I am starring at my kitchen window just above the sink. It has three valentine hearts that my little friends (2 girls that I nanny and my niece) made for me. Each handmade heart is scribbled on, random puffy things glued to, etc. They are are very sweet and I love looking at them each time I am at the sink.
What I did not like looking at today was the heart shaped uterus on the screen at my HSG (which was painless and easy). My uterus is misshaped and I need to wait until my doctor reviews the images. The doc doing the procedure did not know my history so he quickly mentioned the abnormal shape and said it would be an issue if I had recurrent miscarriages....ummm hello! I am practicing my patience and waiting for him to call in the next hours and I am working very hard at staying away from Dr. Google because my thought process is going nowhere pretty.
My boobs are leaking but my doc is not too worried. He did a prolactin test and scheduled me for an MRI to check out my pituitary, which he scheduled since I have had pretty bad headaches as well...He did prescribe me some medicine to stop the lactation but I am going to hold off on taking it until all results come back. This has only been going on for a week and can very easily go away on its own. I will wait on this one and just keep an eye on the pair.
Okay - so he just called and we have a consultation with him Monday the 18th to go over everything.....he called it a "mild" septate. Mild was a good/reassuring word but he did say to hold off getting pregnant. I think this will result in a surgery.
I will have remnants of Pinot on my lips tomorrow morning for sure.

OMG I'm writing about this right now in my own blog! Sorry it's taking me awhile to update...it's a long post! I think this does call for a surgery but my doctor said it's nothing major (I secretly hope that this is my issue too...I'd rather have a simple surgery done than haul in a bunch of hormones thru injectables. Good luck! Let us know what the doc says!
I sure hope that pinot bottle is empty by tomorrow morning! You deserve it. Thinking of you!
Sounds like a no-good day (except for the painlessness of the HSG).
Enjoy your Pinot. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Ack on the discharge and the septum. It is easily fixed, though, and if it had any contribution to your miscarriages, that is a step in the right direction.
Your poor boobies.

Hey there.
Let me know if you have any questions about the septum / bicornuate stuff. I had my surgery in November after m/c's in May and September.
You have to watch out with the doctors with these mullerian anomalies. So many of them are clueless.
Chin up.
I am so very sorry! This has got to be frustrating... to go in for a procedure and hope for the best... and yet to go home knowing you need surgery.
The bright spot, of course, is that hopefully you can get it removed & get pregnant on your own without and doctors again... And not miscarry. I desperately hope this is your answer.
BTW, I don't know if you knew her, but Serenity had a bicornate uterus and a septate. She knows a lot. (Fair warning: she's currently due in March.) P.S. I'll virtually have that glass of wine with you!

You'd think a heart shaped uterus would be a good thing. Yuck on the septum. I have a friend that had a septum all the way down and I know she had to have surgery to remove it. However, she does now have a baby girl so I guess she is a success story (if you are in the mood for those). Otherwise, feel free to tell me to shove it. :)
Wishing you lots of luck and sending lots of good vibes your way. XOXO
I'm sorry that the news is not what you wanted to hear. I hope that your consultation provides some good information with very solid solutions.
And please, enjoy the pinot to its fullest!
While I'm glad the HSG was painless I'm sorry that the results weren't what you were hoping for. I hope this is something though that can be fixed with a simple surgery or something. Enjoy that wine. I wish I liked wine and I'd be drinking too.
I read this the other day and I don't know why I never got to the commenting part.
I'm so sorry you found something that wasn't expected. While the "at least you know what could be wrong" thing is supposed to be positive, I know it certainly doesn't feel that way. You'll get to know my whole story tomorrow over coffee, but just to say now, I know how you feel. After not knowing what my own problem was, I found my uterus was freaking sealed shut with scar tissue. Ugh. After 3 uterine surgeries, it's not open for business.
Again, I'm sorry. ~hugs~ and here's to the future of a beautifully shaped ute!
