Hello everyone, my name is shannon. I am a 19 (20 in april) year old wife. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a year now with, unfortunately, no luck. When I was 17 I had an abortion at 15 1/2 weeks. About a year after the abortion I started to get excrutiatingly painful cramps. I saw a gyn and decided that I may have endometriosis so he did a laporoscopy. After the surgery, he told me that I did not have endometriosis, but that I had sists on my ovaries, high risk hpv and a large amount of scarring/scar tissue all over my reproductive organs. He couldn't tell me why I had so much scarring as he said he had never seen anything like that before. He told me that it wasn't because of the abortion and that I would be just fine. He prescribed me vicodin, celebrex, and bextra. Concerned, my husband and I decided to try having a child. No luck. I continued to see my gyn and he wasnt very much help. He had no answers as to why I am not getting pregnant, and said that it just takes time and I will eventually conceive. There were no special tests or anything! I am unsure of what this scarring/scar tissue is from and if it can cause infertility. I don't have med insurance and there was only one other gyn in my city and he wouldn't see me. I still get painful cramps but not as much now, but still not pregnant. Any suggestions or advice? Please reply and let me know asap!
