endometrial ablation...now pregnant

[joelle771]

Hello everyone....I am new to the community, I am 16 wks pregnant, I had an ablation done in Nov 06, was under the impression I wouldn't be able to conceive again (which was fine, I have 3 beautiful children). I am engaged to be married in april, and in Jan discovered that we are pregnant!!! wow...what a shock! I am so very excited...yet, worried..although my Doctors feel I have nothing to be concerned about, They have seen this before! Anyone else experience this?? Add to this the fact that I am 36 years old...WOW...just boggling to the mind!I know that I had alot of trouble finding information on the internet about pregnancy and ablation, so I thought I would post and keep everyone up to date!

I hope you know how serious this can be for both you and the baby. I'm sure your doctor warned you about what could happen should you get pregnant.

Well, I was 9 wks when I found out. It was the very LAST thing i suspected, but, yes an obvious blessing!!! :)

Actually, I was not very well informed about the ablation when I had the procedure done, of course I was also not concerned with getting pregnant as I have been a single mom for a very long time with no sex life, just VERY heavy periods...to me an ablation seemed perfect. I thought "I have three wonderful beautiful children, no potential husband in the near future and i'm 33 years old...no worries.." Michael and I met and fell in love very quickly...one of those you just know kind of things..very storybook...he has no children, has never been married and really had no previous relationships to speak of....boy did I get lucky!!!! Anyway, this pregnancy has been a blessing in many ways, I was not very happy initially, neither was he, however as time goes by, I am realizing the TRUE blessing it is turning out to be.
     I am being EXTREMELY careful...although, with an ablation the danger is in the placenta not growing. So far, everything is well. I will continue to have an u/s at every dr's appointment to make sure the placenta is growing . I know things can go wrong, however, I also know this is a blessing and I am not going to stress about things that I can't control. I have placed it in a higher power and I trust that he will take care of it! My doctor now seems to feel everything will go just fine, yet, he's making sure all the proper precautions are taken as well.

I really do hope that all goes well for you. Good luck.

I had an eblation done like 4 years ago and ended up pregnant last year.  It was not a viable pregnancy.  I am once again pregnant.  How likely is that to happen to a person?  If the 1st one wasn't viable does that increase the chances that this is also not a viable pregnancy? Has anyone had that happen before?
