Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Heidi Thanks for your detailed response. Sounds like a very similar management plan. I note that you've been advised against a cerclage unless there is a clinical indication. I'm thinking of having a cerlage as a preventative measure. Because I have one side of my uterus that hasn't developed as much as the other side (the rud horn), my doctor thinks i might have an underdeveloped half of my cervix. He said that sometimes happens and causes IC. I don't know what cervicial microbio is and why it's been recommended. I'll have to ask when I'm preg. May I ask you some questions: 1. How long did it take you TTC? 2. How many IVF attempts? 3. Are you doing any exercise? 4. When are you finishing up work (if you work)? 5. Where do you live?
