Re: Brand new to this ...

[Guest guest]

hi holly,

I am sorry to hear about ur loss...

My story is very very similar to yours...

I went for my first U/S on nov 23rd.They cudn't find the heartbeat....

and I was told the embryo hadnt grown beyond a certain point.I was

only 11 weeks though.

I had my D&c on nov 25 th.....and Thye also commented in the U/S

report that I might have probable arcuate uterus...

I asked the ob/gyn who performed the d&c about this..and she said

There can be 2 probable reaosns..

1)Chromosomes..

2) " Probable arcuate uterus " ..

Now reason # 1 will be confirmed..only after 4 weeks..which is around

25 the december....

Reason # 2

They will do HSG / 3D US once I get my first period after d&c...

For both I have to wait for 4 weeks..and ths wait is really killing...

I am not able to concetrate on anything.

I also asked her when they did d&c did she feel any septum...she siad

NO ..but i am not sure how much can that be trusted...

The pain you are having could be the result of uterus tryig to

contratc and get back to its normal size...I ahd it too...

So dont worry...and try to patient for 4 weeks...(thats what my

husbund keeps telling me)...

Did they tell you in your case if they will be doing HSG or anything

else to confirm about ur heart shaped uterus... ????
