I guess the D&C was for some of the floppy lining they saw, but after speaking to the Dr. again, she said it wasn't a big issue. So we're just going to more foward and see how it goes.<br /><br />I am supposed to start my Lupron shots on Sunday (a day after you!) so it looks like we'll be close with retreival and transfer. Hoping the outcome is positive and brings you what you wish for the most on your next birthday. :). I'll be 35 next month, so I know the frustration of the "advanced maternal age" stamp.Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095698168514644000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646936376323570951.post-44604733762925396912009-07-28T11:52:29.135-07:002009-07-28T11:52:29.135-07:00Hi,

It's so hard. <br /><br />My septum was quite small and the doctor wasn't sure if it even qualified completely. But because it appeared to have poor blood flow, he felt it was worth getting rid of. And in my case, I really wasn't given the option of whether to get rid of it or not. I was under general anesthesia and the surgery was more exploratory than anything else. But I feel that if I'd had to make a decision about whether to keep it or not, I would have gone with the surgery. <br /><br />Oddly enough, I have a friend who recently had a small septum removed. In her case, she has had no problem getting pregnant, but has never carried a pregnancy beyond 8 weeks. All three of her pregnancies have resulted in miscarriages. <br /><br />I guess I'm confused about why the doctor would do a D & C on your septum. If you do decide to have it removed, I would think they would do it with hysteroscopic surgery so that they can see what they are doing. I would also ask the doctor how many of these surgeries he or she has done. <br /><br />Don't you hate having to make these kinds of decisions?Mrs. Chophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04422863404561187016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646936376323570951.post-57495963711691411502009-07-25T18:51:31.645-07:002009-07-25T18:51:31.645-07:00Hi,

I can understand you are in a raw place and just trying to get through the journey to make your family. <br /><br />You can read more about me on my blog, but my DH and I have been trying for almost 3 years now for a family too. 5 IUIs and now onto a IVF w/ICSI cycle. I went in for a hystercopy this past week and was told I might have a uterine septum (hence, my search). The strange thing is that I was told it wasn't severe and my choice if I wanted a D&C on it. I'm confused, overwhelmend, angry and weepy. <br /><br />Would love to get some more from you on your case as well. It would help to wrap my head around everything and evaluate my choices.<br /><br />Thanks.Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095698168514644000noreply@blogger.com
