Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Welcome! I also have a bicornate uterus (possibly with a small septum at the bottom) and although it's been a long road (7 m/c over 12 years), I had a baby girl at age 29, a boy at age 36, and currently pregnant with twin boys ... my OB (who is excellent) doesn't really know why I had so many m/c as he says that BU doesn't cause m/c the way that SU does, but just kept encouraging me to try ... so here I am I would definitely get the HSG to see what is going on in there ... and I'd also recommend charting your fertility particularly if your periods aren't regular ... these ladies are great, a gold mine of information and there are many many success stories here good luck!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Mikki - I just read your post from August 13th. Sorry you are having so much discomfort right now. Good luck on making it past 32 weeks! I am very encouraged by your response to my post. Hopefully it won't take years for me to get pregnant as I am already 35. I was wondering though - how did they diagnose you with BU and distinguish from SU? I had an ultrasound (still waiting on the HSG) where they also did a transvaginal ultrasound which I heard is 80% accurate in diagnosing BU. Is it important if you are BU to know what the state of your septum is if it is only partial? Also, you mentioned uterine discomfort where your septum is...since we've been TTC I get a small pinching on the right side and I can press there and it's a bit tender........also been spotting 6 days post ovulation the last two months as well...just wondering if any of this sounds familiar. We've only been TTC for 3 months now. I am torn between my fear of not becoming pregnant and the fact that I am pursueing my BU condition after only 3 months trying. Thanks, Sylvana 35 BU? ttc #1 > Welcome!
