Post-operation follow up appt.

Saw Dr. M again today for a post operation follow up appointment. We discussed his findings. He showed me pictures from my surgery. I saw my septate uterus and both openings to my fallopian tubes (which he said were very good and not blocked whatso ever, yippee!) He explained how the septate most likely caused my miscarriages and that I was probably born with this condition. He said usually, in a septate uterus, the baby implants onto the septate (which it likely did in my case since the septate was a big round mound instead of a thin septate which is more normal in septate uterus) and because the septate is not filled with blood, it causes the baby to be unable to develop. He also noted how in my case, the baby did not seem to develop beyond six weeks, which he also said is very common for individuals with a septate uterus. He said that he shaved down the septate, and while my uterus isn't in the perfect shape it should be, the septate has been shaved down very considerably. He said he felt very positive at my chances for a normal healthy pregnancy the next time we get pregnant. (hallelujah!!!)

Now, he did say that I have to remain on the BCPs for three months. Because he also found some hyperplasia in my uterus, he said the BCPs would be the most effective method to treat it. He also said he preferred for me to treat with BCPs rather than progesterone (which is the other option for treating hyperplasia) because the BCPs will also help prevent scarring from the surgery. He said the type of hyperplasia I have is simple and in 99% of the cases he's treated hyperplasia like mine, it went away in 3 months. (So I'm praying that it goes away...which I'm absolutely sure it will, God is on my side for this, I can feel it!)

So, the plan is, I go back in February, and we do a biopsy to make sure the hyperplasia hasn't returned. I stay on the BCPs till then. I've accepted th wait and am praying for a March BFP so that I can have a Christmas 2009 baby!!!!
