Hi - Would that be lupron? Maybe decapeptyl?

Wishing you a healthy recovery.

Welcome!

Well, you are past the hard part already. You sound like you have a

great dr and had all of the right things done. I'm very sorry for

your loss. As you read the posts, however, you will see how many

women are not as lucky to find good medical care and have to push

their drs to make the correct diagnosis about their mullerian

anomaly.

I m/c in Dec 2001 at 12 wks. Like you the u/s showed a funky uterus,

my ob later did an HSG and told me I was bicornuate. I went on to

find other drs to do more tests and later had a lap/hys to diagnose

and remove my septum (BU was wrong dx for me). I needed another

surgery to completely remove the septum.

I waited 2 cycles after my last surgery to ttc. I had a chemical pg

the first cycle. It ultimately took us 6 cycles (starting w/

natural/IUI, moving onto clomid/IUI and ultimately gonal-f/IUI)

before getting pg. We tried for almost a year to get pg w/ #1, so

the RE recommended that we try these fertility treatments after the

last surgery.

But tomorrow I will be 34 weeks and this has been a VERY uneventful

pg. If you had no probs getting pg before the resection, you should

be able to look forward to the same now that the SU is gone. I'm

happy to read that you will have a follow-up HSG. That is the best

insurance that the surgery was a success.

Welcome to the group and good luck ttc!

Sara,

Thanks for the support and telling me your story. You are a true

success story...congrats on becoming a mom This gives me hope that

even though it may take some (more time...ugh!) time, I hopefully will

be in your shoes someday soon. I have great docs, you are right. I

am being followed by my regular OB and a fertiliy doc who is having us

try on our own for 3 months (while watching my progestrone levels). If

nothing happens then I will see him for treatment. I am grateful for

him and that he is so progressive and not telling me to try for a year

before taking some action. Keep us posted on your progress and again

Congrats!!

Hello all,I am new to the group and new to the concept of intuitive eating. I got online yesterday and decided to look for weight loss support and found this group listed among many others. All I knew was that I didn't want to join Weight Watchers for the umpteenth time. Unlike some of the posts I've been reading here I am not addicted to the scale. On the contrary - I avoid it like the plague! I think my problem has always been my ability to live in denial, but I'm 55 now and it's hard to deny the fact that I have lost much of my mobility. My knees and lower back hurt so much I can hardly walk. A simple trip to the supermarket exhausts me so much that I'm finished for the rest of the day. I don't go out much anymore and often avoid social engagements. I need help, and I know it, but I don't know what to do. Even now, I question whether or not this approach will work or if it is just another attempt on my part to avoid having to let go of my addiction to sugar and other carbs. My eating is certainly emotional. I use food to compensate myself for everything else in life that I want and don't have (a successful relationship, financial abundance, etc.).

I look forward to reading some of the books listed and learning more about IE through the group discussions. Thanks for allowing me to join you. Best Regards,

Hi ,One thing that really convinced me that this way of eating can work is by looking back at when I was younger. I started out as a normal eater and was slender through my teens. Then I had a time where I didn't eat for a while due to being upset and I got very skinny. I also got on the pill around that time. Later in my teens, I started to have some weight issues, nothing major, but then I started to feel like I needed to deprive myself. The deprivation and binge cycle became stronger and stronger over the years and my weight only went up. I've seen this way of eating work. It's not easy. I can't eat any time I want. I do have to work at it, But I don't have to deprive myself of the foods that I love. That is a miracle. It's been so freeing to

me after restricting for so long.I guess one way to say it is, "It works if you work it." (a saying from Overeaters Anonymous)SharonSubject: HelloTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 1:40 PM

Thank you Sharon. I think I need to do some reading to really understand the philosophy and get with the program, but it makes so much more sense than constantly doing battle with your feelings and your urges. It really does seem like it might be the "organic" approach that I've been looking for. As someone else said - baby steps....but I feel encouraged.To:
