Paulette,
Hmmm, I think scars are the least of one's concerns if you're thinking children vs. no children~ you can always go back and have plastic surgery to help out with the scars later on... know women that have done this. |

Marriaa,
Scars yes are the least of my worries. Finding a donor is pretty high on my list of worries these days when it comes to pregnancy. Any of you guys out there with banked sperm what to make a donation? Adoption may be a better option for me.

That's what they all said: "I"m sorry but you'll have to bank it".
I wonder if having ADR complicates getting a cesearean. Good luck, Allan

I'm 34, finger's crossed waiting for ADR and when I'm all finished I DO want 1 more child. I'm a single mother now of a son and if that's still the case in another year or so when I'm recovered, don't laugh but "I'm going to the bank!!"

[qb]I think that if men could get pregnant too - there would be more choices for birth control [/qb][/QUOTE] AMEN, sister! Satisfied (and freakin' considerate!) vasectomy recipient here... ;-) Paulette - "Any of you guys out there with banked sperm want to make a donation?" This question reminded me of something that's been bothering me for a while. After seeing the numbers of members here who have both cervical and lumbar multiple level DDD I've wondered whether this isn't a condition which might be congenital. If research reveals this to be the case, then I'd think seriously about going elsewhere for "frozen pops"! Just a thought.

Humor is my way to make a bad situation not seem so bad. Guys the reality here is I was told that medically that I would never be able to bare children after ADR thus looking at this from a �medical� point not an �other� thus my original category of this topic. Now that we have had are fun with topic and been put in our place literally, lets get back to the original question�.

I ever imagined life without a children growing inside of me and feeding from my breast. It�s like a part of me will never get to live. I don�t expect everyone on the forum to understand this but I know there are others out there that feel the same as I do and I would like to know what your doctors think is possible. I am just not ready to let the hope completely die.

Paulette,
What reason did the doctor give re not being able to have children after ADR? I completely understand how you feel re that part of you that will never get to live since I made the choice not to have children because of my back problems~ altho if I were younger and childbearing age, I'd definately want to consult with various surgeons regarding their opinion on this~ (I know you're looking for persons who've had ADR to answer you question~ sorry I can't)~ |

Does anyone know what happened with Lor from the BPSG or MGH site(can't remember where I first saw her posts)? If I remember correctly, she was absolutely considering pregnancy after her ADR, which she had with Zeegers.
I think this would be worth an email to Regan, Bitan, Zeegers, Bertagnoli. Between them, they should have some experience with the relative risks. mmglobal? Can you front the question for us? Meanwhile, Paulette...I would get more than one OB/GYN opinion, especially from some high risk providers who might have more experience regarding managing complications from prior surgeries/traumas.
