Didelphic Uterus-trying to concieve NEW to this board :)

[Guest guest]

Hi I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with a didelphic uterus when I

was about 22 years old. It's funny because I had routine pap smears

from age 18 on and it took untill I was 22 to find my didelpic

utuerus on ultrasound. Anyhow, my husband and I are now trying to

concieve. I discontinued birth control pills over 2 years ago and we

stopped using condoms 9 months ago. No baby yet. We are moving to

Ohio soon and I will contact a reproductive endocrinologist at the

Cleveland Clinic and have an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) done. Any

advice or comments are welcome. It is reasuring to see other women

who have Uterine didelphis who have become pregnant and carried

healthy children. I have seen SEVERAL reputable OB/GYN's through the

years and they all have the same negative things to say since there

is really very little literature out there with positive outcomes

Thank you for welcoming me

ps. I also have 2 working kidneys

Hi there and welcome to the club:o)

I have a UD as well, but am surprised to hear about your conceiving

problems.

I had a m/c in week 11 last october (they say not UD related)and I am

now 18 weeks pregnant. All of my gyn have always assumed that

conceiving would not be the main problem, but carrying pregnancy to

term would be.

I am expecting (according to my gyn.) to have a caesarian around 7.5

to 8 months, as she thinks it unlikely I will be able to carry a

pregnancy any longer (incompetent uterus may lead to premature

birth...)

So don't despair a UD is actually one of the misshapes which has a

good outlook towards pregnancy.

Best of Luck to you!

Hi and welcome!

Try not to focus too much on the scary literature you read...UD

really does have great pg outcomes! We have a lot of members here to

reassure you. And if you go the " photos " folder you will see some of

their kids. Sounds like you are really informed. I hope that you

find a good dr at Cleveland Clinic. Just make sure that they monitor

you closely through a pg. I just wanted to welcome you and wish you

lots of luck ttcing.

Hi! WOW! I was reading your post and there are so many

similarities between us! I am 28, UD and found out about my UD at

21. DH and I have been ttc for 1 1/2 yrs. Good news: I've been

pg. twice. Bad news: I've lost them both. Good news: The losses

weren't related to UD, just flukes.

I don't really have any advice for you at this point--good luck ttc!
