Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hi , Sorry if I'm blunt in my responses below - hope this helps! <<He did an internal and said I definately have UD --I have only 1 cervix, 1 vagina, he said it was rare but...>>. Yes, it is rare that you only have 1 cervix and " definitely " diagnosed as UD after only an office exam... usually you need a more thorough test (e.g. HSG along with MRI and/or lap/hyst) to give a definite diagnosis. As mentioned earlier, it may be possible that you do have another cervix, but it is hidden (my doctor used to call my left one a 'peekaboo' cervix because he could only catch glimpses of it sometimes since it was curved to the left). <<I have to have a HSG... he said depending on the shape of the uterus and the 'septate' dividing the uterus he will decide if i can have a resection...>> Like Jenessa and said, I think you would only need a resection if you had a septate in the uterus, which is more characteristic of SU, not UD. UD means you have two separate uteri, with independent walls (so you wouldn't want to resect your uterine walls). <<If he rules out the above or If I dont want to go ahead with a resection he wants me to TTC.>> My doc also rec'ed I TTC (when we're ready) to get on the road to ruling out other potential fertility issues. <<..with UD you can fall pregnant in one uterus then a few weeks, days or months you can fall pregnant again in the other that is good news isnt it >> I heard that's possible too in some journal articles I read, but like Beth mentioned - a bit unlikely if your hormones do their job and stop further ovulation once pregnant. Also, my doc said he would be worried about any multiple birth with UD women because it would be equivalent to a " normal " woman having triplets. Having 2 uteri sometimes means there is less space for a baby to grow in the uterus (whether because the uterus is smaller than normal or the other uterus takes up space and the pregnant one has less room to grow...). In other words, multiple births with UD (from what I've been told) are not ideal. (would love to hear from ladies who are UD and had twins, though, to see how it went...) Good luck with HSG!
