deformed uterus

I had bleeding when I was 8 weeks pregnant.  I went to the hosipital and was told that the baby did not have a heart beat and a DNC would have to be preformed.  When in the operation room a simple DNC took longer than normal.  After waking up my doctor told me that he was unable to get the fetus out and explained that the fetus was in some kind of "pocket" in the uterus and the only thing I could do was wait and let the fetus leave my body normally.  I finally miscarried a month after I found out the baby had no heart beat.  Later a hystercopy was preformed to see what condition the uterus was in.  The test came back and my uterus is deformed, or shall I say half of one, turned upside down.  When I asked about child in the furture, I was told it my take several pregnancies to make the uterus big enough to carry a child.  Is this true and are there any procedures that can be done to the uterus, for example plastic surgery?
