What your mom probably had was intrauterine adhesions - scar tissue that can form inside the uterus after a D&C that is done improperly and scraped too deeply. It is also called Asherman's Syndrome. If you are having your period then rest assured - your cervix is NOT blocked and my guess is that you do not have any adhesions in your uterus. If you have had an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) done (I REALLY hope you have!!) then it would've showed up on that. If you have not had one done yet, I'd have one done BEFORE you do anything else (ASAP!!), just to make sure your tubes are not blocked. I know it can be stressful wondering why everything isn't working when you think everything has been fixed. Sometimes it just doesn't happen and it isn't anyone's fault. Just try to be patient. Believe me, I understand and I know patience is next to impossible when trying to conceive, and I also know that clomid does not make ANYTHING any easier, but just try to do what you can because stress is your enemy right now.

I totally agree with the poster above - I sincerely hope that DH has already been checked. I had a doctor put me on clomid and not monitor me as well, and I had to MAKE him test my husband AND do the HSG test (unbelievable!!).

I also just had ovarian drilling done and do not have coverage for anything related to infertility. I think every plan is different and it doesn't hurt to at least TRY to get it covered, but I can tell you personally that for me, mine was not covered and we are paying out of pocket.

Best of luck to you.
