Diagnosis of utherine hypoplasia through hysterosalpingography

I am a 39 year-old woman trying to conceive since 10 months ago. Following the prescriptions of my gynaecologist, I tested my hormone levels (all of them were ok) and my husband had a seminogram (also fine). The following test was a hysterosalpingrography. Fallopian tubes were fine but the diagnosis “suggests utherine hypoplasia”.

I have searched the term in the internet and I am deeply depressed. However, there are certain things I do not understand if I compare my condition with the information I have found. I have always menstruated since I was 12 years old and my menstruations have always been quite abundant. Moreover, I have always had an annual visit to the gynaecologist and everything was ok. None told something was wrong with the size of my uterus.

I will show the results to my gynaecologist next Friday and I am scared. Does it mean I have no possibilities at all of conceiving?

Hi!
There is always a possibility, so don't despair.  Because I don't know the measurements of your uterus, I can only comment generally. In some cases surgery can be used to correct the condition.  In other cases, the condition is mild enough that it is possible to conceive and carry a child, although risks for preterm labor are increased.  Finally, if none of the above are possible, there is still the option of gestational surrogacy.
If my patient had this condition, I would be certain to send her to a physician who specializes in care of women with uterine hypoplasia.
Good luck!
