Re: Hysteroscopy - Septum Resection

[Guest guest]

Hi Zohreh , i just had me septum resection yesterday and it was at a surgical

center under anesthesia, I didn't feel; a thing, when they woke me I was

crampy and had a pee bag (what do you call those things) well anyway it was

over before I knew it, i do not recommend being awake unless you have a

high pain tolerence, also the safety of the hospital is important. my doctor

told

me my septum was large , but a partial one, i hope I don't need a second

resection but if given the choice to go through another resection or another

miscarriage than i'd do the resection. I am always worst case scenario girl so I

seem to be preparing for the worst when I should just be reveling in my new

probably roomy uterus. Lucy resected yesterday

, I hope to be pregnant soon, your some inspiration for me, I need that

right now, sounds like things are going well with the pregnancy.

Lucy, SU , I MC, resected dec 22, 2003 and healing

Hi Lola,

I had my septum resected on 11/26 and RE told me to wait THREE

cycles before TTC. From what I've heard, other women have been told

to wait 1 or 2 cycles. So I guess my doc is being very conservative.

By the way, I was on estrogen for 30 days after the surgery, with

progesterone for the last 10 days. AF showed up exactly 31 days

after the surgery - yay! One cycle down, 2 to go...

Good luck with your surgery!
