Yes.  It is a tipped uterus.  There is nothing bad about it.  The fetus will often be hard to be seen on ultrasound.  I would suggest you go to this web-site and read this woman's situation with that.  Also, you can send a post and she will respond to you.  Also, at the misdiagnosed blighted ovum link, her e-mail address is there.  She will be able to give you more info and to help you.

Bicornuate uterus is not a "tipped uterus". It is a uterus with 2 horns which makes it a double uterus. It can be divided totally or only partly, that depends on the woman. Go on Google to search to find info on this, my daughter has the same condition and her baby came 6 weeks early. Many women deliver early because of it.

The article you mention tells of the woman having a tilted uterus as well as a bicornuate uterus. Also the Epinion.org is in google that tells about what it is.

I have just been told I have a bicornuate uterus also. I am going to be 35 this fall and my husband and I have just recently decided to start trying to have a baby (only 3 months trying). We both though it would happen right away - pretty naive I guess. My mom and two sisters didn't have any problems conceiving so I just thought I wouldn't either. Plus two of my friends and both my sisters in law became pregnant as soon as they started trying so I have been feeling kind of down. I decided to start checking myself out and was surprised to discover the bicornuate uterus - especially since I had an ultrasound at age 26 for an ovarian cyst and they didn't say anything about it then. If I had known earlier I probaby would have started trying to have a baby earlier as I have been with my spouse for 13 years - but I guess I should have pursued my fertility situation myself earlier.

I've been on the pill since the age of 12 because of debilitating menstrual cramps, save for one year in my twenties until they returned again (the only thing they could do with me is give me Demerol - nothing else worked) but they haven't returned since I've been off this time. I am going for an HSG in the next few weeks and hopefully that will uncover that I only have a mild form of this abnormality. I am glad to know about this beforehand though so that I can be prepared if anything should go wrong during my (hopefully) pregnancy. I am hoping that my body is still adjusting it's hormones to being off the pill and that I will be pregnant soon. Belinha I was so happy to hear your positive comments - so much out there about this condition is negative. Thanks. I hope more women with successful pregnancies with bicornuate uterus will publicize thier stories too.

I am 31.5 weeks pregnant with my first baby.  I have a tilted and bicornuate uterus.  I do not have a double uterus because I have no septum between.  I must tell you that my doctor was concerned of miscarriage and preterm labor, but I am proof that you can have a long, healthy pregnancy.
