Hello everyone

Hi Ladies,

I just joined this post today after hearing of it on another site.

I'm a 24 year old female and am actually at home recovering from

laparascopy for endometriosis right now. I wanted to reach out for

some input from some who are perhaps more experienced in this area

than I. I went to my doctor this summer for pelvic pain. I'll spare

you the long boring details but after tons of tests, both GI and

female related it was determined likely endoemtriosis, and also

during all the testing a septate uterus was found. That was not the

reason for the pain, as I'm told that a septate in itself would not

cause any pain. So anyways, just this past week I had surgery to

remove the endometriosis. My doctor debated with the idea to remove

the septate at the time as well. However, I am not currently trying

to get pregnant, nor have I ever before, and since we don't know that

septum will automatically be a problem for me, he decided that for

now it was probably in my best interest to leave it alone. He sought

the advice of many reproductive specialists in this area and nobody

seemed to really have a 100% sure answer as to what the right thing

was to do. None of the doctors had ever come across a woman who

found out about a septate uterus in the circumstances in which I

did. Normally the women have had fertility issues. I'm just hoping

the right decisions were made. It seems that my chances are slightly

above 50% right now, and if they would have removed it now there was

always the risk of further damage. Just wondering if anyone out

there has had any situation similiar and could offer me some

insight. I think I'm just wanting reassurance that I did the right

thing for the time being. Thanks to all!
