Q: C-section scar tissue and fertility

I have had 2 c-sections (last one was 3 years ago) and just had a very early miscarriage. During the ultrasound the tech had a hard time seeing certain things because of the scar tissue. Could scar tissue be a reason for the miscarriage? In other words, can scar tissue keep the embryo from implanting properly?

I would guess that it depends on the type of incision made on the uterus. If a horizontal, then no. The baby should implant higher than that. If it was a vertical incision, then maybe.

If you were me, I'd call my OB to discuss.
