Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hi I am 36, and got pregnant for the first time in August. At 9 weeks, it was discovered via US that I had a BU (at least that was the thought). No one seemed overly concerned, except that my risk for preterm delivery was high. I had a miscarriage at 14 weeks. No symptoms, it was discovered via US (the day after I had a CVS by a MFM). The MFM didn't have much to say about it either. Now that I have miscarried, I have to see a fertility specialist to get a closer look at the uterus, and determine if it is really a BU or a septate. Maybe someone can help me with these questions: 1) What type of test is best to determine BU vs. Septum? A hysterosalpingogram was mentioned to me, but I have read MRI is better. 2) I got no feedback about my baby's location in the uterus, other than it was on the right side. Has anyone been told where their baby's position was in relation to their septum/indent (ie, in a good spot vs a bad spot)? Neither my OB or MFM had any comment as to whether the baby was in a good spot. Thanks, any comments to this stressed out person would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi , I am so sorry for your loss, it also scares me to death, as I am 14 weeks pregnant right now. Did you have a 3D ultrasound at 9 weeks, or just 2D? They thought I had a BU until I had a 3D u/s at 10 weeks, then they concluded that it was septated. My doc is pretty sure it is complete, but can't be sure without having done an MRI on it. He never mentioned another test. He doesn't seem overly concerned either, just warned me about preterm labour and the baby maybe being breech. I asked him about incompetant cervix and he just said we will do another u/s at 18 and 24 weeks to watch for that. ?? I don't know either if my baby is in a " good " spot, I asked at my u/s at 12 weeks, and the tech just said they will look for that at 18 weeks, I am just doing the integrated preterm screening test now. Why can't they tell at 12 weeks? or 14? the placenta is attached now. I hope we both find some answers.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi Sherry I had a regular US at 9 weeks, due to my OB having trouble hearing a heartbeat. She just wanted to make sure that everything was okay. During this routine US, it was discovered that something with my utereus didn't look right. I am not sure why they can't tell you anything about the baby being in a " good " or " bad " spot. I found that strange also. I would think as long as it was not near the septum, it would be okay. I actually work at a hospital, and I spoke to a MFM I know when mine was first diagnosed. He told me that I was probably past the window of miscarriage from this BU or SU at that point. So, I tend to think my m/c was from some developmental problem with the baby. However, I do know the chromosomes were okay due to the CVS I had done. Who knows-- I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Keep pressing for information and close monitoring with your doctors. It is stressful enough trying to have a baby at this age, let alone having this diagnosis given to you too!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hi , Thanks for the info and your good wishes. I just wish I could get some straight information. There are so many conflicting reports about m/c and incompt cervix with SU, I don't know what to do. I don't know how closely I should be monitored or if my doc is doing enough. What care shoud I be getting?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 , I am so sorry to hear about your loss. This is a difficult time for sure. As for your questions, maybe my story can help a little with that. I too was diagnosed first as having a BU in my first pregnancy in 7/04. We waited almost a year before trying again and saw several doctors. All said BU. Our second pregnancy was moving along nicely until suddenly at 12 weeks and 2 days I began to bleed. We had an ultrasound done in the ER and the baby was still alive and kicking. 10 minutes later, I had a miscarriage. Like you, no one wants to tell you much. As much as I could figure, it was on the outer right horn, which should have been a good spot. I also am homozygous MTHFR, which is a blood clotting disorder, so I formed very large clots in the uterus during pregnancy. I was told at the time that it was due to the BU until my current RE did tests to find out otherwise. More doctors... more BU... nothing we can do. Finally, I sought out a reputable RE. He did my first non-pregnant ultrasound and said... SU. Just to be sure, he sent me for an HSG. Due to the size of my septum, it was inconclusive. At that point, he skipped the MRI and went for laparascopy/hysteroscopy. He had just had a patient who was diagnosed BU from the MRI and he found that she was SU, so in my case he didn't want to waste that time. Anyway, he was right, it was SU and during the surgery he removed as much as he could from the septum. I'll be in for a second surgery this month to trim more off of it. He told me that it is the only absolutely conclusive way. Maybe many have had success with the MRI, but he didn't have as much faith in it as he used to. Discuss it with your doctor and see what they say. Just be ready to seek as many opinions as needed. If we hadn't, we'd have followed the advice to just get pregant again and go on bedrest at 8 weeks with a cerclage. Hope this helps. --- shelld888 shelld888@...> wrote: > Hi > I am 36, and got pregnant for the first time in > August.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hi Sherry I agree- there are definintely many conflicting reports about it all. Maybe you should be followed by high risk OB (I think you said you were still seeing your regular OB)? At least that way you would get more frequent ultrasounds to help ease your mind. My OB basically had the same thoughts as yours (US at 18 wk, possible preterm, etc) I would think a high risk would have more experience with this. However, after doing my own research, and reading all of these emails, I have to wonder if there are any concrete answers. I am sure it will be nerve wracking for you, but try to stay positive. You will hopefully be one of the lucky ones without any issues at all. They do exist! Take care, --- Sherrry Crummy north_starlet@...> wrote: > Hi , > > Thanks for the info and your good wishes.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thanks , I made a call into my OB this morning, he was not in the office, but hopefully he will call me back tomorrow. I have a few questions for him regarding my treatment, including whether I should be followed by a high risk OB. I also want to ask him about the placenta location, and if they can tell anything from my 12 week u/s.
