Dear Batgirl,

The conventional wisdom is that septa do not cause infertility,

although they can cause recurring miscarriage. Your OB-GYN may be

right, but the only way to confirm it would be to do a beta hCG test

shortly before your menstrual period is due.

For what it is worth, I had a complete septum and no endometriosis.

Having my septum operated on and reduced in size somewhat did allow

me to finally carry a baby to term. I had had a couple of very early

miscarriages that could have been caused by an inhospitable septum.

Taking out the septum probably could not hurt, and you might also

have some endo lasered off at the same time--doesn't it tend to recur

rather suddenly? I have heard that the optimal time to TTC following

endo lasering is within 6 months of surgery. So perhaps you might

kill two birds with one stone. Just a thought.

Good luck to you.

Thank you for the input. I tried to find out what that test is, but

all I found out is that is has something to do with pregnancy?

Please write back
