Pulling sensation after lap, is this due to adhesions?

I had laprosocopy 4 years ago to remove fibroids outside the uterine wall and I developed extensive adhesions.  Tried getting pregnant but not successful.  Did a laprotomy 6 months ago to remove fibroids again and unblock tubes.  3 months after surgery HSG shows tubes are open. I've been having a pulling sensation that I never had after the first surgery.  During this surgery fibroids were taken in and outside the uterus. I'm wondering if this pulling is due to the fact that adhesion is forming in my unterus and also if it is, what are the chances of getting pregnant?  I usually feel the pulling duiring ovulation time and during the time of implantation (5 - 10 days after ovulation).  It has gotten better but still occurs every month.  I was so sure I was preg during my last cycle, I had spotting for 1 day around 6 days after ovulation and other sxs, once the pulling started, I knew it was over.  I feel like the egg is trying to implant which around the adhesion area which in turn pulls/stretches thereby preventing implantation.  Anybody experience this or something similar?

Thanks, I actually will schedule a sonogram a month prior to starting IVF in 3 months if preg does not occur naturally before then.  

Anyone out there with a similar issue?

I'm sorry you've been going through these problems with fibroids and adhesions. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in this area, but I would suggest you set up a follow-up appointment with your doctor. That way, you'll be able to ask any questions you may have, and he/she might also be able to do a sonogram to see if there's anything unusual going on. Best of luck to you! I hope you get some answers and that you'll be able to get pregnant soon!
