my update -(preg mentioned)

[Guest guest]

Hi all -

Thank you all for your support, I really love that this group exists!

Anyway, I had the hyst/lap in early November and then as the

doctor suggested waited one cycle and then bam

I just found out I'm five weeks pregnant -

when i think about the fact that we tried for over a year with no

luck, and then get my septum removed and the very next cycle I

am pregnant, I'm thinking there probably is something to the

septum/ infertility thing...

anyway, I've never been pregnant before, anyone have any advice

for me?

First...CONGRATS are SO in order! Wow that was quick wasn't it?? As for the

pregnancy...just ENJOY it. If your keeled over in your bathroom with morning

sickness...it is a GOOD thing (may not be fun but it is GOOD) Read all you can

find. I loved your pregnancy week by week. I found it very interesting. Oh yeah

and get out and walk, excercise, and watch what you eat. I gained a whopping

70lbs with DS and I SO regret it. (I lost it all but still)I am going to stay

active next time and eat good things. Being pregnant is not an open invitation

to eat whatever you want (at least that is what I am going to CONVINCE myself)

Have fun and I wish you a happy and UNEVENTFUL 9 months

A very large septum really can do a lot of damage to an embryo trying

to implant. If there's not a good lining on the septum, then an

embryo wouldn't make it, and you wouldn't even look like you were

briefly prg.

Try to relax (ha ha!). SU resected has such good stats--it's almost

as good as a normal uterus. Do, of course, have your doctor check

your cervix starting at around week 10-12, to get a baseline reading,

and then have the doc check every 2 weeks or so after that, either by

manual check or transvaginal u/s, or a combo of both. You need the

checks b/c SU women have a higher chance of incompetent cervix. And,

when you get into the 3rd trimester, just pay attention to your body

closely. If something doesn't feel right, then go bug the docs until

they really carefully check it out. Pre-term labor can easily be

mistaken for back pain, or for cramps, or whatever. It's good to be

vigilant. I'm hoping your prg will go smoothly! I'm SU resected,

and I had no probs at all with my prg.

Hugs,

Wow, that's awesome! Congratulations! I wish you a wonderfully boring

pregnancy.
