My sister was diagnosed with a bicornuate uterus (one uterus with a septum dividing it into 2 parts). However, that was a misdiagnosis. She has had 2 children. When she was pregnant the second time, some tests showed there may be fetal distress. So she was referred to a maternal/fetal subspecialist. He said she has a didelphus uterus. That means she actually has 2!! So, apparently, one uterus is where the fetuses grew and the other one was "inactive". Her regular gynecologist should have figured this out because she has 2 cervixes and she should have been getting a pap smear on each one. However, it wasn't until this subspecialist discovered her misdiagnosis that she knew she had 2 cervixes.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry you had 3 miscarriages. I can't imagine.<BR/><BR/>I'm very happy for you that you have your precious Kelly. It's always nice to hear a hopeful story like this!<BR/><BR/>Well, I can't say I've ever heard of the "whisky-ibuprofen" regimen. :) Treatment options still have plenty of room for improvement but there are some great researchers out there working on it. (It's too bad more research wasn't done sooner but I'm happy to know of a couple of great researchers working on endo now).<BR/><BR/>Yes, endometriosis is definitely challenging! It's great to be connected with fellow patients, though. It helps people feel less alone. It also informs and empowers people so that they can better advocate for themselves... which is huge!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you like the blog. :) There's nothing to thank me for...<BR/><BR/>Please come back here for a visit sometime! :)<BR/><BR/>JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454649048120118507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314299443408924142.post-50781245891444259152008-10-13T15:08:00.000-04:002008-10-13T15:08:00.000-04:00I was pretty-much written off for ever having a ba...I was pretty-much written off for ever having a baby due to to my years and years of endo, plus a partially septate uterus. Oh joy oh bliss.<BR/><BR/>But a few operations and 3 miscarriages later, there came along a Kelly, who is now 7.<BR/><BR/>By Jeepers, I remember the monthly curling up on the bed with that pain which my remedy for was 2 shots of whisky and 2 ibuprophens. But that was some years ago so hopefully better remedies are used.<BR/><BR/>I feel for anyone going through endo.<BR/><BR/>And thank you for this blog!!Jannie Funsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595786402510366043noreply@blogger.com
