Pregnancy after Endometrial Ablation

I am looking for more info on pregnancy after an endometrial ablation.  I had an ablation in May 2002.  January 2003 I was not feeling well and went to the family doctor.  She thought it may be an ectopic pregnancy since I was told I was sterile.  I had an ultrasound to discover it was an interuterine pregnancy and I was about 9 weeks.  I am now 17 weeks and for the past month trying to decide to terminate or continue.  I am having a very hard time finding any info on any one with this happening to them and the risks to me or my unborn child.  I have seen several doctors and none of them have ever heard of this happening and 2 have suggested termination.  I have an appointment with a high risk specialist on Thursday (02/27/03).  Please tell me where I can find more info or who to contact.  Thanks.

I would really like to speak one on one with any of you that's had successful pregnancies after the ablation. I had a tubal now 8 years ago and the ablation done 3 years ago and now I'm pregnant and in pain all the time. My tubes are no longer tied and seemed to have naturally grown back together. Anyway if anyone is available to talk let me know and I can give you my email address. Thanks ladies.

Hello all,
I just came across the is forum while researching ablations. I am a 23 yr old who was diagnosed with PCOS at age 16 and told at that point there was a very slim chance I would ever get pregnant without medical help. I had no periods for years due to my body refusing to cycle and hormone imbalance. Now the doctors have jump started my body, but my periods are awful! Pain and fatigue, nausea and insomnia, bloating, breakouts, heavy cramping and clotting; the whole nine yards. Symptoms last most of 3 weeks out of the month cause me to miss school, work, and life in general. As an added bonus, I am allergic to birth control and hormones in general.

Now I've been told there is nothing else that can be done for me except an EA and tubal ligation. I know I am young. I know it is a big decision. I guess my question is, do you ladies think that EA is a viable option? I've been told my only other option would be a hysterectomy, which I really would not want at my age.

You are really a kid at the age of 24. Don't give up your ability to have children. Honestly, you may feel that you know, but honestly, take it from a 54 year old, you really don't know. This is too big of a deal to loose your chance unless the pain and bleeding is just too much. If things become too difficult, I would say, have it because you don't have a choice. You would be able to adopt if you decide to have children.
