Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I've been meaning to update everyone here and this morning's message about septum removals prompted me to finally write this post. I joined awhile back after my first miscarriage -- the maternal-fetal specialist I saw during that pregnancy saw something " not normal " and " likely bicornuate " on his ultrasound. I had an inconclusive HSG, which proclaimed that my uterus was " not normal " and " somewhat t-shaped " . I got pregnant and miscarried again, which prompted my OB to opine that perhaps I was really septate, but just to make sure, we should try again and see what happens because my insurance wouldn't cover a hyst/lap anyway. I declined his offer of a third miscarriage (!) and went to see the RE, who decided that I was likely septate and experiencing some inflammation and needed a hyst/lap (which was fully covered by my insurance). Well, last week I had my hyst/lap and it appears to have been a complete success. He removed a septum (I'm waiting for the post op report to get the full details), found some inflammation (and prescribed antibiotics for that) and believes that I will likely have a successful pregnancy next time around. We're thrilled! Aside from a couple of days where I did nothing but sleep, some nasty looking bruises on my belly, and a little spotting, I didn't have any bad side effects from the surgery (no gas pains, even!). He doesn't use a catheter or any post-op hormones, but did tell me that before we start trying again, he wants both me and DH to do another round of antibiotics. He said we could start trying after my next cycle, but I think we're going to wait 2 cycles just to give everything a chance to heal well. I wanted to thank all of you for all of the helpful and informative posts -- you guys gave me the courage to ignore my OB and trust my instincts to seek an RE's opinion (and to go get a different OB!!!). Thanks! , SU (resected 12/04), 2 m/c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hi -- Conngratulations on your successful surgery--I'm glad you are healing well and I wish you wonderful good luck in the coming months. I too was resected recently (Nov. 15th) and was told to try again next cycle, and I also had no follow-up catheter or hormones. I trust my dr. and feel fine about this---I am also going to wait one more month, but am eager to try again. I had a loss this year as well and decided I needed to be proactive in fixing what was fixable to better our future chances. I applaud you for following through and not listening to the doctor who wanted you to take the chance on a third loss (really now--these people are unbelievable). It sounds like you are in good hands, in a good place---and taking great care of yourself. , 36 SU with a " dip " Resected 11-15-04 In a message dated 12/6/2004 5:10:38 PM Eastern Standard Time, " Marsh " writes: > >I've been meaning to update everyone here and this morning's message about >septum removals prompted me to finally write this post.
