SU -Resection to be on Fri (7/15)

July 9, 2005

I have had 3 miscarriages and 1 delivery at 22 weeks (a little boy

that died shortly after birth). I don't have any children. I have

been diagnosed with Septate Uterus.....my previous doc said it was

nothing to be concerned about. However, I have had numerous 2nd

opinions, and these physicians tell me differently. I am nervous

about this surgery.......

Any advice or success stories?

I am so sorry for your losses, but I am happy for you that you are

having the resection because there are many women in this group who

have had it and then gone on to have children including myself.

Best wishes to you!

Keep us posted.

My prayers are with you. I have only had 1 m/c, found out a year ago

on Friday 7/15. That has been hard enough to deal with. I'm sorry

that you have had to go through so much. I was misdiagnosed as BU for

most of the year, finally correctly diagnosed when I changed to a RE.

I had my resection surgery 2 days ago (7/11). I did not have to have

the laproscopic part done b/c I had an MRI which showed no significant

dip on the outside of my uterus. So the RE told me right before the

surgery that she felt confident not doing the lap. that was fine with

me! I am still sore, like very bad AF cramping. They put in a balloon

to stop adhesions, she said b/c there was bleeding. She did tell my DH

afterwards that I might have to have a second surgery. I will have the

balloon removed on Monday, and will have an HSG redone in about 3

months.

It was definitely not as bad as I was thinking. I slept most of the

rest of the day on Monday. Tuesday I was way more awake. I probably

could have stayed home today, but I didn't want to take another

vacation day. It was so worth having the surgery, if it gives us the

chance to have a baby. My septum was so large and broad, without the

surgery we didn't have much hope. Even if I have to have a second

surgery, it will be worth it!

I will be praying for you on Friday, that everything goes perfectly and

smoothly. It will be worth it!

Hugs,
