Hi Tammy,

I went through a similar cervix-related confusion after my first

delivery. My right cervix, which is the side I delivered on, also

stayed slightly open or as my doctor put it " enlarged " for a long

time and I remember my OB/GYN attempting to do a Pap smear 6 months

post-delivery and being unable to " find " the other cervix. She

explained that the right side was still so much bigger due to the

delivery, plus the vaginal septum tear probably changed the lay of

the land as well and she just couldn't find the other cervix for the

longest time. I remember it well because it was agonizing. Needless

to say, she did find it eventually, but I remember difference in size

and the slight opening on the right side. I didn't think to ask her

if there were any implications from that. I imagine everything got

back to normal eventually, but my next PG was on the other side -

left uterus and left cervix, so it wasn't really an issue.

I also have only had US and HSG as diagnostic methods to get to the

UD conclusion and I wouldn't pursue any further testing at this

point, as I won't be having any more kids, but I really feel for you

to have to face this uncertainty now, when you thought you knew what

you were dealing with. I think an MRI may give you the answers you

need, but talk to your doctor again about the cervix thing, maybe

it's just a case of being more diligent.

Wow, it's hard to believe it's been 5 months already, my son is also

5 months and change, it's amazing how time flies. Best of luck to

you, I hope everything turns out well. Take care,

Lia
