Septate uterus

[Lovehearts-]

Hello, my consultant thinks I have a septate uterus, I've just had a MRI scan to rule out bicornuate uterus(still waiting for my results).

Just wondering if anyone has else has this and if so what symptoms they have had and if any problems during pregnancy.

Thanks

Hi

I’m sorry I can’t help with your question but I am sorry you’ve got extra complications on top of Endo though. I hope you can get it sorted.

Hi there,

I too have endo and a diagnosed septate uterus (confirmed when I had my laparoscopy for endo towards the end of last year). I've suffered with heavy bleeding a lot over the past 5 years since coming off the pill, but now know I've likely had endo all along which has no doubt contributed to this. My specialist said I may always have heavy bleeding due to the septate uterus.. but I think I am possibly now starting to see a reduction in bleeding since having my endo treated too.

With regards to pregnancy, I've been told that I can opt for the surgery to remove the septum if I have a miscarriage or need ivf. I'm currently on a TTC journey (only a few months in) so will see what happens before electing for this but I do know that there are plenty of scaremongering stories when you google about it : ( I have managed to find some positive ones too however, and I also tell myself that there are plenty of people out there who struggle to conceive or have complicated pregnancies without having a uterine anomaly.

Sorry for the lengthy reply : ) I hope it has made you feel less alone with having this!
