Re: MARY: Need advice: was ud, now su w/2 cervixes - resection surgeons in Massachusetts?

[Guest guest]

Hello Heidi,

Thank you for the information. I called and have an appt with Laufer in

November. I am 35

and anxious to get moving, (again) as its been 3.5 years of IF treatment,

surgery for endo,

and I feel I am running out of time. I will definitely listen to what he has to

say. I have 5

failed transfers and was surprised to hear my RE tell me implantation rates are

lower for

SUs. I hadn;t heard that before but it would make sense if there isn't

sufficient blood flow.

I plan to meet with my own RE in October as well. Time will tell. I orginally

went to RE and

was told due to my young age, I should do IVF to avoid multiples, what a joke

that has

turned out to be.

I am delighted to hear you have had success and wish you the best in these final

weeks!

,

Im sorry for not remembering your history-

It does sound like you have been treated by all

possible avenues besides the septum resection and i am

frankly shocked that they tried 5 transfers without

doing the resection. i got the sense Laufer wanted to

see if I could conceive without the resection before

doing it. I would be prepared for the possibilty that

the resection will require lap/hyst procedure due to

the 2 cervices. If you can have Laufer perform the

surgery- I would go that route, hes is MA expert and

has done alot of this stuff.

Implanataion rates are lower in SU due to poor

vascularization and other reasons.

Many prayers for success and please write after you

talk to your docs and let me know how its going

Best

Heidi
