Hi,
I've gone through your query and I understand quite well your concern.
Septate uterus is considered a type of uterine duplication anomaly. Subseptate uterus is a partial septum that involves the endometrial canal but not the cervix.
I want to tell you that a patient with a septate uterus does not have the difficulty to get pregnant but, unfortunately with a septate uterus carry the possibility of miscarriage at a high rate. (88-90%)
BUT, there is a solution. In septate uterus, the septum can be shaved off during hysteroscopy to form a single uterine cavity.Reproductive outcome has been shown to improve after resection of the septum. Spontaneous abortion rate decreased in higher rate too.
So, please consult your doctor again in oder to find the best solution to your case.
Hope this information is hopeful to you
