Unicornate Uterus (UU)

Just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with a Uterian abnormality like UU?  I was diagnosed early this year when we first starting seeing an RE.  The research I have done shows UU is very uncommon...

Hi.  I'm not familiar with UU, but I was diagnosed October of last year with a T-shaped uterus.  I was told that it wouldn't keep me from conceiving, although we tried with no success for 3+ years.  Other than my uterus, everything else checked out okay with my husband & I.  A t-shaped uterus is basically much smaller than a normal uterus & so my RE wanted to avoid me getting pregnant with multiples.  We did IVF with a single embryo transfer & it was successful on the first try, thank God!  Low and behold, my embryo split & I'm now almost 17 weeks with identical twins.  So, anything is possible :)  I do worry about complications due to a smaller uterus, but all I can do is stay positive.  I know how hard it is to be diagnosed with an abnormality that you never knew about, so I feel for you.  Best wishes :)

Due to UU my Uterus is about half the normal size, so my RE is concerned about multiples to.  We are also dealing with a low sperm, which makes things more difficult.  Congrats on your twins!! Thats wonderful!!!!  Do they have you on best rest yet?  I have read about the potential for preterm labor and that bed rest is commonly perscribed early on...  Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
