Can miscarriage occur due to an arcuate uterus?
Hi doctor,
I am a 29 year old female. I am trying to conceive for almost a year. In this time, I have had three miscarriages at 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 5 weeks respectively. With my last pregnancy, I was also on Baby Aspirin 75 mg and Progesterone 400 mg. But, it did not make any difference. I have been recently diagnosed with Grave's disease. During the last pregnancy, I had overt hyperthyroidism. Thyroid antibodies were ATPO 115 (elevated), anti-Tg 33 (mildly elevated) and TRAb 5.8 (elevated). I had a thrombophilia panel done which was clear, with only being heterozygous for MTHFR A1298C which I was told is not an issue. I was advised to have an APS panel and ANA. Shall I take Prednisone 10-15 mg to help with immune issues? In the meantime, I discovered that I have an arcuate uterus from an older MRI. I have read online that an arcuate uterus can be a cause of recurrent miscarriages, as it is a variant of a subseptate uterus. I will attach a photo of that MRI. My question is, if the APS panel is clear and I continue to lose pregnancies two to three times despite having my thyroid under control, is it reasonable to look into the arcuate uterus issue? If so, shall I go for hysteroscopic metroplasty to repair it? Is it a safe procedure? Will it help with my fertility?

What precautions need to be taken for a low lying placenta?
Hello doctor,
I am 30 years old. I am in my first trimester of pregnancy. My 10 weeks 4 days ultrasound showed a very healthy baby of 36 mm with movements and strong heart beat. It is great news. It also mentioned that anterior placenta extending on the lower end. My gynecologist did not seem concerned at all and even never mentioned it. But, what does it mean? Is too early to judge? Or is there some precaution I must take? Thanks in advance.

My daughter has PCOS. What precautions should I take?
Hello doctor,
My daughter is 16 years old. She has irregular periods. Sometimes, the cycle lasts 15 to 20 days, while on some months, it lasts 40 days. Her doctor advised an ultrasound scan. She was diagnosed with cysts on the right and left ovaries. Her cervix size is 7.5. She was asked to take estrogen tablets from the 15th day of her menstrual cycle for 10 days. I would like to know the cause of this particular problem, and how it would affect my child's health. Does she have to follow a particular diet or exercise? Will she be able to conceive? How long will she have to continue the treatment?
