bicornuate uterus help getting preg

by childatheart, Jan 14, 2004 12:00AM
Is there anything you suggest I do to enhance my chances of getting pregnant?  I have a bicornuate uterus and no luck so far.  My doctor says to just keep trying, but if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

I have a bicornate uterus too. IT has taken me years to get pregnant and then all of the sudden i got pregnant right off this time. I do know i prayed every day for this pregnancy. also the only other thing i did different was use Robitusin with that stuff that starts with a G..  can't recall the name...but it thins your cervical mucous.i jsut took some around ovulation time. I jsut know it stars with a G... Also i used the sperm meets egg plan. I ovulate every 14 days and i had sex before that day and got the spermies there waiting for the egg to drop. there's another lady on her with a bicornate uterus. She's around 21-22 weeks now,,, she told me about it. She'll post when she sees your comment and she can help as well. Hope

Hi! There is hope for us ladies. I am 20.5 weeks now and things are going very very well. I havent had as much heartache as hopeinal but I have to say that her faith and optimism have helped her keep a positive attitide that most likely helps keep her body running smoothly during tough times. I too used the Sperm meets Egg plan to make sure I had the little spermies in the right place at the right time. The website is

I have to say though that it says to test with the ovulation kit from days 10 to 20 (I think). You might want to start testing a couple of days  earlier (my sister-in-law ovulated on day 8 and I didn't ovulate until day 21). How long have you been trying ttc? Have you discussed it with your doctor? I'm wondering if there are any positions that help during intercouse? I wish you luck and keep in touch.

My husband and I have been trying for almost 2 years now.  I had an ectopic preg. back in Aug. so I know there is a chance to conceive.  My doctor and I talk often but she just wants me to keep trying on our own.  She doesn't seem worried.  Thanks for the advice.  It's always easier to discuss this with someone who is going through similar things.  Im glad to hear that everything is going well with your pregnancy.  It makes me less nervous about carrying one of my own.

Hi everyone! I am 27 years old, and have had 4 miscarriages since I was 16. I have seen several different doctors who had said the same thing, getting pregnant wasnt the problem, carrying my baby was. They had told me I had a bicornate uterus,and if I didnt have avery expensive surgery by the time I turn 30 to give up.  I got pregnant last Feb.  I was scared I was going to lose this one, too. I found a doctor who specializes in high risk pregnancies, he helped me.  I am now the mother of a beautiful and very healthy 4 month old boy. My advise to anyone who wants a baby and is having troubles like this is dont give up, if I can have this little miracle, you can,too!

I've recently had a misscarridge and when having a scan was told i had a bicornate uterus. The midwife said there was nothing to worry about however when i was going into have my d&c the surgeon told me this could be the cause of my loss. I had also in the past been diagnosed with pcos, got told it would be difficult for me to get pregnant and loose weight etc and that was about it i'd have to get on with it.All i've ever wanted was to have a baby and since being with the man i very much love and adore has only cemented this feeling.I feel totally confused and very lost, this was the first site i've stumbled accross and could do with some guidance!

Hi I'm only 22, and I have just had the most strange experience today! i found out i was pregnant last week. and I it came as a shock as I thought I was infertile! But when the doctor did an ultrascan she said that it was trapped in my falopian tube, and I had to go to surgery right away. I was sooo scared, and I am living in a foreign country at the moment! When i arrived at the hospital, i waited for three hours and was told that I had a bicornulate uterus. I am only four weeks pregnant, so it is very early days yet. But now I know it is safe, I am praying that it is healthy :O)

Any hints and tips to stay healthy ladies in my first few weeks?

Thanks

Kirsty
