Iām hoping to hear from women who have experienced something similar, as well as gynecologists or medical professionals who can offer advice.
Here is what happened to me:
- October 23: I had a surgical abortion at 12 weeks of pregnancy using suction aspiration.
- October 29: I had a second suction procedure because retained tissue was found in my uterus.
- October 31: I had another ultrasound, and the doctor said there was still something inside my uterus that appeared to have a heterogeneous (mixed) structure. I have attached the ultrasound image.
Iām extremely worried and confused about what this means.
I would really appreciate answers to these questions:
- Is it normal for the uterus to show a heterogeneous appearance after two suction procedures within a short period?
- Could this be blood clots, changes in the uterine lining, or retained pregnancy tissue?
- Is it still possible to get pregnant with this kind of appearance inside the uterus?
- Can the uterine lining recover and return to normal after two suction procedures?
- Is there a risk of developing intrauterine adhesions (Ashermanās syndrome) after repeated suction procedures? How can this be checked?
My biggest fear is that I may no longer be able to get pregnant and have children in the future. Having a baby is something I truly want.
If anyone has experienced retained tissue after an abortion, needed a second suction procedure, and later successfully conceived and had a healthy baby, please share your story.
I would also be very grateful for advice from gynecologists or fertility specialists. What tests should I have, and what should my next steps be?
Iām reading every comment. Thank you so much for your kindness and support. šā¤ļø
