Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hi Maddie I am a UU'er with 2 tubes and 2 ovaries - are you exactly the same? If so, were you concerned that you would fall pregnant in your rudimentary horn? I am very worried about this. Janine UU update (preg ment) Hey everyone- An update from one of the UU's who disappeared from the board for a while... I found out after 3 years of infertility and miscarriages that I have a right-sided UU, two ovaries. We finally got pregnant again and held onto this one with the help of large doses of progesterone (my own levels were close to zero). I'm almost 36 weeks, and everything has gone smoothly. The anxiety and stress during first trimester were unreal, second trimester was better but still nerve-wracking, and now I've completely relaxed. I had good care, was checked every week, and stayed on progesterone up until last week. I had a few scares with cervical shortening, and once it looked like I was dilating, but I just restricted my activities more and things went back to normal. My goal was to avoid bedrest if at all possible. We are having a little girl (obvious from week 14 on, with all those scans!). She has been head-down for a while now, and is growing along a boringly average curve (yay!). No idea if we'll be able to deliver vaginally, but we will give it a shot, since all my providers agree it should be fine. It's amazing to look down at my fat belly with my daughter's feet poking out my side, and remember back to the day I watched my HSG and realized I might never be able to have a child. It was horrendous. I'll never forget how bad the infertility struggle was. But in case anyone is looking for hope, here it is! And if you look back a year or so, there are lots of UU success stories. Good luck to everyone! Maddie UU due the first week of August...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hi Maddie, Congratulations on 36 weeks! What a great story to share, I'm so happy for you. There is so much to worry about, its wonderful to hear the happy stories. Like you, I had almost 3 years of infertility prior this pregnancy. I've only started to relax since about week 28 - this is pretty normal for us " MA " ers I guess. Good luck during your last few weeks. a Complete SU 40 (!! - amazing) weeks pregnant today (its a girl as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Maddie, Congrats. I am so very happy for you, even to the extent that tears came to my eyes when I read your post. With all the negative information out there pretaining to a UU, and with us ttc for the last 2 years, it gives me hope that it can happen. Best of luck!

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 What great news! Congrats, Maddie! > It's amazing to look down at my fat belly with my daughter's feet > poking out my side, and remember back to the day I watched my HSG > and realized I might never be able to have a child. Amazing, isn't it...I know that so many of us have been through that exact same moment. I'll be looking forward to reading that your little girl has arrived! Any names, yet? Just a note to encourage you, I'm a UU and was able to have a vag delivery (at 36 weeks w/DS.) He was head down early on (which really surprised my OB) and probably didn't have room to turn after a while! So much for those statistics!! Good luck! UU, 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Maddie, First I want to say congrats on your pg and to have made it almost to the end. I'm also a right sided UU w/both ovaries, but no left rud. horn. My dh and I are trying again after 4 m/c. This time I am on 400mg of progesterone 2x a day and baby aspirin. I'm hoping it works this time. I actually take a pg test on Sunday. I ususally don't have any symptoms so I never really know until I take the test. How many ultrasounds did you have in the beginning and when they start doing them? It sounds like you're doing great - thanks for the hope!!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hi ladies, Is there anyone out there with a UU, and a rudimentary horn. Has anyone become pregnant in their horn or miscarried/had an ectopic? Would love to hear from you.
