Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 <<Hi! My name is and I am 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby - a GIRL! I found out I have a bi-cornate uterus at my first U/S (@ 6 weeks pregnant). My bi-cornate has the middle part coming all the way down to just before the cervix (I have 1 cervix) with my baby completely in the left side of my uterus. I have my cervix measured every other week through transvaginal U/Ss and so far so good but I am still very nervous and praying daily. Im glad I found this group! >> Congratulations, ! I am also glad you found us. Your cervix sounds good, and anyhow, at 25 weeks the danger has pretty much passed for an incident of incompetent cervix. May you keep on doing so well. :-) Beth -- full septum reduced to partial septum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Hi, . Congratulations on your pregnancy! I had my first baby, a little girl on 9/5/01 and I have a bicornuate uterus (diagnosed at 8 weeks pregnancy). My daughter was full term and is wonderfully healthy. I carried her in my right side of my uterus but she used a little " leg room " (literally) on the left side too. Best wishes to you - glad you found us! There are many success stories here.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi Sara! Welcome. I'm SO sorry about your loss. As I've learned, but still have fully believed yet - pregnancy outcomes with a BU are pretty good. But, you are smart to follow up and find out more. Be careful with the HSG. It's a great initial test, but you may need to follow up with an MRI to get more information. I was initially misdiagnosed with a unicornuate uterus via the HSG. Only the MRI detected my BU. Patience is part of this and has been a very hard thing for me to learn. I don't think I'm there yet You sound very well educated so far - much more so than when I started! Best wishes and let us know how things go. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi Sara, Welcome to the group, and sorry to hear of your recent loss. This group is a great support and great source of info too. I have also had 2 miscarriages (at 12 and 8 weeks) this past year. I have a septate uterus, 2 cervices, vaginal septum. I am having surgery to remove my uterine septum on Thursday. You seem to be taking charge by having the questions you want answered at your Dr. appointment. That's great! As you mentioned, it is important to distinguish between BU and SU, and I'm glad you will be talking to your Dr. about this. Let us know what happens at your appointment. Again, I'm sorry about your loss. Miscarrying is a very difficult experience. A big hug to you. Take care, _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hello Sara and welcome. I am sorry about your loss. You found a great place for support and information. It sounds like you have already been doing some of your own research and that is great. I am still going through tests to find out what type of uterus I have. I lost a baby at 13 weeks and I have had an hsg and 2 MRI's and I am still waiting for the results. The RE suspects a t-shape, bu or su, but who knows since he won't return my call. Good luck with your testing. New here! Hi, I'm Sara Gibbs. I'm new to the group. I'm 33 years old and I miscarried my first in early December 2001 at 12 weeks. My m/c was a blighted ovum, which they said was not related to my uterus. However, at the same time that I was told I was miscarrying, my OB also told me that I had heart shaped uterus, but didn't make a fuss over it. I found this group shortly after and have been trying to research as much as possible. I don't know much about my condition because I was dealing with the m/c at the time, but her nurse told me that the OB wrote in my chart that she suspected BU. I have an appt. this Thurs with the same OB as follow-up. She mentioned before that she wanted to do an x-ray (I'm assuming she means HSG). Hopefully I will get that scheduled in January. I've been trying to be patient for this next appointment as I have millions of questions. Like many of you, I have been very scared at all of the articles I read. But I also have found that you all give me lots of hope and it is a great comfort to read your experiences. I'm anxious to get an accurate diagnosis. I want to review my ultrasound results with the OB at this next appt. I'm wondering why she thinks I'm BU - did she see the fundus that well on the US to know that I'm not SU? Is that possible or reliable? I know that lap/hys is the gold-standard, so I will discuss that at the next appt. I'm open to any advice on getting an accurate diagnosis. I'm so glad that I found this group. I was a mess after miscarrying and then finding out I have an MA. You ladies have helped me from freaking out before I have a chance to meet with the dr. You have all been in my prayers since I found you. Thank you Beth for bringing us together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I'm glad I have somewhere to come to talk with people that understand. , what kind of testing did you have to determine that you were su and not bu? Was your septum complete? Sara nannobanan@ao l.com To: MullerianAnomalies cc: 01/09/02 Subject: Re: New here! 06:44 AM Please respond to MullerianAnom alies sara your story sounds similar to mine-they thought i was bu and i was later diagnosed as septate (i had septoplasty in Sept and am currently ttc) This is a wonderful group, but we're sorry you have to be here!!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hello! I am new to IE. I am a recovering dieter (lost 40 lbs, 148), recovering emotional binger (then gained 30, 178), discovered mindful eating (lost 10, 168), but recently I've begun dieting again (lost 5 lbs), and currently find myself binging again! I want to nip this in the bud! I stopped binging the first time after reading Overcoming Overeating, I lost about ten pounds. I then got sucked into the dieting habit.. I moved and was lonely and thought losing some weight (I don't really *need* to lose any, I'm pretty and strong (not to mention married) at 5'8 and 163 lbs) might make it easier for me to make friends. WOP! I started binging again! Foo. I need to learn my lesson. That's why I am hoping this book will help me. Luckily I caught it right away! I also really want to " get into " yoga, and start to focus on mindfulness in all aspects of my life. I feel like over eating to the point of super-fullness is greedy and wrong. I'm tired of wasting food and money through binging. It's STUPID! When part of me tries to taste the food I'm binging on, I'm usually disgusted. Peanut butter filled pretzels from the drug store taste stale and fake. Eating 900 calories (like I did today) of them is unnecessary and ridiculous! I think I have an excellent metabolism, I am young (23) and quite active. I doubt I will gain weight on this program. I might though... just because I'll have to make peace with peanut butter and sugar, but I've done it in the past and can do it again. I just have to buy the two gallons of all-natural, deliciously rich peanut butter and say: " LISTEN. I'm not throwing you away. You're sitting right here and I can eat as much as I want of you, but only when I'm hungry for you, and only enough to satisfy myself. " LOL I've thrown away so many jars of peanut butter over the past few months my husband gets nervous when he sees it in the pantry. I always say " I HAVE TO CONQUER THIS DEMON! " and he says " Just be careful not to binge on it... " I think his warnings make me more likely to binge! OK, too much. I have to go finish reading the book now. I will probably use it in collaboration with Overcoming Overeating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hi Ruthie, I'm glad you found this site, and I hope it can help you find peace with food. Binging is straight up not fun regardless of whether your are a healthy weight or not. About PB, this was my number one binge food...that I hardly eat much anymore. I think when you eat tons of PB, it is a very good sign that you are underfed...eating too little. PB is very nutrient dense, and I think our bodies know that very well. So, when we eat too little (because of diet restricting), our bodies go for the thing that will make up the difference the quickest. Now that I eat more nutrients through out the day and satisfy my physical hunger, PB is just another food...Wow, I can't believe I just said that...oh, how far I have come! Amy > > Hello!
