As I said i am being refered to a specialist soon so I'll probably be

having more tests soon to confirm, (Which I will probably be coming

on here to ask you all about).

And I really wanted to see the uss but the radiologist that did it

for me didn't let me. I was abit upset but I'm sure they'll let me

see one day.

Hi Ros,

I don't know what the laws are in your state, but you have a right to

at least view your medical records/films. I belong to Kaiser in

Northern California and they lent me my films from my MRI free of

charge. Even if they won't give you copies, I'm sure if you became a

squeeky enough wheel they would let you check them out. You may even

want to suggest that they let you borrow them since it may be a

policy to allow patients to borrow records but it might not be widely

advertised.

I'm very happy that I was able to view my films, though, because I

took them to a doctor outside of my group plan who found that nothing

could be viewed very well from the MRI. Kaiser's radiologist had

dx'd me as arcuate with sub-septum but when I saw the outside doctor

she said " give me a break! You can't tell anything from this...you

need to have a lap/hyst done to really see the outside contour and to

get a good view of the septum " .

I contacted my doctor at Kaiser who said that she had felt a little

iffy about the DX from the radiologist as well and was just about to

call me to schedule me with an RE to do a lap/hyst.

I did have to argue with my health plan to finally schedule me with

an RE without trying to charge me for infertility treatment since

what we have is a birth defect (thank you to all of the wonderful

ladies here who helped me with this) and not just an infertility

issue. Now I'm patiently waiting for day 3 of my cycle (today's day

2) to get blood work done and get scheduled for my consultation with

the RE.

It's amazing how long it takes to get things straightened out, but

I've found that by being VERY pushy and standing my ground when the

insurance company tries to give me minimal service that I am finally

getting the medical care I deserve.

I hope you get access to those films and get a definite DX!

Jasmine,

It does take a long time from begining to end. It took me 3 m/c to get

referred to an RE. From there I had to wait 2 months for an apt. The it was

4 more months from first apt to my septum resection. Now DH and I are in mo

3 of ttc. - Liz
