Hi All!

After several years of severe period pains and a recent hysteroscopy and laparoscopy - I've been told I have 'Unicornuate Uterus' (UU) [was told 24 hours ago]. I have only one kidney. I was explained that kidney and uterus is linked - so if something is wrong with the kidney the uterus is affected.

I have been reading up on UU. I'm just in shock at the moment - not really sure what to feel or how to react.

I would love to hear from anyone who has been diagnosed with UU =)

Oh Hun - sorry to hear that.

Sending you huge hugs x

sorry to hear that never heard of that before so cant help ive got a retroverted uterus thats about it

i have a Bicornuate uterus which is a heart shaped womb and i'm not sure if it was the cause of my problems in giving birth but its something i need look into. it did make me very big less space and everything.
some times reading on google etc can cause you more worry than you need cause you tend to hear of bad stories best person to talk to is your doc hun.
good luck i hope all isn't as bad as you think it is.

I agree! I think I have been reading too much!! I have really started making myself paranoid. Was reading statistics on stillborn and miscarriage rates and they are really hard! Not too sure if I am strong enough to even start or bother!

Google can be a terrible thing - I'm always on google reading up on how women who have similar problems to me are unable to have children and it terrifies me. Each woman is so individual and different, and despite this obstacle you may well be able to have a healthy baby with no difficulties

Dear Jewlia,

I have Unicornuate Uterus. It was first diagnosed as bicornuate uterus by ultrasound. I got my positive in 2007 and was a healthy pregnancy. My daughter born at 36 gestacional weeks, 2.8 kg and 47cm, cesarian section with no complications. My doctor examined my uterus and told me it was not bicornuate.

When I was TCC my second baby i did the HSG and was finally diagnosed UU. The left cornu was normal and the right cornus was rudimentary and noncommunicating. Unfortunally I got pregnant in the rudimentary cornu, what was confirmed by MRI. Because of the imminence of rupture of the gravidic rudimentary cornu, my doctor decided to terminate the pregnancy at 14 weeks. I was a very dificulty to me, but there was no chance for me or my baby. In the surgery my doctor preserved only the left cornu.

I have 2 normal kidneys e 2 ovaries.

Ps: English is not my native language, so I sorry for any errors ;-)

Sending BIG to you!!

I was diagnosed a little over a year ago with a Bicornuate Uterus (heart shaped). I remember feeling in shock when I was told the diagnosis, and it did take quite a bit of time to come to terms with such big news. I went through so many different emotions, and at one point didn't want to talk to anyone, especially my DH, because I felt broken and like I was letting him down. After a couple days of not talking to anyone, I finally came to my senses and just opened up completely to him and realized that he too was emotionally affected by this, but re-assured me I was not alone and that we could get through this together.

All I know is that googling things can sometimes make your mind race, wonder and worry more than you before, I know it did for me. Your should try to contact your Doctor and ask if s/he is able to sit down and talk to you about it, so that all your questions are answered. I know getting the facts was a lot of help for us, and gave us hope for a better tomorrow.

If you ever want to talk, feel free to pm me, I am always willing to listen.
