Slow down just a sec. The sono is just the first step. You need a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy to be fully evaluated. You may not end up having that much of a defect, or it may not need repairing, or it may be able to be done with the hysteroscope. I urge you to discuss fully with your gyn. If he does not do these procedures, ask him for a referral...Dr. von Almen
