Arcuate Uterus and EGGS!

So today I had my Ultrasound.
My shriveled up ovaries have some  good, mature follicles ready for O any time now. There is a "Prominent  Uterine Arcuate and pelvic adnexal vessels". This seems to mean there is  a 'dip' in the top of my uterus. Google suggests it is the lesser  concerning type of uterine malformation that occurs. I wonder though  whether this is a new development after pregnancy as I have never seen  this mentioned EVER in previous ultrasounds (and there have been a lot.
The  most stark item on the report (for me). G12P2. 12 pregnancies and 2  children. That is insane. Part of me wonders what the hell I am doing.

I  sat back this afternoon and read through this entire blog.  from my 2 major losses in 2008. I was so very lost.  So broken. I have come such a long way since then. Even reading back on  it it feels so surreal. It was so intense, clearly the worst year of my  life. But reading back on it I feel so, so very sad for 27 year old me.  It really reminded how much my eldest daughter's birth genuinely saved  my heart and soul.

So today's results..... I fell like this is  all going to come back to "bad luck:". Nothing significant that is  causing the losses, just another turn at bad luck. There has never been a  reason. I've had 9 losses now. 9. 9 losses with no real connection.  Nothing that signifies a simply problem. well, actually, nothing that  signifies any problem at all. These latest losses could just simply be  poor egg quality from an ageing reserve.
I did read some articles  that refer to "super fertile women". So women who conceive and implant  eggs that really should never make it that far. That would be one of the  things that make the most sense. I am super fertile. I usually get  pregnant if my husband just looks at me at the right time of the month.

Part of me thinks that the OBGYN is going to give me two options....
1. continue on and try naturally for as long as we can handle it emotionally
2. IVF with full PGD testing to ensure a healthy embryo.

I  was willing to do a medicated cycle, but my gut tells me that wont be  on offer. I think that the fact that you can see a dozen or more eggs  maturing on the scan will limit any medication use for the risk of  multiples.

It's all speculation I guess. Once again we continue  on try naturally this month (O imminent from scan) and then if not  successful we will go from there. OBGYN is first week of April on about 7  or 8 dpo. so just that tiny little bit too early to know if this month  is successful or not.

and for your viewing pleasure we even have pics!
