Re: question for Heidi & others on unresected SU (mc child ment)

November 13, 2005

hi laurie

i'm gabi and i had a partial SU that took 70% of my uterus'

capacity - i had a preemie boy (33 weeks) in 2001 and his pg (my

1st) was completely normal with just the usual monitoring right up

till the day he was born (i had placental abruption, started

bleeding and i had a c/s). at the time drs thought i was BU and

neither them nor i worried about it (all of us were ignorant ).

after having my son i got pg x 2 and mc x 2 (6/04 and 1/05) so i had

a hsg and a lap/hyst and since my septum was avascular the RE opted

for the resection (with my consent).

after my 2nd mc (a chromosomally normal boy, 10.5 weeks old) i found

out about my SU but also about a blood clotting disorder (homozygous

MTHFR C677T) and it happens that both my problems (SU and MTHFR) are

related to placental abruption and recurrent loss among other

issues - so i guess i'll never know which defect caused which

problem/loss - just in case i opted for the resection to at least

take some of the issues out of the way -

i understand the decision of having surgery is a very hard one and i

wish you luck with yours - i personally know that i would have been

a wreck during the whole pg if the septum was still in place so

knowing that my uterus is cuasi-normal gives me a little more hope -

i know i'm gonna be a wreck anyway and i do have my blood disorder

and so many other things in my mind anyway but at least the septum

is out of the equation.

on the other hand i'm still amazed (and so grateful) at the fact

that my pg with my son was so uneventful for 33 weeks - this is

proof that not all SU mean problems -

i hope you can make a decision you're comfortable with and i wish

you the best in your road ahead - you do deserve to have a baby in

your arms soon after all you've been through

best of luck and a big hug

gabi
