Double Uterus,Double Cervix,Double Vagina

[agy983]

I am a 27years old,i was diagnosed with a double uterus,double cervix,double vagina condition two years ago..Before the diagnosis i had tried to conceive for almost a year and a half to no avail..Then i conceived and i got a miscarriage after to months,its then that i decided to have the ultra sound that showed the above condition.My ex husband had not experienced any abnormality during our love making and i wonder how because of the two vaginae,although the doctor told me that its just a small membrane that was separating the two so he couldn't feel if..My sex life was normal,but now my problem is that i was told by the doctors i visited that its dangerous to try and conceive because i could get pregnant in one uterus while am still pregnant in the other and my uterus is one heart shaped with two chambers not two complete uteruses...My question is..  Is there any hope for me getting pregnant and having my own baby???I also visited other doctors who told me that i could get pregnant but i couldn't carry the pregnancy into full term...others told me its not even possible to have an operation to join the two uteruses since it was an unfinished fusion process while i was still being formed in my mum's womb..I was also told to go for more tests to check the strength of the two uteruses but i never managed to do the tests due to financial problems and my ex husband abandoned me when he was told i couldn't get pregnant and he was in need of a baby...I then decided to lay low about my condition but now i want to know what i can do about it...Am so worried am even afraid of getting into another relationship because i fear i will be abandoned when the man realizes my condition..Please help me..

I am sorry to hear that you are going through so much right now.  I wish I had answers for you, but I do not.  All I do know is that anything is possible if we put ourselves in the best position to have it happen.  It would seem to me that finding a good partner, one who truly cares and loves you would be such an important part of this problem.  Then the two of you could go through this together and that would surely loosen your load.  Don't put yourself in the position of being abandoned again.  Find someone who loves and respects you for you and then things will certainly improve.  Hugs to you, slc

Go see a specialist.  Regular gynecologists are really not equipped to know what to do about unusual uteruses, and they often don't do a lot of research before they just tell you one thing or another.  What you need is an MRI of the entire structure of your uteruses and pelvis, and then a good doctor to read the MRI and another good doctor to advise you.  My perinatologist was the one who assisted me, but also a reproductive endocrinologist could help you.  Both are ob-gyns with further training.

The thing about accidentally getting pregnant again when you are already pregnant sounds silly to me, since a pregnancy will shut off your ovulation.  So unless the doctor was thinking about you getting pregnant in the very same cycle (before the hormones of pregnancy had shut off the ovulation), I can't imagine what he was talking about.  And getting pregnant all in the same cycle sounds no different than twins.

In any case, go see a better doctor, and get lined up for an MRI.  Until you know for sure what is really going on, you will not be able to judge whether a surgery to remove the septum is possible or if your uteruses are so separate that it can't help.  Septum removal surgery is not an unusual surgery, so keep trying until you find a doctor who is either experienced in this kind of thing or at least is not scared of it (as my first doctor was).

Good luck!
