Re: Help, we need support regarding a diagnosis of double or split uterus!

[Guest guest]

It sounds like your daughter has a septate uterus (SU). It also

sounds like her doctor doesn't have much experience dealing with

this - probably the first step she wants to take is to go to a

reproductive endocrinologist, and hear from someone who is much more

experienced and knowledgeable.

If she does have an SU, then the surgery that was performed to remove

that uterine wall will help her carry a pregnancy to term, since the

baby has less chance to implant on an area of the uterus which cannot

support it. There are many women on the board who have had that

surgery (metroplasty) done. I am awaiting information on it right

now.

As for not being able to carry a baby, there are difficulties

involved, yes. However, I had a full-term, 8 lb boy before I even

knew I had a septum, and mine is quite severe. There are success

stories among us.

Good luck to you and your daughter.

The first thing that comes to mind is: PLEASE go to a

specialists who deals with this sort of thing. An RE

(reproductive endocrinologist) is your best bet. Ask

for credentials, and experience in cases such as this.

You don't want someone who doesn't know too much

about this touching your daughters reproductive

organs!!!!! Do a lot of research to educate

yourselves before going to the doctor, so that you can

see if you feel comfortable with his advise on what to

do next to concieve. I hope this helps at least a

little! Remember-this is a great support group, and

we are here for you and your daughter!!!!!! Best of

luck to you!! -Amy W.

I am sorry about your daughter's loss. Your daughter should really see a

specialist. I am sure a specialist could help her and if she is monitored

closely with her next pregnancy she should be alright.

Have these procedures already been done? That's what

it sounds like, and if so, did the dr. allow you to

get a 2nd opinion first? That is a drastic

step-removing part of a uterus-for someone that

supposedly has only seen this anomoly in textbooks.

Not exactly someone I would want making that kind of

decision for me.

(I may have totally misunderstood this post. I'm half
