Let's Talk About Having a Bicornuate Uterus

04 Feb 2008 08:53 AM

Thanks for sharing your stories! I'm 26 and I found out I had a bicornate uterus about a year ago along with a wall of tissue (tranversed vaginal septum) blocking the entrance to my uterus. I had surgery on 1/30/08 to remove the wall of tissuse and to get a bettter look at the uterus. The uteri are similar in size. However, they found my right fallopian tube has some scar tissue in it and my lefft one was removed already. The doc. said I wouldn't be able to have kids naturally and would have to do invitro, surogacy or adoption. I am leaning toward invitro and have been told the chance of miscarriage is about 25% and that I will most likely only carry to approx. 27 weeks. Any advice or comments on my situation would be appreciated. We go back to the doc. on 2/6/08 to talk more about the options.

P.S. My Reproductive Specialist mention the possibility of having 3 kidneys since deformities are possible in conjunction with the split uterus which is a birth defect. I guess I was checked out for multiples and that was one thing that was normal!
