Interstitial (cornual) pregnancy?

At my first appointment, it looks like our baby has implanted too far to one side.  The doctor is suspicious it is an interstitial pregnancy (and will not be viable).  Going to specialist for second U/S Tuesday.  

Has anyone had experience with this?  They're talking about resecting part of my uterus (not just a D&C) - so I'm really not feeling hopeful!  And after a LONG journey to get pregnant, I'm wondering what our future fertility chances are.

The doc said we can discuss all this next week after we know for sure, I'm just really going crazy over here.  And not able to find much online that's helpful.

I am not an expert by any means, but I did some research about interstitial pregnancies when my doctor expressed some concern about where my current pregnancy was located.

What I found when I researched this: management of interstitial pregnancies is more difficult than tubal pregnancies, because the embryo can implant more fully in that tissue. Some interstitial pregnancies require just a D&C, and others require a D&C plus a resection. Part of the management strategy depends on where exactly the pregnancy is located.

From what I have read, pregnancy is possible after an interstitial pregnancy, but you will need to be closely monitored during the pregnancy, and will probably require a c-section to reduce the chance of uterine rupture during delivery.

Just so you know, though, doctors can be wrong about the location of a pregnancy. I had a very early ultrasound (5 weeks, 1 day). It took my RE a bit of time to locate the pregnancy because it was much further to the right side of my uterus than she expected. She told me that there was a chance that the pregnancy was interstitial and might require surgery but that she couldn't tell for sure (yet) where the pregnancy was located. 

My next u/s was a week later, and my RE found the pregnancy smack dab in the middle of my uterus. I really don't know what changed (and I googled the heck out of this) but everything has been fine since then. I don't want to give you false hope, but there is still a chance that your pregnancy could be viable.

I am really sorry that you're going through this, and I really hope everything turns out OK.
