This new doctor has been wonderful! I met with my new R.E. and he took my concerns over low AMH seriously and my concerns over the hasty diagnosis of bicornuate uterus seriously. He scheduled me for a Saline hysterosonogram (which was incredible amounts of pain). Sure enough he saw right away the exterior 'material' in my uterus and said this is NOT bicornuate but a septate uterus. Ahhh, finally a diagnosis! This means it's treatable with a relatively quick and easy surgery.
I chose to have the surgery and i'm glad (so far) I did. It was pretty quick only about 30 minutes long. I was given anesthetic to completely put me under. And woke up to a small amount of pain but tolerable. It takes several months to heal from the surgery so this will take you out of TTC for 2-3 months. After the surgery my doctor told me that he did find a lot more 'debris' that he was expecting. The extra tissue was very wide and low and went from fallopian tube to tube stretching across the top part of my uterus. He said as he expected once he removed the debris my uterus expanded and opened up quite nicely. I'm hoping this takes away my horrible cramping pain I experience with a period. Only time will tell now.
My doctor said at the very least it's evened the playing field for my chances with IVF which we then discussed might be the best option for me as my low amh is only going to get lower.
When I explained the things the previous doctor had done and said he apologized and said he was frankly very disappointed in the treatment I had received that far.
