2 infections from 2 abortions and now my ovary is tethered

UK and Ireland

Just wanting to vent because I didn’t know who to tell but I’ve had 2 terminations and got infections with each one. I got them treated early. I’ve had 2 scans 1 to check for pcos and 1 to check if all the tissue came out. Both times I was told my ovaries/ ovary seems tethered. Initially endometriosis was suspected but I don’t have any other symptoms that suggest endo, it’s been more than a year and I still stand by that it’s likely not endo.

Then I found out if you had an infection it can cause tethering and now I’m really positive this is as a result of 1 of my abortions. It always felt like a punishment that I got infected each time, I know it’s a stupid way of looking at it, but this almost reinforces that. I want to have kid(s) eventually but now I’m worried that it might be hard for me with 1 good ovary and the other in question. I guess we’ll see when the time comes.
