First off thank you so much for all your good wishes. You guys are so great...seriously.
So I've been back at home recovering all day and all went better than I expected.
Long story short the doc said that it was DEFINITELY a septum and apparently was bigger than he thought it would be. His exact words to my husband were, "I'm almost certain this was what was causing the miscarriages" and likened my ute to a duplex that now is a studio. Wow...who gets a confirmation like that I tell you? I mean we all wish for it but seriously how often does that happen? I feel deeply appreciative that he is so confident...but the un-trusting infertile in me just isn't ready to let her guard down that easy. But I am happy that I got my moneys worth and that at least one thing is improved. I'm so glad I did it. And you know what...even if there was nothing there I wouldn't be able to sleep at night not knowing...so I would have been glad I did it then as well.
The overall experience was as pleasant I guess as an operation could be. One thing to be said about being a cash patient...the customer service and quality you pay for is beyond anything an insurance company could offer. Makes me even more p.o'd about our medical system.
Anyways I was there so early that I was the only patient in the surgery clinic. It was extremely well decorated and wonderful customer service. I had all the staff to myself...and I was the only one in the place when I came out too. I'm wondering how much business they get but they must do well. Anyhow it was basically like having a mini hospital all to myself. I consider myself very lucky with my operations thus far, as both times I've had exceptional care. By noon I was home and resting. I took a nap most of the day as my lovely drug induced haze wore off...and the last thing I remember when falling asleep was a baby's cry over at my neighbor's house. Although the baby didn't seem especially happy for whatever reason the sound made me smile...knowing that maybe someday I'll hear that same cry in my home. Although I'm not nearly done yet...I feel I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I cannot stop getting teary at this post.
I am so happy that this is over for you and that your doctor sounds amazing. This is such a relief to have someone, a professional, pretty much point to exactly what has caused your losses.
Will you still have doubts and fears? Sure. So will I, believe me. But I think that is where low dose progesterone and baby aspirin will likely be my "crutches"....
So thrilled for you.
I am glad it went well and that you have an answer to the cause of your miscarriages.
I hope you heal quickly!
Congrats on the remodelled uterus. Will you have a follow-up HSG?
Dear Sushilover, congratulations!
Doesn't it feel amazing to finally know the reason -- and to have it removed already? I'm hoping your remodeling job does the trick like it did for me!

Congratulations! It feels good to know what was causing so much trouble is gone! Wonderful!
Hello, I just found your blog and wanted to say how sorry I am for your losses, but how happy I am that they seem to have found a reason/solution! I thought that my drs found the reason for my losses a few years ago, but it turned out they didn't, so know I am back at step one. I will have my hysteroscopy with my next cycle. Hope your recovery goes well!
Congrats on the successful surgery! Rest up over the next couple days, and here's to happy future sans septum.
Feel better, and happy (and fertile) healing!
