PSA (Or...the status of my uterus)

I'm sure all of you, my friends and readers, are DYING to know the status of my uterus. (Because, why not?)

I went in for my Hysteroscopy this morning. Luckily, it wasn't nearly as dramatic as my last procedure and they actually started on time. (AND I was first...so win). I had to be given medicine to relax me again, because my anxiety shot way up when they started talking about intubating me. I remember being wheeled in the OR. My specialist and OB were on either side of me talking. Then, I woke up.

So, remember how I was talking about a possible septate? My specialist has been pretty adamant that he didn't believe I had one. He said that when my funny shaped uterus was discovered, he said it when he saw my recent ultrasound pictures, and he said it this morning.

I HAD A SEPTATE.

Because they discovered a septate, they had to put a little camera through my belly button to guide the removal of that. So I'm sore. But otherwise I feel pretty good (other than being a little groggy).

You can google septate uterus if you're really interested, but basically, it causes a uterus to be Y shaped (like mine) and can make the risk of miscarriage higher (YOU DON'T SAY) or preterm labor. After the procedure, he told Sean (and he told me the other day) that the reason I lost the baby was because of the Down's Syndrome. While that is most likely true, there's always going to be a part of me that is going to wonder.

So here's my PSA: Do your research and be your own advocate. Don't be afraid to confront your doctor about further testing. If that doctor gets offended, you need a new one. It's better to be safe than sorry. I know Doctor's are amazingly smart and I have a lot of respect for them. But sometimes it's best to go with your gut.

I'm not blaming my doctor or anything like that, but I do wish I had demanded this in August instead of having to wait until I've had 2 miscarriages. I know that this may have had nothing to do with them. But I don't know that for sure. I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm all fixed up and I'm ready to move forward. I'm thankful everything went well. And we're  both so determined to make our little rainbow Baby Ford a reality in 2014.
