Re: AF after Septum Resection

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I guess I just sent you another email but I read about your cerclage

just now. Was your IC a result of resecting your septum? The reason

I ask is that I have IC. I had a 9W m/c last January and a 21W m/c

in August 2003. The second one was three weeks after preventive

cerclage (the cervix was already open so didn't help as much even

with full bed rest). I am told that many people with partial septum

have IC as well. Did you get that after your surgery? I know that I

need a cerclage in any future pregnancy but was worried if resecting

septum would make my cervix weaker.

Take care of yourself and just a few weeks to go! I am really happy

for you!

Take care
