Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hi Dee, Hmmm...that's news to me...I've never heard of a UU only being able to get pregnant by IUI. I'm on my second " natural " pregnancy. Although, it took a good seven years! But, I also have endometriosis " issues " . I was under the impression that I only have half the chance of a " normal " woman conceiving with the anomaly because only one ovary and tube are connected. (My endo adds to my conception difficulties.) I'm sure the other ladies can provide much more input than I--since I have no experience with injectables, etc. /UU me 30 dh 43 6 wks preg. 1 m/c 6/03 > Hi all, > At the beginning of this year I was diagnosed with a UU (HSG & then > ultrasound for kidneys).

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Dee, I'm still trying to figure out why your doctor went straight to IUI? I have a right UU and I got pregnant with my son the 1st month I tried. I went on to lose him at 24 weeks though. I didn't know about my uterus until after I had him. You shouldn't have any fertility problems BECAUSE of your MA. Don't get me wrong, we can definitley still have problems just like anybody else. Is your one tube open? I don't understand why you aren't trying naturally. Best of luck to you. ~ 1 loss @ 24 weeks ~ Right UU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
