My understanding is that I was born with it. But I didn’t have the tissue in my periods until I was 21 and my periods started when I was 13. I just noticed it has really slowed down since I had it removed.

I know it can be hard to diagnose a septum or identify them in ultrasounds. Mine was so big it was obvious. I’ll add a picture of my ultrasound pre surgery. All the extra tissue in mine was fiberous, not muscular. In the ultrasound it looks like it comes nearly to my cervix, but when they did my surgery they realised it actually extended into my cervix.

That's a fascinating scan pic. I am glad that they managed to remove this septum for you with it being so severe. I know that I have a retroverted uterus and so does my mum (tipping backwards) I will ask about septums and if they can form at any point when I eventually get my gynaecological consultant appointment. Thanks for the info.

I also have a retroverted uterus. I have a friend that recently found out she has a small septum and she has a 6 year old already. They just found it as she’s been having trouble conceiving the second. They said they don’t think it would cause problems but as she’s 40 and having trouble they said removing it wouldn’t hurt.

Edit: I wanted to add that after having my septum removed they said I am now considered to have a normal uterus and my pregnancies should be normal. We have only been able to try two cycles since I recovered from my surgery and we conceived this cycle. It looks like it’s ending as a chemical pregnancy, but it’s the first time in my life that I’ve had an obvious positive on a test, so I am feeling good about that even if it does end in miscarriage.

I really hope that by some miracle your test will be blazing positive tomorrow and if not that you conceive very soon. Do you have any symptoms of pregnancy?

Thanks... same for you!

The only thing I’ve noticed is that I could smell the eggs inside my muffins very strongly yesterday and today. They smelled like scrambled egg and not in a good way. It’s a recipe I make all the time so that was very unusual.

I’ve also been very tired, but that’s normal for me during a period as well because I tend to have quite heavy bleeding.

Why are heavy and painful periods not good? I have always had this and managed 4 children.

because its indicative of numerous problems, fertility wise heavy periods are not nearly so bad as no periods tho of course, so it makes sense you and many other women have done fine
 
I think i might have panicked too soon. The bloating has begun. Its still different from my usual pattern, but I don't feel quite so much like I have no hope of another pregnancy.

I didnt know that about heavy periods. Mine used to be super light and short when I was ttc my last few pregnancies and this time they are heavier and longer and I hoped that was a good sign. Like there was more in there to cling on to :haha:

Doing okay thank you. Had my first food aversion tonight so some defrosted pasta cheese and veggies I made for my son. Had a strong smell I was like yeah no not dealing with that!
Hope you are all doing okay. Il kept everything crossed for lots of BFP this month x
 
Hey guys.
So af is due tomorrow. I’ve continued to have af like cramps so are holding off to test. Felt a bit nauseous again after my coffee. Will be a little sad if i do finally conceive and get sick at the smell of coffee after hubby bought me a lovely coffee machine for Christmas but definitely a sacrifice I’d be happy to make. Hubby has picked up that I’ve been complaining about cramping but that af hasn’t arrived, I just don’t want to get his hopes up.
I’ll buy some more tests today and try and hold off until the morning.
Yesterday i went shopping with my mum and had to go to the toilet numerous times. Told her that I had drunk heaps of water before going out but she always suspects I’m pregnant. Fingers are still crossed.
Love to everyone who’s :witch: has arrived this month already. I know how you feel and I hope next cycle is the one <3

I would call that a positive but tomorrows might be even darker? At least that is what happens to me sometimes.

trust me to have decided not to temp again this month. I have felt normal O things. I weirdly get a slight sore throat from surge to just after O, had some twinges as if something is going to happen. What I thought was EWCM but we dtd
Not last night but night before so thought it was that

@LuvallmyH thats like the fertility mic drop :haha:

:rofl: I just want to make everyone aware that there is a very wide range of “normal.” I swear we can talk ourselves right into infertility and certain death if we focus too much on “issues.” For me personally I know my age is a factor and I might not get a rainbow. I would say most of the rest of you will achieve a pregnancy and have a healthy baby.
I have pcos, I had laser surgery on my cervix at 18. Ended up with scar tissue by 20. I didn’t ovulate or know my body at all. I went to a reproductive endo at 22 and they told me after all the testing I’d never get pregnant on my own. I didn’t leave my bed for 3 days. I took fertility meds for my fist. After my second I had a mc and went through more treatment, injections... testing with 2 more fertility drs. After that I paid attention to my body. I’ve taken herbs, done acupuncture, charted for years. Stood on my head, tried every position, begged dh lol. Nothing I wouldn’t have done to have my babies. My point is, anything is possible. Never give up on yourself. Even if you don’t fit everyone else’s mold.
