Re: Need Your Opinion (pg ment)

[Guest guest]

Dear Komal,

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I think you are on the right track with the HSG as a next step. I

believe you should be able to see the inside shape of your uterus

from the HSG but if there is some question as to the shape (if they

suspect an MA) then I've been told from the ladies on this site that

an MRI may be the next step and then depending of course on your

results a lap/hyst is the gold standard for diagnosing the difference

between a BU or SU.

I was diagnosed as BU by transvaginal ultrasound before I got

pregnant. I didn't make it to the HSG because of the pregnancy but I

will pursue diagnosis when I am able.

Good luck in getting to the bottom of things. Be persistant. I think

it's great that your OB wants to check for other possibilities.

Hi Sylvana,

Thanks for the response.

I am just trying to guess I guess as to what are the chances that I

may have MA. O well ... I just need to be patient.

I am getting a cerclage for sure next time around. I have been

reading posts on this board for quite some time and seems like when

carrying a baby goes, MA is better than IC.

Lets see, will know in a few days.

Good luck with your pregnancy, by the way why did they do

transvaginal US??

During my prgnancy, I had transvaginal at 6 weeks then regular at 18

weeks and then lots more when I was in L & D trying to stop

PTL/cervical dialation and no one ever saw anything unusual. Thats

why I am suspecious about having any MA. But who knows.

Take care, Komal
