Last year i started going to a fertility specialist and found out after lots of test that i had a uterus septum and some tubal blockage. I went in for the surgery about a month and a half ago and got it taken care of we think. I am on some hormone pill right now until about another week. Then i have to call my docter and get on a birth control and setup another appoinment just to make sure everything looks good. Which i am not sure why? Has anyone else had to do this? Also has anyone else had a pregnency after getting a septum and blockage removed?

I’m sorry I won’t be much help answering your question, I don’t have experience with your situation. I was just curious about the birth control part, why are you going on birth control? Is your doctor talking about using hormonal birth control or just “using” a method of birth control until you can get checked out?

Hopefully some one with more experience can help you.

I fear I will not be much help. However, I can say I am going through the same thing. Bu tI am just beginning my research as well and I have my fist doctor's appt on may 20. So far though. I got pregnant very easily Sept 2006, one month of trying. I went through with mild spotting at 7 montha and no other unusual problems. During my labor last June 07, I was 39 1/2 wks. my water had broke, and right after I have had 5 hrs. of pitocin, I got an epidural and they realized my son was breech. During my c-section, they said " oh, there's a septum, that's why he's breech". All they said at that time is at a later date we'll do some tests and see if I need surgery, but I had to wait till i was done nursing. I asked what size it was and all they said was, "it was significant in the fact that it affected your pregnancy" and "that it's maybe about a 1/3 of the size of my uterus (at the time of delivery)". So, I don't know much else yet other than my sister had some belly pains and got some tests done and an u/s determined she has 2 seperate endometrial horns and a double fundus, basically saying they believe she has a bicornuate uterus. There is a difference between that and a septate (just a septum, with now problems with the fundus.) I'm unsure what I have. My doctor has already ordered an HSG test to see what we're dealing with, but I am going in to see her first then doing this test. When I know more I can tell you.

I also read that this is a rare conditioin and there aren't alot of doctors with full knowledge of it.
Let me know if hear anything else too, it doesnt seem like there's many of us out there. But, I will try to post updates as I learn more. Good Luck.
