or at least, my uterus is. This is one heck of a way to start posting on this thing! At least I'm talking to myself for now. I eventually plan to list the dates/deets of our year of TTC under that little tab up there, but that won't be happening today. So let's just hit play on this movie that is my life.
I was recently referred to a R.E. (reproductive endocrinologist/ infertility specialist). I had my initial appointment on March 22. It went well, the doc seems nice enough and proactive. The plan was to do b/w that day and see if I needed any medicine to jumpstart my cycle or if I could just wait because I had indeed ovulated (O'd).
CD 1 was 3.31, so they got me in on 4.2 to do baseline b/w. We scheduled a mid-cycle ultrasound and CD24 b/w appointments.The nurse told me that someone would be calling me in the next few days to set my date for a hysteroscopy (HSC).
Yeah, how about they called me the.next.day (my b-day!!) for an appointment today! I went with it since the husband was already off. ***I guess I started writing this and saved as a draft - finishing now***(I lose my dates now, but somewhere in there were a couple of u/s where the nurse was trying to show me my ovaries and fallopian tube and just couldn't find the left ones; at one appt one of the other doctors came in b/c she couldn't find it and wasn't familiar with left pelvic kidneys - shocker - and he could only say that yes that was my kidney on the left.) I was put to sleep for the procedure (which is always a little nerve-wracking!) and when I came out the doc said he thought I had a unicornuate uterus.
A do-what-now?
He said where as a normal uterus is shaped sort of like a martini glass, mine is more like a tube going off to the right. The question was what, if anything is over on that left side. Some ladies have what's called a rudimentary "horn" that is just chilling out over there connected to nothing. Some of these can be functioning and allow an embryo to implant which would be dangerous - similar to an ectopic in a regular ute-having person.
Fast-forward b/c I'm getting bored. I had an MRI that confirmed the right unicornuate uterus (UU) and nothing on the left. And that is where we stand now.
