Hi!

Just wondering if anyone on here is currently on the MSt Creating Writing course or has done it in the past - if so, how did you make it work? What job did you do alongside it and how did you handle having time off to do the residential parts? I did my undergrad at Cambridge so know what that workload is like - how does the workload for an MSt compare and is it difficult to hold down a full time job alongside it?

Thank you!

Hi,

Just looking to see if anyone here has any experience of uterine hypoplasia/infantile uterus! I'm 24 and in the UK. I went private to investigate whether I have endometriosis, and during a transvaginal scan a few weeks ago I was told my uterus appeared to be much smaller than it should be.

I had a follow-up with the consultant today, and she's referred me for an MRI to get a better look at it. But essentially, my uterus measures 2.5 cm compared to the average 7-9 cm. She was very hesitant to answer any questions I had about the impact of this on fertility because she wants to wait for the MRI.

I've been dwelling on this for weeks now and still don't feel like I know what's going on! No one has any idea what's caused this, as I went through puberty normally and actually started my periods somewhat early at age 11. My periods were always a bit irregular but were heavy and painful, not light. The scan showed my ovaries and cervix are normal.

Has anyone else here had this diagnosis? I feel like I'm in limbo, I don't want to grieve my fertility before I know for definite that it's an issue, but likewise I don't need to be a doctor to know a 2.5cm uterus is on the severe side of this condition.

Any advice/experiences/etc. would be much appreciated!
