Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi everyone! I had a rough weekend. I was 6ks pg and started bleeding on Fri. My dr put me on bedrest for the weekend. I had an ultrasound yesterday and I had a m/c. This is my 2nd one. The only good thing is that I went to the perinatal center for the ultrasound and the drs took great care and interest in me. I have been referred to a top RE and hopefully we will get this figured out. BUT - I fouond out that I have been diganosed as BU all these years and the drs yesterday say I am UD (uterus didelphis) because I have 2 cervices. I've been doing some research and it says that those with UD don't necessarily have problems with pg but who knows. I did find out that some people with UD only have one kidney...that would be just my luck. So I hope I can get in to see the RE soon and get started trying to figure this mess out. I'm just happy to know I'm in the right direction to finding out some real answers. I don't want to m/c again. It really sucks. If you guys can offer any advice or some questions I should be sure to ask the RE please let me know. And for those of you who were rooting for me and this pg, I thank you. I'll get 'em next time. Here's Hoping, Brandee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 not all UDs have kidney abnormalities. some docs think all this stuff is cut and dried and its not. also, having 2 cervices doesnt necc mean your UD. you could be SU or Arcuate (depending on the extent of dip at the fundus, or top of the uterus). This top RE you are going to will help you figure it out. not sure if i mentioned this to you in particular in prev email but my aunt who is UD had 4 healthy girls- 2 from each uterus- and only 1 miscarriage in the whole reproductive process. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Brandee, First, so sorry for your loss. Second, Heidi is right - 2 cervixes (cervices? cervii??) does NOT immediately equal UD. My obgyn has made the same assumption, despite the fact that every other test that I've had (not done for purposes of dx'ing my MA), and prior abdominal surgery, would indicate otherwise. I am scheduled to see an RE next month who lists corrections of MAs in her areas of specialty because I don't want to continue seeing someone who (as much as I like her) " dabbles " in the area. At my last check of the publically available medical literature (last week), there were at least 17 reported cases of women with 2 cervices, who were septate rather than UD. Also, there has been at least 1 reported case of bicollis + totally normal uterus.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Thanks so much for your replies. I will be seeing the RE the first week in August and I will keep everyone posteedd. Does anyone know where I can find info on autoimmune problems being the cause for m/c? Thanks, Brandee Ann Chavie ann_chavie@...> wrote: Brandee, First, so sorry for your loss.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Have you had some testing done? I have two auto immune issues that require daily shots of blood thinners to keep from getting blood clots. I've searched my bookmarks but I no longer have any on the various causes. I am a part of a group on fertilityfriend dot com in the high risk pregnancy section there's a group called injection buddies. The women there are a great resource for asking, feel free ok? I'm sure someone there has the links. For me it's been a few years and I'm sure that after one of my miscarriages I threw out the bookmarks in frusteration. Your RE will run the tests but maybe now would be a good time to ask your obgyn to start some as the antibodies (should there be any) will be stronger in your blood at this time. I had a wonderful GP that listened to me and took the initiative and ordered the tests for me before my RE appointment so that we already had some answers going in.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks for the advice. I haven't had any blood test done yet but I meet with a high risk ob/gyn on Fri to discuss my options and what's next before I meet with the RE. I'll definitely look into website you gave me for more info. If anyone else had any other information for me I greatly appreciate it. It's nice to have a place like this to go and everyone is rooting for each other and helping everyone along. I'm really glad to be here. Thanks again.
