I haven't posted about this in a while. I wish every clinic, and every OB/Gyn would perform a hysteroscopy on women with unexplained miscarriages or infertility. Unfortunately many do not, and you have to be your own sleuth and advocate in figuring out what is wrong with you.
My RE and several OB/Gyns never mentioned that there was such a test, only by researching recurrent pg. loss did I find out about it, and demand one. My RE said it was unnecessary in my case (imagine! I had suffered two second trimester losses at that point, and a chemical pg. from donor eggs, and he says "unnecessary"!) but he was willing to do it for my peace of mind. When I woke from the anesthesia, he was holding my hand, saying "I'm so sorry, you have a uterine septum that probably caused your losses."
And several of my friends on IVFC had similar experiences, only finding out about a "mullerian duct defect" like a septum after suffering many losses or failed IVF cycles.
Good luck to everyone.
