c section. Thank you for shedding a light on this topic, it helps in many ways.
Also happened to me. Its such an undiscussed issue in the UK
I i delivered via c-section because of placenta aprabtion my daughter will be 4 yrs soon,going through secondary infertility it’s so overwhelming 😢
Great more things to worry about lol. I’m having a scheduled c section with my first baby (ivf). So this means it may hurt my chances when I’m ready for a 2nd transfer?
Ugh not sure I would have got a c section if I knew this (although mentally and physically I was having some real problems) and it turned out to be the best option for baby
I had a c section 9 months ago, and I'm pregnant 🤰 😱
Oh wow! How is it going? I hope healthy 🙏 🙂. I am six weeks postpartum c section. I want to have another baby, but I can't wait too long because I'm 43, I need to hurry now that I'm still ovulating. I'm scared to get pregnant too soon after c section. Please let me know. Thank you in advance.
Hi my name is Korpo Sumo I’m 8 days late on my period and I been feeling pain in my stomach and back and breast and I haven’t took a test yet
Is it better to stick to C sections after having the first one ? My mom had 3 and with the third she almost died from bleeding. I always wanted to deliver naturally, but my baby was 41 weeks and I couldn't dilate so i had an emergency C section. Its been 10 years from that, now im 30 and I would love tp have another baby.
Had a c section almost 5 years ago and got pregnant naturally. Been trying for around 2 years now and was wondering if there was a corolation between my c section and my secondary infertility. I also had my gallbladder removed the day after my c section.
I’ve been trying to get pregnant for almost 5 years after being pregnant 5 times! And 3 c-sections I’m 33 and I do drink I think that’s why
I lost my baby in 7moths and I need to get pregnant again how long should I wait
I had an open myomectomy where they breeched the cavity of my womb could it cause the same pathology as a c-section in terms of scarring and implantation problems?
I also have myomas and I was told by my doctor that a myomectomy could either complicate the chances of getting pregnant or make it easier. Some people have scar tissue that doesn't allow implantation but also others need the myoma to be removed in order for the egg to implant 🤷 your doctor knows better in that case, it would also have to do with what type of myomas you had and where they were placed.
Less likely bc the uterus healing is different
What about D&C? I feel like that messed me up for some reason because ever since I had the surgery I back in 2021 k haven’t been able to get pregnant again and we been trying since I had the surgery. I know ppl say that it should affect you fertility in any way but what if?
Look up Asherman syndrome.
It can cause scaring and trauma in uterus
Thank you for the info but this is so depressing. I had 4 pregnancy losses. I did IVF and they found out I had fibroids. I needed an open myomectomy that I’m still healing from. I feel like I’m never going to have a healthy pregnancy.
Maybe you will! Hopefully the surgery fixed the fibroid issue and now a pregnancy can grow well.
@@kw7378a1 thank you! I have now healed from the surgery and they say it looks good. Right now I’m doing 2 months of Lupron-Depot to treat mild adenomyosis and my first frozen embryo transfer will be in January! ❤️
@@MsFlamingFlamer may I ask how did the transfer go? I've told that I need to remove big fibroid prior to transfer to optimize results and I wasn't ready for this.
@@yeonsilb I did the embryo transfer and it was successful but unfortunately I lost the pregnancy for unexplained reasons at 10 weeks. I should have another embryo transfer in July.
How 's this diagnosis spelled? Ismo..esmo...? Can't google:) please help someone 😂❤
Got it, isthmocele😊
