TTC after uterine surgery and loss

This is my first month TTC again after surgery on my uterus to remove a septum. We've been trying for a year now and have managed to conceive twice but both ended in loss as both implanted on my septum which meant they had reduced blood flow. I was lucky (in the most shit way possible) to have my septum found during a post-loss scan, and had it corrected when they had to go in and remove retained products.

I used to ovulate very regularly around 10-14 days of my cycle and had very obvious signs. This month I've had none of those, but I've been using OPKs and it's identified a peak this morning. Should I trust that?

My first period after surgery, HRT and coil removal (both were to prevent adhesions) snuck up on me as the cramping was the mildest I've ever had in my 20 years of having them. That was nice, but I'm now in a state of completely second-guessing my body,

Has anyone else been through this and managed to finally conceive and carry long enough to have a baby?

Hi.
i know this post is old but wanted to ask how you’ve been getting on? Recently had this surgery myself and not sure what to expect over next few months..
After your septum repair and removal of retained products of conception did you have to have another hysteroscopy to check for adhesions or was it a normal ultrasound?

I didn't have any follow-up which really stressed me out. My periods went back to normal, and were significantly less painful than prior to surgery. I had 3 after surgery and they nearly snuck up on me because I wasn't in excruciating pain for days.

Also, we've just conceived and I'm 5 weeks. My symptoms have come on really strong so I'm hoping everything is all good this time!

Ah congratulations! Everything crossed for you!

so to confirm you had your coil removed but no repeat hysteroscopy to check for adhesions? Was this NHS?

How were you guys directly after your septum removal? I'm day 4 post removal and feeling soooo uncomfortable and sore. Wasn't expecting it to be this bad. Did you have this??

Hi. Sorry for late reply. I was uncomfortable for a day or two only. Has it settled down now?

Ah right. it got worse but it's because my period showed up (first one post miscarriage treatment) and it hurts like HELL as obviously someone's been up in there. If it's still bad on Monday I'll call St Marys but hoping it's just awful awful timing.
