Man, you guys rock. I have received such wonderful feedback and truly warm comments. I will start being a source of support for you all I promise. I just have a full brain and 3 papers to write for next week.
I was in a complete panic yesterday...seriously the amount of tension in my body was unreal. I even went to the gym to work off some steam but came home right after and rifled through my pantry....thankfully the worst thing in there were granola bars...but I ate 4.
I feel like a complete see-saw. Each moment I get a good email or response on the MA site (thanks!), I feel good. Each time I read another article on the stats or evidence of recurrent miscarriages, I feel doomed. Reading "Coming To Terms" again was rough. Is it true that embryos actually prefer the septum to the rest of the uterus and implant there....even though it is a horrible place for a young baby to go all alone?
Is my septum actually luring my embryos with candy to come check out its new puppy, only to leave it dead in the bushes a few days later????
I have an appointment with my RE again on Monday. I got my CBEFM today in the mail....

Teach those embies not to talk to strange septa bearing candy!
(Not to make light...well, OK. To make light.)
Good luck with those papers and getting all your questions.concerns answered by your RE
Dear Meg, yup, your analogy was both funny and dead-on: septums are evil. They promise the world and deliver nothing but doom. I called mine the Docking Station of Death. And I'm so, so glad it's gone.
(In my comment yesterday, I was going to mention the book Coming to Term, but forgot. I'm glad you have it.)
I'm sorry about all the tension, and hope your next appointment helps to alleviate it somewhat.
Meg- My septum was around 1.5 to 2cm. So a lot bigger than yours (well bigger as far as septums go). I wish I could give you a solid answer about what to do. For me my RE and OB were very confident that surgery was the right thing for me. If they had found my septum earlier after two losses they may have been different I don't know. The thing that really made me feel this was the cause of my m/c was that all my losses were around the same time of gestation and all my tests came back normal and I had two chromosomally normal pregnancies. The other two were not tested. I know it is the hardest thing in the world to be told to try again knowing there might be a problem.
I hope you're able to get some clarity out of your next RE appointment.
Can I ask how your group class went yesterday? Feel free to ignore me if you don't want to write about it.
