Resection of vascular SU ? (m/c ment)

[Guest guest]

Happy New Year Ladies!

I have heard a few of you mention that you had a resection of a

vascular / muscular or wide septum...I am looking for as much

information about this as possible!

History: I had a m/c at 7 wks back in March 2004 - this was my first

pregnancy and the doc noticed the uterine anomaly on ultrasound. I

had an MRI and was referred to an RE to determine whether it was

BU/SU. They scheduled a resection for me right away, but then

consulted with some other 'experts' and decided to do an HSG. I was

diagnosed as sub-septate, with a wide, vascular septum that only

extends partway down. The RE did not recommend surgery and said I

should just try again. So I did - the baby implanted at the fundus

(relatively close to, but not, on the septum). Everything was fine

until 17.5 wks - I started bleeding/cramping, had an ultrasound and

found out the baby had passed away about a week prior.

This all happened about 4 weeks ago, and now I'm just trying to

figure out what to do next. I still have not heard anything back as

far as test results on the baby, but it seems most likely that the

septum was the problem. My OB is going to refer me back to the RE -

but I really scared that they don't think they can operate on my

septum. I seem to remember the RE saying that it would bleed a lot

and probably make things worse...Does any one have any thoughts on

this?? Thanks!
