pregnancy with two uterus

[sjis2much]

I have two uterus and was wondering if it is possible to get pregnant and I was wondering if you could carry a baby to full term.  Also is there any other concerns I should be aware of?

You have 2 uterus'es?Wow...nanis

As far as I know, it is completely possible. It is even possible, with a little stretching of the imagination that you could get pregnant in both uteruses at once. Do they both lead to your cervix, or do you have two cervixes? I would suspect that the biggest risk would be an increased chance of C-section.

Have you heard of someone being their own twin? This means that they were fraternal twins that fused very early after conception, and were still viable, and formed a single child. Some of these have duplicate organs. They have two separate sets of DNA, and different organs, or even parts of organs have different DNA from what may show in the hair or blood. Maybe you already know the cause of your unique difference, but if not, maybe this is food for thought.

You may consider asking your OBGYN for a Hysterosalpingiogram (HSG) if you haven't had one done. This will show by x-ray the exact anatomy of your uteruses, and fallopian tubes.

Hi, I have two uteri as well.  It's called uterine didelphys and yes, it is possible to become pregnant and carry the baby to term.  I got pregnant at 18 and delivered my son 11 days before the due date.  He was in my right uterus, and since it was small and there wasn't much room for him to grow, he was only 5 lbs. 10 oz.  Also, it was a spontaneous delivery (as in common with UD) and he was footling breech.  I literally walked into the hospital at 3:20 am, he was born at 3:38 am, and I was in recovery at 3:55 am.  He had really good apgar scores.



It is definitely hard to conceive with UD and most women have to have c-sections, but it can be done.  I've read about a number of women with stories similar to mine.



My problem in conceiving now is that I was just recently dx with hypothyroidism and I suspect I have PCOS.



If you're like me, you have to have two pap smear cultures at each yearly gyno visit, no? :)

[sjis2much]

Yes I do have two paps smears.  It is hard now for you to concieve.  Why?? Please explain the short forms.  Thanks

I have two uteruses and two cervixis. It's called a didelphuis reproductive system. And when we were trying to get pregnant, we got pregnant with twins. One in each uterus. I was completely shocked! Their are no twins in either my husbands family nor mine. It only happened because of my two uteruses and two cervexis. It's very rare, and my doctors have not seen this happen before. But their are about 13 cases worldwide with similer pregnancy's only these twins are born at different times. Like weeks! Can you imagine, so incredible! Their are acctually quite a few women with two uteruses that have had a many children. 20 years ago epileptic pregnant women, where given a type of medication that at the time they didn't know, but it formed the female babies reproductive system differently, sometimes. Thats what happened in my case. So they answer to your question, you can deffinetly have a baby, and their shouldn't be any complications.

I have two uterus' and i have been trying to have a baby for over a year, not sure if my lack of conception has anything to do with my condition, anyone else have a problem conceiving?

[TwoWombMamma]

I have uterine didelphys . I am 14 weeks with a baby in each uterus. I would love to hear more of your story. This is a rare pregnancy and to talk to someone who has been in this situation would be wonderful.

[TwoWombMamma]

I have two uterus and two cervix. (Uterine Didelphys) I have two children and I am now pregnant with twins. A baby in each uterus. I had to have a HSG done before conceiving my first child to see how my stuff was set up. It's where they insert dye into your cervix. (This is said to also give all your tubes a good cleaning.) I was pregnant my next cycle. My next child took 16 months of trying. My current pregnancy took about that long as we. So I believe this condition does make it hard to conceive. In my case I might ovulate in one side but not the other where the sperm had traveled. It always seemed liked hit or miss. The way I understand it is you have a period from the ovulating side. Thats why some may be heavier than others. You just never know which side is doing what. I am not a doctor, but I have experienced  15 years of knowing I had Uterine Didelphys. I hope this may help you and others.

[baldyloks]

I have two uterus as well and i also have low progestrone levels. I just had a second misscarriage after 7 wks. I'm very frustrated

[gsh1227]

I have 2 uterus' and 2 cervix and my husband and I are starting to try probably next month.  I am 32 and was always worried that I'd have issues getting pregnant when all of the people I know get pregnant on the first "try".  This has been really helpful and I hope that I have a wonderful experience like you did.

[monroekitty]

I was just told today that I have 2 uterus'.  I only have one cervix though.  My husband has low morphology on his SA and we will repeat this month.  Now that my tubes got their "good cleaning" as everyone has told me, maybe something magical will happen.
My husband is trying to digest this news of 2 uterus' too.

my friend carried a baby to full term and had a bicornipicated uterus, as well as endometriosis.

[Lemenna]

So this is going to sound like a dumb question probably, but on gray's anatomy they had this same kind of case (I know, I know...tv...sorry!) but the gal was at different points in each of the pregnancies.  For all of you ladies were the babies at the same week or conceived at different times?  I know that is just tv, but was wondering if that is actually possible?
Thanks!

Well after two miscarriages with my two uterus my Dr is sending me to a fertility specialist to see if they can help. I'm so nervous to hear bad news,but I'm excited to see if I can try again after a september miscarriage, still nervous though that it will happen again or even worse later in my pregancy. Does anyone else have two uterui with two horns and one cervix and one vagina? I wonder if one cervix makes me less of a risk? I also have low progestrone levels. They put me on prochieve for that. Any incite out there?

[baldyloks]

I went to the fertlity specialist this week. He did a sonagram with dye in my uterus and found that the septum only goes up about half way. He can do sugrery, but can't promise a good outcome. He is reccommending IVF with my sister as a seragit mother. He said its a reproductive nightmere. I know i'm lucky to have my sister do this for me, but I wanted to expierence everything.
