Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 <<One of the doctors would place the patient on GnRH analog for 4 to 6 weeks before the septoplasty so that it would thin the endometrium to facilitate visualization. Have you ever taken GnRH analog? I have never taken it. I will bring the article to my doctor tomorrow and see what he thinks.>> From what I have studied, use of GnRH anlogs is no longer considered necessary and does not seem to favorably affect the outcome of surgery. Use of these agents does demand, though, that an estrogen supplement be given after surgery, because use of GnRH analogs without estrogen replacement is well known to cause adhesion formation. The two landmarks for stopping at the anatomical fundus are determining that there is a straight lin between the tubal ostia (not easy), and stopping, as you said, when blood vessels are reached. The only problem with the latter is that blood vessels and muscle tissue often exist throughout septa, to a slight degree. Yes, we will be doing IUI again. It's actually our only choice, as my husband has no sperm at all. We use a donor. Man, I hope this happens soon and is over with. I have been hearing stories and it seems it could be 6 weeks before all tissue is expelled. I was hoping to get back in the TTC saddle right away!
