Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hi all, I saw the two REs yesterday to get an interpretation of the MRI images (after having a 3D u/s as well). Both confirmed a slight dip in the top of the fundus and a vascular lining with possible slight septum. Given that I carried twins to 20 weeks and one of them to 27 weeks with an excessive amount of amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios), it seems more likely that I have a BU. The RE that I like better (she looked at all of the images herself) has recommended that we go ahead and ttc again, taking precautions for a BU such as testing progesterone levels in the first trimester, getting a cerclage and keeping my weight gain to the low end of the acceptable range. I'm a little scared to have a late loss again, but we're going forward with this (ttc as of today). The other RE who doesn't have a great demeanor kind of brushed off my MRI images, telling me that he didn't learn anything new. He only looked at 4 images total from both the 3D u/s and MRI, while the other doc looked at about 50+ herself. This RE, the one I don't like as much, stated that he could do surgery to take off the end of the septum, but that he wasn't sure how much it would benefit me since it is vascular and accompanied by a BU dip. Fairly, he stated that my case is in the middle ground from the start - meaning surgery could or couldn't help- not clear. So, now I'm going to look back through the posts for some positive BU stories of having succesful pregnancies. Thanks to you all for your advice.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hi Laurie, My name is aminah i too have a BU Am not sure weither you have read any of my post's but just to give you some hope am 34weeks 4days and doin fine. Ive had no previous M/C and i got pregnant with no meds. I got married in the october and was pregnant by the march time I had no bleeding, just cramping (which is normal as the uterus stretches) i did have Baaaad!!!!! morning sickness but i dont think that has much to do with the BU. 1 thing is he's in a semi breeched/trensverse position and his bum was affacing (sp?) last week but i wasnt having contractions but i dialated 1 cm. I am looking at a C-section but for a BU that isnt always the rule as i no 1 ladie who had 3 kids (all nateral no meds) 1st Nateral, 2nd C/Sect, 3rd Nateral, also my doc was saying that she has been at many births with women who had BU and they didnt even no until they had there 1st baba.. So dont feel to down. The doc has told me he's a lil bit on the small side, but happy and healthy. Has all the right things, in all the rights places, so am greatfull for that. Really all there is wiv a BU, is usual 75% - 25% sizing (well thats in my case) and he's in the 75% with a septum making it into 2 chambers. I hope you feel a lil better now. I know its tuff and im always watching his every move, i think me and heidi always poking them lol to make sure they give us a lil wiggel, very reasuring lol. But the best thing is, is now u will get the monitoring for your next pregnancy which can make all the difference. Take care, and i hope we have good news from you soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Aminah, 27yr, BU, 34w 4d, 1st Baba lbh60611 lbh60611@...> wrote: Hi all, I saw the two REs yesterday to get an interpretation of the MRI images (after having a 3D u/s as well).

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Aminah, Thanks for reminding me that you are BU! I have been reading your posts over the last month or so, but I always forget who is BU or SU or UD until I read the signatures. So it is great to be reminded that you are BU and that you are 34 weeks and 4 days! I am feeling more relaxed about it... Did you get a cerclage? I guess with no previous m/c they might not have recommended it. I'll be excited to hear how things go for you during the next month! take care, Laurie 32, BU or BU/SU combo lost twins at 20 wks and 27 wks (birth) to TTTS > > Hi Laurie, > My name is aminah i too have a BU > Am not sure weither you have read any of my post's but just to give you some hope am 34weeks 4days and doin fine.
