It does not sound as easily correctible as the doctor indicated though if your friend is any indication. Hopefully some doctors will respond with their insight as well. Thank you.

Cervical stenosis is not all the difficult to treat usually, though there are exceptions. Treatment consists of simple mechanical dilation, typically in the office, and is quite effective. Stenosis has to be very severe to cause infertility however, so either you have a severe variant, or this is not the cause of your problem.
