Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 If you have a bicornuate uterus and have had bleeding early in pregnancy, what explanations have you been given by your providers? I just don't undrstand how one side can shed it's lining when the hormones that are meant to sustain it are at such high levels. What knowledge do any of you have on this subject?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 - Hi Alison, I was told the same thing by my ob/gyn when I started bleeding at 6 wks & they suspected I had a bcu (it was actually a septum when I had lap/hyst). My new RE told me that isn't true & any bleeding has a reason. They found that I have a blood clotting problem & will need heparin during the next pregnancy. I'm also on baby asprin during ttc. Some women seem to have unexplained bleeding & get through it. Others don't. If you're pg, I'd encourage you to keep asking for answers & (if not you're not already) see a Perinatalogist. Best of luck to you, W, ttc on my own for now My Angels, 3-22-03 21.4wks & SweetPea 12-24-04 11wks -- In MullerianAnomalies , " logan_alison " wrote: > > If you have a bicornuate uterus and have had bleeding early in > pregnancy, what explanations have you been given by your providers? > I just don't undrstand how one side can shed it's lining when the > hormones that are meant to sustain it are at such high levels.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 My doctor gave the " the other side is trying to have a period " explanation to me as a possibility. But it was a possibility only kind of thing. My progesterone level was low and after the spotting I was put on a supplement. I personaly think I had the spotting cause I was over doing it. I had started a new exercise regime just before finding out I was pregnant and I think that had a lot to do with it. My bleeding was at 6 weeks. > > If you have a bicornuate uterus and have had bleeding early in > pregnancy, what explanations have you been given by your providers? > I just don't undrstand how one side can shed it's lining when the > hormones that are meant to sustain it are at such high levels.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Thank you for your responses. Here's a little background. I have lost two first trimester pregnancies. 7wks and 10wks. I am close to 6wks preg again. I have been taking baby aspirin since my last loss and started the Lovenox last week because of clotting issues. I had some light brown when I wiped the other day and yesterday I had a little more that was more red. Not bright red, but it wasn't brown either. I bled like this in my second preg and even worse, passing clots and everything and things were still OK for a while after that. I am going to try to schedule an appt with the Peri for next Monday and get some things straight. I'll let you know how things go. Until then I am trying to take it easy.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi there, When I had my first drs. appt at 9 weeks, I was sent directly to a peri dr. because I had unexplained bleeding. They did a u/s and told me I was UD....after several more weeks of bleeding (never severe, more or less spotting) I got frustrated with the lack of answers I was recieving so I switched perinatal drs. The old ones only told me that sometimes bleeding happens due to implantation issues and shedding on the empty side, etc... I was almost 16 weeks when I had my first appt at the new dr., thankfully by then the bleeding had stopped. They suspect I'm BU, and were surprised that nobody tried to find out what was causing my bleeding. In any case, if you are unhappy with the answers you get, change drs....I'm much more confident with the new ones. I'm almost 21 weeks right now (knock wood), and I see them every other week. The old dr. only wanted to see me every 4-6 weeks ! So, in any case..best of luck to you. Keep us posted ! - logan_alison alison.hales@...> wrote: Thank you for your responses.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I have a bicornuate uterus, and at 6 wks was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma, its a blood clot in the uterus and bleeds out or gets reabsorbed. did they do an u/s on you? My doctor told me my hematoma was caused by my Bicornuate uterus. with both my pregnancies ive never had one side shed its lining. You might also have low progesterone, which i also had. Keep us updated! your in my prayers! - On Wed, 09 Mar 2005 13:43:16 -0000 " logan_alison " alison.hales@...> writes: If you have a bicornuate uterus and have had bleeding early in pregnancy, what explanations have you been given by your providers?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 when you say you have a blood clotting disorder, do you mean you had a subchorionic hematoma?? that causes you to bleed alot and pass large clots. If so i have a wonderful support group i could give you the webpage, and anyone else who has a subchorionic hematoma. -HEather On Wed, 09 Mar 2005 15:43:08 -0000 " logan_alison " alison.hales@...> writes: Thank you for your responses.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Alison, It sounds like you are on the right path & a Peri is definitely the best choice. When they found I had a clotting problem during my 2nd pg it was too late. The baby didn't have a heartbeat but all of the testing the RE did ruled out many things & found the clotting problem. She also suspects that my first loss at 21.4 wks was from the same problem. I had several severe bouts of bleeding with him. She said the clotting will cause problems with blood flow to the placenta & can cause it to detach. It breaks my heart that a simple blood test could have found this the first time. Too many times docs think problems & miscarriage are just a normal occurance & do nothing to find out why. It's up to us to push for the answers. I'm glad you're doing what you can & I wish you much luck with this baby. I'll be saying a prayer for you as well as all of us who are ttc or pg.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I am so sorry for your losses. What a tragedy. My records are being sent to the Peri as we speak. I should be ale to get in within the next week. I went into my OB yesterday afternoon for an U/S just for reassurance. Still too early to see a heartbeat but the gest.sac and the yolk sac were present. Going back next week for another one. I'm having my levels drawn today and Sat to make sure they are going up. So I'm feeling better about things for the moment. We also found out it is on the left side. My other two were on the right. I have two very distinct horns. The split goes all the way down to just above my cervix. They connect as one canal, but just barely! I have some great pics of it from my lap. I'll post them one of these days. What is your clotting problem? I have elevated anticardiolipin antibodies IgM. That is why I am on the Lovenox. What have they said will be your route of treatment next time? Thank you for the encouragement and best of luck to you!
