Re: AF after Septum Resection (mc & pg mentioned)

[Guest guest]

Hi again and thanks for the both replies. I am also told that in any

future pregnancies, I should get a cerclage at 12-13 weeks. However,

first I should get this septum out of my way!!!! I can't wait. I had

a very difficult 2003! I am so excited for you and glad to hear your

success story.

Take care
