New Here...Introducing myself :-)

in TTC after 35

Hi Ladies...I'm not quite to TTC just yet, but I need a new board.  Here is a little info about me!!

I'm 36.  We were expecting our first baby last year.  We lost our little girl at 19 weeks.  I didn't know I had any issues until I got pregnant.  Long story short, we found out our baby had Down Syndrome, I have MTHFR (on Folgard RX twice a day, and baby aspirin, along with prenatals), a complete septate uterus, and fibroids.  I will go in on Wednesday for a sonohysterogram to see where the fibroid is and if I need surgery. 

I kinda think I just want to go ahead with the surgery to remove the fibroids and septum.  I'm afraid I will lose another baby and then later decide to have surgery...don't want to prolong this any longer than I have to be.

Is there anyone here who have anything similar?

I wish all you ladies the best!!!

    Welcome to the board. I'm sorry about your loss and that you have a surgery ahead of you. You've been through so much already...it seems so unfair.I know we all have our infertility stories but I don't know anyone who has been through what you have. I can tell you all kinds of stories about my useless ovaries if you want :-)

    Welcome to our board!

    I am so sorry for your loss. ((hugs)).

    I think you should go with your gut and have that surgery.  

    I haven't had fibroids, but I had a partial septum in my uterus. I had it removed, on  my RE's advice, because it could have potentially caused a problem down the road.

    First of all, I am so very sorry for your loss last year.

    Welcome to the board, there are a lot of great women here.  Unfotunately, I have not specific advice to give but I did have fibroids that seem to grow in leaps and bounds.  I decided to have them removed because of their location.  I hope you get answers on Wednesday - at least then you will be informed and can make the right decision for you.

    Hi and welcome to the board.  So sorry for your loss.  Good luck with your potential surgery. 
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...
