Intro...Happy to be a bumpy again!

StefH1973

Hi fellow bumpies. I am StefH1973, but you can call me Stef. I am considered high-risk because of my age (41), my polycyctic kidney disease, having one fallopian tube that is scarred closed, and a history of HBP and DVT. I also just found out that I may have a bicornuate or septate (heart shaped) uterus...I will get another sonogram at the hospital on Friday to confirm this. To be honest, I never thought I would be back in the bump community after 4 years of infertility treatment and 2 early miscarriages. I have been stuck in the "unexplained infertility" category and had given up hope, but am so happy to report that I am 7 weeks PG, and this time there is implantation and a tiny heartbeat! I have never made it past 6 weeks before, and I have never achieved implantation...so fingers crossed. If all goes well, I am estimated to deliver around October 7th. I wish you all the best with your PG!

Ok, so it's confirmed...I have a septate uterus...not heart shaped, but completely divide in two by a wall of tissue (septum). Apparently, if baby attaches itself to the septum instead of the uterine wall, she won't get the nutrients she needs to survive. So far, she is only attached to the uterine wall, but I have to be monitored every two weeks to make sure baby's heartbeat is still there. So far, all ok...heartbeat at 150bpm...doc says every week that baby is ok, the risk for miscarriage goes down significantly. I am at 7w,4d and praying that we make it to 12 weeks. Then baby has a good chance for survival. I wish I could speed up time...this is the longest wait ever!
