First off the visit started off crappy, apparently i imagined having an appointment at 1:30 and they had no record of me having an apt. Ugh, so that was great i should have known that would be the start of a horrible appointment (when they finally got me in at 3)

So first i go into the room and we talk to the doctor, he goes over my medical history and everything and we talk about what having a bicornuate uterus means etc... i basically knew what all he was saying but as far as future babies he didnt really seem concerned with us having more. He said Michael's pregnancy would have stretched out the area and each continuous baby would probably be able to last longer and longer etc.. Surgery would be an option if i had a divide, but not if its actually bicorn because the surgery for that isnt worth the risks (which i knew) and he said he wanted to take a look and see what was going on before he could really say for sure obviously.

So i got into the room for an u/s and he takes a peak at my cervix first and says its tilted back and way to the left? I dunno... he didnt seem concerned about it but did make sure to mention it several times. So then he sees something weird, and then shoves his hand way up there and kept saying things like "well, wait a minute here... what is that"... then he calls in another doctor to have a look... umm... at this point i'm starting to freak out that something is horribly wrong with me.... So the other doctor was like "yeah thats weird i dont know what that is". Finally he tells me i have tissue around my cervix that is hard like cartilage? He has no idea if thats bad or if i was born with that and its "just the way i am" or what. So needless to say i'm completely worried and this point and he decides i have to go have a biopsy now to find out if everything is okay

So after all this i still have the ultrasound to do. That was really nothing surprising, he says it does appear bicorn but he wants me to have an HSG at some point to learn more about that. Not surprised, i figured i would have too. At no point did he tell me i shouldnt have more kids or anything, he just mentioned "taking it easier next time". I'll probably get more details after the HSG i assume.

He then proceeded to go back to his officer and immediately call my midwife to find out if she knows whats up with my cervix. She said she didnt notice anything before and my pap from December was fine. But... yeah i'm totally freaked out that i have cervical cancer or something... Sigh. So that was my great way to celebrate my 1 year bfp anniversary

I'm sorry . I hope it turns out to be nothing at all! sorry you have to go through all the worry.

AWWW Sam i'm sorry you had such a crappy appt!! Is there a way for you to see a different doc's office?? They sound SUPER professional...NOT! That is good news that you can have more babies though!!!

[Sam914]

I'm not sure, i guess this guy is really good and thats why my midwife referred me in the first place but i didnt really like him. Plus, i didnt know this before i went he's from Argentina and extremely hard to understand when he talks! I had to keep asking him what he said... he wasnt necessarily rude, just had a "different" type of personality/mannerisms... ordinarily i would probably go somewhere else but apparently he's the best around so i guess i'll just stick it out for now.

I am sorry the appointment did not go well and that you don't feel comfortable with the doctor. It is great, though that he did not mention "no more kids" during the visit. Hopefully your next appointment goes well - or you can find another doctor that you do feel comfortable with.

[CandaceDianne]

Im sorry you left the appt totally freaked out. I hope its nothing! KUP!!! {{{{HUGS}}}}

[Julie.K]

I'm so sorry you had such a poor experience at your appointment. I hope it's all ok. KUP

[baby:mama]

Sorry about the appointment. I am sending good thoughts and prayers that it is nothing. I am glad you got the reassurance of having more

[KDD]

I'm sorry that you had such a crappy appt. Hopefully the tissue is nothing more than a little scar tissue from when you gave birth.

[KCMomma]

I'm sorry the appt and doc were crappy. That sucks. When will you find out about the cervix thing? I do think it's really positive that he didn't say you couldn't have more kids!! KUP for sure!

[amazing_love]

Sorry about the crappy appointment hun! Hopefully the tissue is nothing to be concerned about! I'm glad he didn't mention no future kids though!

[Sam914]

Thanks guys! So i talked to the doctor again today and now he wants to send me for an u/s of my kidneys to make sure they are both there! He said he doesnt have any reason to think they arent but he wants to make sure all my parts are there and working before he goes cutting anything (the biopsy). So, now i go pick up the order for that and will schedule that for next week.

I was finally like, hey doc you're really freaking me out what do you think is going on.. and he's like i really dont know, i dont think the tissue is cancerous or anything i just think, if anything, you are malformed in there! So while i may not have cancer (and after all my pap back in december was okay...) who knows what else could be going on. Oh well, at least i dont feel the immediate worry of cancer right now. (for anyone that doesnt know my dad had cancer and died two years ago so i freak out at the "c" word)...

So i'll go get the u/s of my kidneys, maybe a biopsy and then at some point an hsg just to get some more details on my uterus... arg!

[Hoosier Kitty]

Wow i hope everything checks out for you!! Hang tight..

[MommaLee]

Hope it all goes well.

[~* Liss *~]

Hope all works out Sam!

[Celry]

I hope you get some answers and they are all good for you to ttc again soon. I know lots of people have one kidney and don't even know it.

[Sam914]

Really? Thats interesting... i mean, i guess its possible i only have one but it just seems so random to go from tissue around your cervix to a kidney u/s... but, what do i know ??

[fromustobaby]

I hope that it turns out well!

[amazing_love]

Good luck with your u/s. Hope it goes well!

[Tammyms]

Sam, I really hope everything is ok with you! I have such a soft spot in my heart for you since you re-sent me your whole story after finding out I had a bicornuate uterus myself Glad to hear that more kids are in your future so in all this there is some sunshine at the end of the tunnel!
