Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Hi Bec, and welcome. I am *so* sorry about the trouble you have been through, losing your babies like that. Who knows why, but those of us with uterine abnormalities are twice as prone to ectopic pregnancies. I am so sorry you had to find that out the hard and dangerous way. I have never heard of an insurance company getting that picky about intrauterine vs. ectopic pregnancies. That is horrid of them. Money, money, money. :-( I have also had two septoplasties and am hoping that what remains of my septum does not interfere. Here's hoping your second IVF pays off big-time. When is it?

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Hi Bec, Welcome to our group. Sorry to hear your losses. I just had two septoplasties to remove my complete septum last summer and now I'm trying to conceive. May I ask how you lost the tubes during lap? Was it an accident or have they been removed to prevent ecoptic pregnancy? Good luck for your next try. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 > Bec -- you've had a lot to deal with these last few years. Here's to a great 2002 reproductively! Best wishes and warm blessings with ttc, and welcome to the group. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Welcome Bec! I am so sorry to hear about all you have been through. I am also new to this group. I have a BU (they think) that they only found out about when I delivered my son at 29 weeks. Reading the posts here has really helped. Good luck ttc. > Glad to have this support group of ladies. I am glad to see there are so many success stories here. I have had 2 septoplasties to remove my complete septum of the ute. I had my first surgery in April 2000, only after having mc'd at 8 weeks due to fetal demise from implantation on the septum. Then a second surgery to remove the rest of the septum that remained on the fundus between tube openings. I have since lost both tubes also to two different ectopic pg's. > > First discovered the Septum when I was just out of the Lap I had for my first ectopic in July 99. Had HSG(can you say OUCH!) and the OB hit my septum with the catheter when he tried to insert the cath to put the dye in. Staff OB had to help him finish the HSG due to also having a blocked tube that caused the dye to backflow out. Was sent directly to RE after that since the OB had no experience with Ute anomolies. OB did not know if it was full septate ute or bicornuate. I left there in tears. RE did sono hsg and it was found to be septate fully. Had to ttc again since Ins would not cover the surgery due to not actually having a mc inuteral yet. Well, thank you very much, I did mc only two months later inuteral on the septum. Glad I had the surgery to work on the septum because it gave me a piece of mind knowing I was making a better place for my babies to live for 9 months hopefully. I did IUI/clomid cycle and got pg but only to find it in the tube again Sept 00. Had lap to remove and lost both tubes at that time. Went to IVF after second septopalsty in spring 01. IVF did not work on 1st try and will be trying again when I can afford to buy the drugs and pay the doc cash for my next cycle due to no ins coverages. > > Sorry so long.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 I found a study online regarding uterine anomilies and possible outcomes for each anomaly, including ectopic pregnancies. I found it very helpful. Here is the link, sorry so long! http://www.ferti.net/fertimagazine/journalclub/1998_05_01.asp > > > .

I was confused at first by the stats as they seemed contrary to what I'd read in the past, but the conclusion & commentary really cleared things up! Thanks!
