I went in for my 3D ultrasound today. First, I had to have saline injected in my uterus, which was so much fun, you guys. Then the ultrasound started. During the ultrasound, the doc thought I might have a "partial septate" but wasn't 100% sure. So, she said she was going to look at the pictures with the specialist I was seeing and call me.
A few hours went by and I finally heard from her. So, they don't think I have a septate. But I do, apparently, have "quite a few" polyps in my uterus that are a pretty good size. That indicates they've been there for a while. I also have a scar tissue situation, which she thinks may have been from the procedure last month, but it's hard to tell. So, I need to have a procedure called a hysteroscopy done to remove all of that business. They also will verify whether or not I have a septate. If I do, it will be removed at that time. It's an outpatient procedure, but I do have to go under general anesthesia again, which I'm not thrilled about.
From my own research, I've found that having multiple polyps can make you a higher risk for miscarriage. So yeah. Now of course I'm left with the question of whether it was actually the chromosomal problem or the uterus. I'll never know. But I'm glad I know now and am fixing it.
I feel so broken. I feel frustrated. At times I want off the roller coaster. But...I'll keep riding the roller coaster. Going with the twists and turns. Because I've never wanted something so bad in my life. I know in the end when I'm holding our baby it's going to be so worth it.
(Just please let the end of the ride be near...)
Please don't blame yourself Sarah. How could you have possibly known you had issues within your uterus? At least it is a semi simple procedure and you can get it taken care of. Which makes you that much closer to holding your baby. Chin up and stay strong. You WILL get past this :)
