Hi and welcome to this group. This is a perfect place to get most

of your questions answered not to mention lots of peace of mind!

So sorry I'm posting so long after your intro...It's been quite

hectic lately.

I wanted to reply because I'm also UD and I had a lot of the

questions you have.

>>> My doctor

> says if one is significantly smaller than the other that she would

> want to have it removed prior to pregnancy. Has anyone heard of

> this?

Yes, I have heard of removing one uteri, but I also read that it can

be risky. What suggested about a unilateral ligation is

great advice. I have two non-equal uteri but my Dr. did not suggest

removing one of them. It just so happened that the tube on that

side is blocked so I guess I have a " natural " ligation ;-)

>>>I have a septum and my husband and i use one side

> exclusively. If we are only haveing sex on that side doesn't it

> make sense that we would get pregnant in that uterus?

It does make sense but in the world of ttcing remember unless you

stand on your head for quite a while after bd'ing those little

swimmers just might swim over the divide and into the other side.

I tried for years to get preg - 10 total, only 3 with fertility

awareness though. My right ovary doesn't produce follicles, my left

does, my right tube is open though and as I said before my other

tube is blocked. Through a miracle I got pregnant in May of 03. I

don't know if God " thumped " my ovary or he directed a follicle from

the left side to swim over to the right side but something did

happen. Anything is possible when ttcing that's for sure

Well, I'm sorry if TMI...I'm quite tired, my little miracle has been

sick and I'm not getting much sleep.

I just wanted to say good luck and don't lose hope. There is a lot

of information out there that is discouraging and lots of Dr's don't

have good MA knowledge. Find a good dr (sounds like you have) and

listen to the good reports, check out all the beautiful baby

pictures too. UD has a very high positive preg. outcome. We just

get more opportunities to see our babies before they are born with

frequent US's.
