I had my hysteroscopy on Wednesday and received both good news and bad news from the doctor. We were hoping this would just be a routine procedure so they could clear us for future fertility treatments, but the doctor found a uterine septum. Basically it’s a malformation that both prevents you from getting pregnant and malnourishes any pregnancy that happens to implant. The fetus is not connected to the mom’s blood supply via the uterus and is actually connected to the septum eventually ending the pregnancy. The doctor was not able to tell us for certain, but it’s safe to say this is what caused us to lose our angel baby in September.
They doctor was able to remove the entire septum (all 12mm of it!) and thus, we will not be able to “try” for the next few months while my uterus heals. I know this is a step in the right direction and will definitely assist us in getting pregnant in the future, but right now I’m just really frustrated. I’m frustrated that this was not caught sooner in the up-teen procedures and surgeries I’ve had in the past year. I’m frustrated that had we caught this soon we might have had a different ending with our first pregnancy. And I’m frustrated that we are that much further away from our insemination we had scheduled. UGH! Can’t we just catch a break?!?
And the even better news is that the estrogen I have to take in the meantime to heal my uterus has wonderful side effects.
Pity party over. Thanks for listening.
