New Diagnosis

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone--this is my 1st post. I need some help understanding

what is going on, and what I am about to endure. When I was a

teenager, I had an elective abortion and at the time was told that I

had a " double uterus " . Now that I am older and ready to try to

start a family, I mentioned this to my obgyn. My mother was told

the same thing (actually that she was bicornate, but this was in the

70's)and had several miscarriages. My ob did a full 3-d ultrasound

on me and found what he thought was " a pretty large septation " . He

said that he was 99% sure that it was a septate rather than a

bicornate, and due to its size, said he recommended surgery before I

try to get pregnant.

Before this procedure, which he said would be done with a

hysterescope and possibly a laproscope, he would like me to have a

hysterosalpingogram--an x-ray with dye injected into the uterus--I

guess to be sure its septate and to check for potential tubal issues.

Does anyone know what I should expect from this xray? What about

the septum removal? What is the healing time for thse procedures?

How long will I have to wait before trying to get pg?

Please help if you have any knowledge or experience

Thanks!
