Successful pregnancy after SU resection (pg, m/c mentioned)

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies,

It's been quite some time since I've posted here, but I used to post

quite frequently. I found out I had a mullerian anomaly during my

first pregnancy that ultimately ended at 17 weeks on February 12,

2004. I was dx'd at having a bicornuate uterus via u/s, then as

having a slightly arcuate uterus with a subseptum via MRI and told to

ttc again, but I sought a second and a third opinion and it was

finally decided that I should have surgery to remove the septum. It

was very solid and wide and took up much room in my uterus. It was

non-maleable, so wouldn't have moved out of the way in any future

pregnancies.

I had the septum removed on July 29, 2004 and wound up pregnant again

in October, only to have an early m/c at 5 weeks. After that m/c, my

period took FOREVER to come, and I eventually figured out why...I was

pregnant! My pregnancy was difficult, and I was put on bed rest at

18 weeks, and then my bedrest was moved from moderate to strict at 23

weeks. I was able to hold on and stall labor until I was exactly 36

weeks pregnant and had a beatufil baby girl who weighed 7lb. 1oz and

was 18.5 inches long. She had some difficulties eating, and had to

stay in the hospital for a week until she learned how to suck, but

other than that she's been in perfect health.

I wanted to share that there are success stories out there! I was

put on bedrst because it turned out I also have a weak cervix. This

is apparently something that is very common in those of us with

mullerian anomalies. My cervix funnelled (effaced) internally,

starting at 18 weeks and by my 32nd week I was totally effaced! I

wanted to also share so that everyone knows to be sure their doctors

watch them for incompetent cervix...regardless of your class of

anomaly.

I never thought I would be able to have a child, due to the septum,

PCOS, endometriosis,incompetent cervix, and a MTHFR mutation, but I

did. I wish all of you woh are trying luck, and a big hug to those

of you who have angels.

Jasmine - Congratulations! That is so wonderful!! I was thinking

about you the other week and was wondering how your pregnancy was

progressing. I am so happy for you! You really give us all hope!

I'm sure you remember, you were the one who saw my post on FF and

pointed me over here in July 04 (when I had my m/c and they told me I

was BU). I had that diagnoses for some time, and I finally switched

to a RE in June when I wasn't getting pregnant and I still didn't

trust the BU diagnosis. June 05 I had an HSG finally (had an MRI in

Nov. 04), and the RE said 'SU!' I had my first resection in July 05,

and had to have a second one 10/10 (so just over 2 weeks ago). I had

a very large, broad septum, that took up almost the entire uterus

cavity from the view on the HSG. She cut both times until it started

bleeding more, the first surgery removed about 1/3 of the septum, she

cut more the second surgery, so I'm praying that at least 2/3 of it

is gone. She said that she didn't cut quite as much as she wanted.

But she went to a medical conference last week and discussed my case,

and they all agreed that what is left is definitely vascular and I

should ttc again (vs 3rd surgery that we were very worried about

having). So I will have a follow-up HSG beginning of December just

to take a look, but we are actually going to start ttc again in

November.

You really do give me so much hope! Again, congratulations on

Laila!!!

Hey Jasmine--

Congratulations on the birth of Laila!! Welcome to the world Laila!!

Thank you for sharing both your news and your story. I am sorry to

hear the beginning was a little tough for your little girl, but it

sounds like she is doing well and you have much to be thankful for.

Especially after all you have been through. I remember you well--we

spoke several times a ways back. I am so glad that you are okay.

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my little girl, and hoping and

praying that all works out--my c-section is scheduled for 4 weeks

from Friday (the day after Thanksgiving)-following an ultrasound to

check for lung maturity. So far things have been going fine.

Take care--

Jen
