Re: Bicornateuterys/surgery (losses ment)

[Guest guest]

Hi Rose,

I'm so sorry for your losses. Let me give you a quick summary of my

history and maybe it will help you. I went into preterm labor at 21.5

weeks and lost my son. He was not stillborn - but was too early to

survive. No one could figure out why. Several doctors later, I had

an MRI and HSG test which led to me being diagnosed with an extreme

case of Bicornuate Uterus. Unfortunatly I don't know which side my

baby had been in. At first my RE thought that reconstructive surgery

might be a good idea - but then saw how severe the seperation was.

After several consultations it was decided that I shoud do an IVF

cycle. This way they can place the embryo on the larger side and

hopefully I will carry longer. I begin the IVF cycle in late December.

We also spoke with a perinatologist and she said that as far as the

studies she has seen there is not much benifit to having the

reconstructive surgery for extreme cases like mine - it can make the

problems worse, cause scarring in the uterus and not really help

prevent preterm labor. It seems you might have a different case so I

would get an HSG if you haven't had one and talk to an RE and

perinatologist.

Let us know what they say,

Becky
