There’s so much pressure to “fix” things surgically and it’s confusing honestly 😅 if you decided to wait or not go ahead with it, how has that been for you physically and emotionally over time?
Honestly this is what makes fertility decisions so mentally exhausting sometimes 😭 Once an anomaly gets found it suddenly feels like every single outcome afterwards gets blamed on the fact that you didn’t “fix” it surgically. I completely understand wanting to hear from ppl who chose watchful waiting instead of immediately jumping into another procedure bc sometimes the pressure to constantly intervene medically gets overwhelming too.
I get the pressure to fix it surgically. I chose not to have surgery for my uterine septum, and it was tough emotionally at first. Over time, I’ve realized that it’s a personal choice, and while IVF was a rollercoaster, I’m still hopeful. It’s all about what feels right for you.
Tbh I think one of the hardest parts was constantly wondering if I was making the “wrong” decision by waiting 😕 but I also didn’t want to rush into surgery just bc I felt pressured. For me it became more abt balancing anxiety over “what if” against whether the anomaly was actually causing ongoing problems or not 😞
I’m genuinely curious about this too because these decisions feel sooo personal and complicated 😕 Sometimes the anomaly itself sounds scary on reports but surgery also has risks/recovery attached to it, so I can understand why some people hesitate. I’d really love hearing long term experiences from ppl who chose monitoring or conservative management instead of surgery and how things turned out physically/fertility wise later.
