: embryo implantation (pg ment)

[Guest guest]

,

BU/SU differentiation is best done by lap/hyst or MRI. My home team did make

a successful diagnosis with regular US, but my surgeon verified with a

lap/hyst.

I would not bank on the diagnostic properties of a sonohysterogram.

I had a complete SU with a larger right horn, and know that my first son

implanted in the smaller horn on the left because of the ovary that had the

follicle and how I carried him.

Then I had a resection and two more pregnancies, both also on the left, in

the smaller horn. My second son came from the right ovary but wound up in

the left horn--go figure.

I wouldn't doubt that embryos have some limited capacity to " sniff " out a

good place to implant, but can not do so in a terribly useful way (or else

we SU ladies would never have m/cs, would we?).

If you do have a true BU and have no rudimentary horn, don't worry about the

side of implantation--your uterus will expand just fine.
