Re: New here with UD, PG, M/C questions...

[Guest guest]

Hi Kris, welcome. I am not UD, but what I have learned on this site,

I agree that your UD should not be causing early m/c. I assume since

you have been seeing an RE for so long that you have had all the

bloodwork and other tests done regarding fertility and m/c. Does

your RE have lots of MA experience?? Is there any way you could

actually be SU, as SU is very well known for causing early m/c. I

just wanted to say welcome and to wish you the best. Also, if you

don't mind, I was wondering how much IUI and IVF cost, as my brother

may very likely have to try those. Thanks, and I hope you get a lot

of info here.

Hi ,

Thanks for responding so quickly.

No I don't think there's any way they could have mistaken my UD.

They saw 2 completely separate utes during my lap, so UD it is.

I have been through the gamut of tests and other than endo, they

don't see anything else wrong. That was lasered out 1 year ago,

and my RE doesn't feel there's any need to check it again. I have

to say that AF isn't as painful as it had been when I had the endo

too, so I'll just guess it's okay since I have nothing else to go on.

No, my RE is not to well learned about UD. He's done some

resections (3) in the past, but I think that's about it. He tells me

continuously how " special " I am. It's fun being special when it

doesn't cause heartache, ya' know?

My IUI were covered by insurance so I don't really know how

much they would have cost, but I think I've heard somewhere in

the $3,000 range. IVF costs vary too. I'm with SIRM in NYC, and

they have a plan where you can try 3 fresh ivf's with all FET's for

$16,000. If you still end up without a baby at the end of that, they'll

refund some money, depending on which category you fit into.

Sorry your brother might have to experience this. It all sucks.

Best of luck

Hi Kris,

Welcome to the board. I think you'll find a lot of great info and

very supportive, knowledgeable members here.

I also have UD, much like you, equal size etc. I have had three,

full-term, relatively 'normal' pregnancies and have three great

kids. I wanted to address your point about bloodflow because I have

heard this previously in relation to UD, but not to do with first

trimester MC. I was told it CAN become an issue later in pregnancy

and may be related to Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) in UD

babies. All my kids were on the small side, even at full term -

under 7 lbs - and my OB/GYN thought this could be due to reduced

blood flow to each individual uterus. Apparently there is some

number of main arteries that go to the uterus, and in the instance

where there are two uterine cavities, the number of arteries isn't

duplicated, so each side only gets 'half' - not sure I am explaining

this well, perhaps you could do more online research.

The bottom line is that UD does generally have good pregnancy

outcomes, so there is hope. I would suggest trying to find a doctor

that has some experience with managing UD patients specifically, as

well as getting as informed as possible on your own. I found I had

to insist on different approaches to my care, and I did get what I

asked for, but only because I knew what to ask.

Best of luck to you, I hope you find the encouragement and support

here that will help in your journey. It's a great group.

Kris,

Hi! I am also UD w/ 2 equal size uteri. Your post caught my eye...

> My first pg was

> achieved naturally, but ended in m/c at 9 weeks due to

> chromosomal abnormalities.

I had 1 end @ 6w & 1 @ 9w. Chromosomal abnormalities were to

blame. DH and I were geneticly tested but came back normal.

> uterus and thinks it is due to the lack of bloodflow.

Interesting...After my last m/c, tests showed that I had a potential

problem with homocystine levels (bloodflow/bloodclots). I was told

to take baby aspirin daily. During my last cycle though (after 4 mo

of aspirin), I spotted on and off for 2 wks then had another

period. My dr said it sounded like an irregular period (no other

symptoms) and it did clear up. I currently have no idea where I am

in my cycle (I think a couple dpo) and am only taking baby aspirin

from O day to period. I think that the baby aspirin was too much

for me every day.

Hope that helps,

C.
