Bicornate Uterus.......what's the firs thing I should do?

[Guest guest]

I recently got marred two months ago, and we are thinking about

Trying to Conceive sometime in the next two years (whenever it feels

right).

I've always had highly irregular periods and went through a

multitude of test a few years ago to see if there was any reason for

it. They didn't find any but they did discover that I had a

bicornate uterus. Now, not wanting to conceive anywhere in the near

future I didn't bother going to see a gynocologist about it at the

time.

Now that we're interested in having kids, would my first plan of

action be to make an appointment with a gynocologist to discuss my

options? To figure out how severe it is....this is all new to me.

Thanks!

I would make an appointment with your regular OB, and discuss your

plans about children. I have to ask, How were you diagnosed as BU?

If it was just by ultrasound, I would strongly recommend that you

seek more accurate diagnosis. Unless you have had a lap/hyst to

ensure you are BU, I would ask your OB to refer you to an RE. A

lap/hyst can ensure that you are, in fact, BU, and not SU (septate)

or another anomaly. BU is often confused with SU. SU, however, has

a higher incidence of early m/c, but the septum can be removed at the

time of the lap/hyst. With BU, complications include PTL (pre-term

labor), IC(incompetent cervix), IUGR, malpresentation (breech...).

Many BU women have very few problems carrying babies to term. With

SU, the same complications exist. Hope some of this helps. I would

definitely talk to your OB though and hopefully sh eiwll refer you to

an RE so you can get a definite diagnosis.

Hi:

I also have a possible bicornuate uterus. So far, I had an transvag.

u/s and an MRI - both confirm BU.

I am going to an RE next month because I want a more definate

diagnosis before I TTC again. (In August I had a m/c due to

chromosomal abnormalities)

I would suggest seeing an RE to confirm your diagnosis just in case

you are SU.
