MRI results are in...

So in case you don't remember - or didn't know - I had a hysteropingogram a few weeks ago where they shot dye in my uterus to see if there was issues.... there was. My uterus was shaped like a V (sort of like below)

If that part that juts down is muscle - then it's bicornuate uterus - if it's tissue - then it's a septate uterus. I was told at the appointment that tissue can be easily removed in a simple laproscopic surgery and if it's muscle nothing could be done. With muscle they say that with every pregnancy you get further along (so bascially more losses were a huge possibility).

So without further ado.............. HAPPY NEWS! It's a septate uterus and it's tissue! :) :) :) So I have an appointment on Tuesday with my doctor to discuss the surgery and set it all up - my doc said that it should be able to get scheduled in January! :) :) :)

Apparently the separation is almost so bad that it completely separates my uterus. Apparently the tissue is even attached to my cervix! But again... nothing to worry about the doctor says it will be all fixed with surgery.

I am SO blessed to have this specialist - apparently the MRI results read bicorunate uterus but my doctor said he thought it was incorrect and that they don't deal with such issues often and when he discussed it with the guy that did the results - he said they then agreed that it was tissue :) SO blessed that he took the initiative and cared enough to know that the results were incorrect. Some other doctor may have just said - ehhhhhh bicornuate sorry - ya know? SO BLESSED! Thank the Lord! I am so happy!

Also...I just read that with a septate uterus the chance of miscarriage is 90% WOAH that's huge - so apparently this surgery in most cases takes the miscarriage chances down to 15% which is the average chance anyways - so that is ALSO great :) I will still be worried the next time I am pregnant but this is great great news :)

Thank you for all of your prayers!

    Oh Jess,
    I am sooooo happy for you!!!!!!!!! What a blessing!!!! Now you will be able to have a healthy rainbow:) You were so smart to get these tests done and continue to seek out answers. It is amazing how you just knew there was a reason that you lost Riley and Peyton and that you knew you had to find what it was so that your next baby could be in your arms. You are such an awesome mama!!! I know those babies of yours are so proud of you. I will continue to pray for you that your surgery goes well and that you heal quickly. God bless you.
    Love,
    Mary

    Hi Jessica! Antoinette told me about you and your blog. I am so sorry for your losses. She told me that you were recently dx with MA - SU? i have a SU. i was originally dx with SU during pregnancy of my living daughter. then became pregnant and lost my son. after that, i decided to explore my MA more. i found a GREAT yahoo group http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MullerianAnomalies/ there are TONS of members. LOTS of women with a wealth of knowledge. i saw local specialist who did lap/hyst to determine what MA i had. dx as SU. "resected" it. however, it was not complete. i then travelled from OH to FL to see Dr Valle (who is awesome) who truly resected it. i am now pregnant, 12 weeks, with our rainbow. my email is jenpaterchak@woh.rr.com and i'm on FB as Jen Paterchak (Jen Sargent). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just want to chat. i highly recommend the MA group. i'm jelyp1973 there.

    best of luck!
    Jen

    I had a septated uterus as well. One suggestion I would make is to discuss with your doctor how he will remove the septation. Mine was apparently shaved out, rather than cut, which caused me to have placenta accreda with my pregnancy, which then resulted in a uterine rupture at the time of delivery, and then another surgery a year later to repair my uterus because it did not heal correctly and left a massive weak spot.

    In talking with my RE and the RE's at the Mayo Clinic, had the doctor who performed the surgery CUT the septum out, rather than shaved it out, I would not have had that problem. So be sure your doctor isn't going to shave it.

    I also went to Florida, my uterus 3D ultrasound picture is very similar to your picture. I have had 3 losses. all around 3 months. He found a septum inside my uterus. I think you may have a combo. SU/BU. like me. I would recommend that you go to Florida to see DR: Valle.

    Anonymous - thank you for the advice - I actually went to a specialist where I live and he successfully removed the septum. :)

    I was diagnosed with a bicornuate uterus a few months ago. I just had my MRI and I go in for an HSG next week to see if surgery is a possibility. I am so thankful that you posted this. It gives me hope hearing your story!
