Kendall-- Thank you so much for answering my questions. You have been through sooooo mcuh, it's so nice to see you have become a bit of a 'Fetile Myrtle' after so many failed pregnancies!!!!
According to my RE, the septum is something I was born with. I have 3 kids from my first marriage and had no problems with getting pg and staying pg. I didn't have any mc's prior to my TL.
Here are my stats. Hope this helps!
Kendall 36 DH 36 DS 18 DD 16 DD 15 TL 7-17-91 TR 6-10-02 R 6.0 L 4.5 MC 9-02 HSG 2-03 both tubes clear MC 7-03 MC 8-03 MC 6-04 MC 8-04 MC 9-04 Uterine Septum Diagnosed 7-05 Uterine Septum Surgery 8-05 BFP 2-08-06 TR Baby #1 10-11-06 BFP 11-30-07
I have another question for you--- Do you have other children besides your TR baby??? Did you always have that uterine septum or is it something that developed after you had children before TR?? Did you have m/c's prior to TL/TR??
Congratulations on your (7) BFP's! I know you must be so excited! Please complete an online pregnancy report form when you have a moment and good luck!

Congratulations Kendall! Be sure to continue with Dr Berger's pregnancy protocol even though this is your second pregnancy. Keep us updated and we wish you the best.
After 3 years and 6 miscarriages, every blood test known to man, I was sent to see an RE because my OB found that I had a uterine septum. The RE did a saline ultrasound and he confirmed it and said it was severe enough to cause miscarriages. Basically, my uterus dipped down like a heart and the part the dipped down was muscle, therefore, when an egg tried to implant, it couldn't fully due to the lack of blood flow. He went in and removed the septum by cutting away with a cautery knife, layer after layer until he had blood flow. Three months later, I was PG with Lauryn and all went well.
If you continue to have repeat mc's and your blood work is fine, it could be something anatomical. I never would have known about my septum if my OB hadn't performed a hysteroscopy to look around.
